Get on the Bus …. to Yorkton

Excited to be heading off to my first ever Yorkton Film Festival this week!!!!  Going with Tris Hussey and Erica Hargreave to cover the lighter side of the festival.  So if you want to read about boring interactive storytelling, social media, future of media stuff …..blah…blah…blah, then go read what they have to say on the m2o blog and on Bridging Media.  And if you want to read all the important things about the latest party, the whose who and what I wore to what party read here.

On the note of parties, I do hear that the Yorkton Film Festival is not only THE oldest film festival in North America, but THE best party.  And I do promote safe partying, so if your looking at how to get to Yorkton and are coming from Regina, leave the car behind and get on the bus.

That’s right!  I’m busing it on what I like to call the ‘Yorkton Party Train’ (yes, I know a bus and train are two different vehicles, but ‘train’ just sounds so much cooler).  You too could bus to Yorkton and hang with me (and Tris and Erica).  And you can do it for free!!!  Here are the details of the ‘Yorkton Party Train’ (aka the SMPIA Bus):

SMPIA in partnership with the Yorkton Short Film and Video Festival is pleased to announce that for the first time, transportation to and from Yorkton will be completely free to all delegates departing from Regina!

Join us for a unique networking and screening opportunity as we roll our way across the prairies!

This year, the party starts at home as the ride out there becomes a social event itself!

Why ride up and back alone?  Get on the bus!
