I would like to say one last round of thank you's to the people who helped make Thrill The World Vancouver possible. First of all, Ines Markelle is the creator and director of Thrill The World, and without her videos and global coordination, none of this would have happened. Thank you Ines!
Marie Lopes at the Roundhouse Community Centre put a lot of work into sorting out the venue logistics for the event and put up with my barrage of last-minute emails in the week leading up to it. Kerry O'Donoghue and Amanda Brubaker of Ceroc Vancouver did an excellent job of teaching the workshops and the crash courses. Kevin Lim of Virgin Radio continually plugged the event on the radio, calling me every few days to let me on the air and say my piece. Jody Larkin got us the space at the Warehouse and taught a great lesson there. And it was Thuy Khuc of the Vancouver Film School who approached me about bringing a team of makeup artists into the Roundhouse to do all of our dancers' makeup. All of these people made huge contributions to the Vancouver event, so thank you very much.
I'd also like to thank the Thrill Day team for their very hard work: Fumie Odette, Steve Macdonald, Dean Fogg, Jody Larkin, Rachael Jones, Karen Ameyaw, Eric Lee, Kimberly Cox, Sandra Trace, Suzanne Louise, Kimli Welsh, Jason Webb, and Steve & Fareedah of the Food Bank. You guys were awesome and kept everything running like a well-oiled machine!
Finally, one more round of thanks to our guest judges for the costume contest: Rebecca Bollwitt of Miss604.com, Theresa Lalonde of the CBC, Hans Ongsansoy of the Province, and Kevin Lim of Virgin Radio.
