Inaugural Party for the BC Union of Media Sluts

Come help us recognize Vancouver's top Media Sluts as we launch BCUMS --
the BC Union of Media Sluts -- an unprofessional organization for
recognizing those who delight in making asses of themselves for the sole
purpose of gaining media coverage. Inaugural honourary union memberships
will be awarded to: 

* Briony Penn, for riding topless on a horse through the streets of
Vancouver, to publicize logging in the Gulf Islands.
* Brian Salmi, for running for provincial office as Satan (and for his
previous stunts with the Rhino Party).
* Conrad Schmidt, for ripping off his clothes (and jumping on his
bicycle) everytime the media shows up. 
* Carmen Mills, for her role as Alison Unserwear at the yearly Wholesome
Undie ride. 
* Rosalynn Cassels, for throwing fits at Park Board meetings.
* Jamie Lee Hamilton, for being her wild unstoppable self.
* Lee Henderson, for providing the spiritual guidance for T. Raax ('99
Dino Party candidate for Mayor)
* Neil Monkton, for bringing loudspeakers to Shaghnessy for a simulcast
of the Molson Indy (and various other mediagenic shenanigans). 
* and others!
