Garion Dewin was born and raised in the Lower Mainlands area. Was taught to be himself and walk with pride everyday by his mom for as long as he can remember. He grew up listening to what is now considered classic rock, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Pink Floyd etc. Mixed in was also a fair amount of older music from the 40s and 50s. Add to that growing up in the 80s/90s and you get someone with a very interesting taste in music. His personal music collection mainly consists of a variety of Metal and Industrial. He claims music to be a saviour for him, it helped him deal with a rough childhood and uses it to get away. After music you'll find a love for movies. Nothing says good time to Garion like HORROR! Gore, blood, guts, and braaaiiiiiinnnnnss! When it comes to Horror, nothing beats a good, or bad, zombie movie. Bring on the zombie apocalypse. B-grade all the way baby! Godzilla has also found a loving home with him, despite Surreals' cringing, taking a good chunk of space in his DVD towers. Finish it all off with some good mind fuck movies and comedy and you're done. If it's not a movie, it's going to be a T.V. show. Keeping the list short is hard but here goes, in no particular order, NCIS, CSI, Red Dwarf, M*A*S*H, Monty Python, House, Dextor, and a whole load of cartoons. But that's not all! When he has time Garion likes to read, write, draw, cook, and absorb as much trivia as possible.
He entered the scene fully after high school when he started going to an all ages club night called Gateway (which became Resurrection and is now unfortunately closed). During this time he also came to know Sanctuary and Sin City. In between then and now he has seen a few other nights come and go, made a number of new and exciting friends, some enemies he's sure, and has tried to be a good supporter of the scene. How he came to be a promoter for Descent is actually rather simple. He was asked. Being new to it all he has a lot to learn, but will not back down from the challenge, and is determined to make Descent the best it can be. And no, his blood has NOT been replaced with Mountain Dew, no matter who says different. Although waking up surrounded by empty Mountain Dew bottles, a few wine bottles filled with a thick deep red substance, and a fresh needle mark was a bit concerning.
