 Quantum
parties
In the interest of Showing even more Love, the Natives mobile party
squad (me) headed south this week, to Alpe
d'Huez and Les
Deux Alpes for the latest stops in the Show
Love Tour.
This year, to determine which of the
two resorts' staff could go the hardest, we decided to opt for the
rigour of a "scientific" experiment.
 One
band, two bars, two parties
The same venues would be used for both - Smithy's Tavern in each
resort. Each bar 'avoids the sameness' with such unerring regularity
it would begin to get a bit samey, if they didn't know how to host
a party so damn well.
One band would also play for each event: The Stunts, an international
collaboration of crowd pleasing super-mutants - like the X-Men,
but with more guitars.
The bags crammed with prizes from our sponsors were carefully checked
so that both resorts received exactly the same freebies. And random
testings were taken to ensure levels of debauchery were well beyond
EU recommended limits.
Drunken revelling carefully calculated
Alpe D'Huez narrowly inched ahead in the numbers of drunken revellers
per square metre stakes while Smithy's Alpe D'Huez had more chicks
in it per metre sq than les Deux Alpes (and more than Chamonix has
within the entire valley...)

The results
But the hardcore award, I'm afraid, must go to Les Deux Alpes.
Where wristbanded Natives were still going strong even as I was
driving away the next morning. A fresh bout may be called for between
the Superbars of the South next year.
