Sundance 2011 #1

Well, the good news is we are having a fantastic time at Sundance 2011 (10th Anniversary for me!); bad news is my laptop/Internet are really, really slow posting pics, so the photos will have to wait and it's just commentary for now.

Here is a recap of the first 2.5 days...

Thursday-
After Amy and Jen arrived and we secured our Movie Tix and Sundance Swag, we settled in for some pre-dinner wine at Casa Darien. Next up, dinner at the wonderful Purple Sage on Main Street- this place is a staple for me. So yummy. The over indulgence of the night included, but not limited to, blue cheese fondue, martinis, wedge salads, pork tenderloin, salmon, butterscotch pudding... That about tops off that night. Bellies were very full and satisfied.

Friday
The movie day of all movie days! 4, yes I said 4, films in 1 day. There were:
"Rebirth"- Documentary about survivors from 9/11
"Martha Marcy May Marlene"- A young woman's life after escaping from a cult
"The Ledge"- A jumper being talked off the ledge by an unhappy police officer
"Win Win"- A struggling attorney becoming a guardian for an old man with a grandson who becomes part of their family

We saw actors such as Hugh Dancy, Liv Tyler, Terence Howard, Paul Giamatti, Amy Ryan, etc. Some great films to kick off Sundance 2011.

Saturday
Spa and concert day!!
Started with massages and pedicures at the spa (all of us did the deep tissue thing and we sure looked it afterward.... rough, but loose!)
Next up was the movie "Terri" with John C Reilly- won't say to much more about that- not one of the best we have seen here. Moving on.
Bring on the evening!!!- Cocktails, sushi, and private "Third Eye Blind" concert
I decided to splurge and get a little private VIP area for the girls so we could actually sit and enjoy the music (ok, it was really for some better people watching opportunities!)
Yep, that wrapped up a super, super Saturday

A few great days that brought tons of excitement and fun! Park City is bustling with Sundance energy as always! Next, up a relaxing Sunday with more films and pics WILL come later.
Actors ready.. and.. scene.
