So tonight’s party hotline:

• 5 pm  Kickoff BBQ in beautiful downton Yorkton (sponsored by Yorkton Business Improvement District) .  So hurry up and put on your jeans, t’s and cowboy boots, it starts shortly and yes I will likely be fashionably late and no, I am not sure where in downtown Yorkton, but just follow the sound of the hoot’in and holler’in. (PS You need a BBQ pass for this one)
• 7 pm Screening of 45 RPM at the Painted Hand Casino (no idea what it’s about, but I understand it is a feature length film and is free for all)
• Post Screening Reception (hoping and guessing there will be drinks)
• Stay tuned for post, post screening festivities in the comments (and feel free to post the fyi on events for this evening that you know about there)

Bright-eyed and bushy tailed this AM (despite ugly rumors from Mr Hussey suggesting I was over imbibing – really people, who are you going to believe) and excited to be getting on the Yorkton Party Train (bus) in a few short hours.

At any rate, wanted to drop a quick note, mentioning that I am going to endeavor to publish the evenings parties here each day (hopefully before the evening – I should be up by then). I am guessing that like at the Banff Television Festival, there are a slew of parties that happen that are not in the ‘official festival schedule’, so I need your help, especially since I am a ‘Yorkton Vigin’.  Know of a Yorkton Film Festival Party?  Drop me a note on it with details here or on twitter and I will post it in my daily Yorkton Party Hotline Manifesto.
