I'm writing from a Day's Inn in Salt Lake City. It's currently 2:30am Mountain Time, Sunday morning and in 2 hours we're going to wake up to get tickets to some more screenings from the box office. AW YEAH!
So a quick recap of Saturday:
Arrived in SLC at 5pm Mountain Time. There was four of us, two James' and two Mikes.
Here's one of each on the plane to SLC:
Plane ride was short and fun. We made friends with two ladies on board and one of them threw an orange condom at us (still in the package). That was very jarring to me (this has never happened to me before) but funny.
Here's what it looked like when we arrived:
The mountains and the clouds here in Utah are very majestic. So are the highways. They are WIDE. The temperature was cool, but wasn't as cold as we expected it to be. It was fairly comfortable. After getting a rental we made our way to the Sundance box office:
We picked up tickets to our advance purchase screenings and bought some new tickets.
One of the advance tix that we got was for a film being screened that night called: Martha Marcy May Marlene
It was a good film. It's about a girl named Martha (Elizabeth Olsen) that has just escaped a cult and the 2 week adjustment period she has after moving in with her much more socially acceptable older sister Lucy (Sarah Paulson). Elizabeth Olsen did a really good embodying the main character and I believe has a bright future ahead for her (she has another film being screened at Sundance, a horror film called "Silent House"). We had a real treat after the screening cuz her and the director, Sean Durkin, came out for a Q & A:
She has a strong film presence and has a style all her own that I like much more than her two older sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley (they're sisters, crazy huh?).
After the screening, we drove around in circles before finally finding our hotel.
Time to crash.
I look forward to the coming day.
