COPING BASH 4 // RECAP

Yet another Coping Bash has come and gone from the heart of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, and it was another contest and bash for the ages. In the end, Kassy Bailey took the women's contest, Adam Hopkins—a man possessed—took the men's contest, and 3 turned out to be a confusing yet still magical number. Check out this video recap from Out Of Step Productions and scroll on down for some photos from Jeff Thorburn.

Thanks to Powell Beer, Whistler Water, Antisocial Shop, and SBC Restaurant for once again making the Coping Bash happen.

At first it might smell like a Stalefish, but sniff a little bit longer and you'll discover it's in fact a fresh and rare Roast Beef.

When the madness down below temporarily subsided, Jeff Matheson travelled high to low in a most melancholic fashion.

Possessed to skate or possessed by Satan? Adam Hopkins grabs tail and grinds nose across the Dark Lord's Lounger.
