Sundance Day 3

Today was spa day.
It was also snow day, tons of snow all day long...it was fabulous :)

We arrived at the spa and were greeted by the sweetest black lab...yay doggie love! (I MISS SOPHIE)
After a fabulous 90-minute massage we headed to Deer Valley for lunch and watch the snow fall.

We had our second movie last night "For Ellen". Staring Paul Dano and John Heder.
It was 93 minutes- and probably could have been 45. It was about a journey of a young father on a road-trip to gain custody of his child. Even Paul Dana (lead role) said after he thought it read as a short story. It was a good story, with a lot of unnecessary long scenes of nothing.

After we walked up to Main Street (about 3 blocks). It was still snowing heavy and the walkways were not shoveled so it made for an adventure and a lot of fun. While wandering we stopped at a bar and had a hot cider & whisky (blah) drink at the ice bar outside. While I was in the bathroom Scott Wolf and his wife, Kelly Limp, walked by (so bummed I missed him, he was on Party of Five Cathy's all time favorite show). Then as we wandered Main Street we saw James Marsden, Scott Speedman, Kate Bosworth and Marley Shelton. OK- to be honest I would have missed all of them if it wasn't for Darien and Amy who know every celebrity on this earth. Me = clueless. (pic of Kate Bosworth below)

Amy spent the night in her Bogg boots helping people through the HUGE slushy puddles. My suede UGGs were a disaster after walking into a few accidentally and by the time we were home my toes were soaked inside my boots! I did find a really cute pair of waterproof boots while here and I think last night gave me justification as to why I should buy them :)

We finally made it back through the snow and headed to bed. Tomorrow we have TWO movies. One is a "Shorts Series" so about 5 short movies and the other is FOR A GOOD TIME CALL.Starring Seth Rogen, Justin Long, Nia Vardalos, Mimi Rogers, Ari Graynor. A story about 2 women who start a phone-sex business. Goal of the night: Meet Seth Rogen! Not sure this theatre will allow for this though.

Welcome to the Sundance Film Festival


Arrived to Salt Lake City to be picked up by Darien and headed straight up to Park City. I was surprised to see the lack of snow here, sadly I was actually excited to see some snow after our lack on it in Minnesota this winter.

We arrived and did a driving tour of the city so I could get the lay of the land. Cute town and starting to fill up with film goers.

We got "checked in" to Darien's super cute condo and then headed over the Sundance Headquarters to check out the Sundance Store. I managed to buy a few souvenirs.

We headed back to the condo for some wine and then off to The Purple Sage for a wonderful dinner.
We were STUFFED after so walked the slick streets and walked some of it off.

Tomorrow is our first movie. It is called: THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID

Directed by Carrie Preston (True Blood) and Starring Anne Heche and Alia Shawka
Story about friendship, love and adventure in NYC

Sundance Preview

Thursday I am flying out to Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival.
No, this is not for work...everyone seems to ask.
I have always dreamed of attending, so when I was offered the chance to attend with two fabulous women... I of course said "YES PLEASE", and "Thank you!"

I will be posting about the movies we see, the celebrities we see and of course the fun we have.

Stay tuned!
