SUNDANCE!!

I just got back from Park City. I was there for the Sundance Film Festival and, let me tell you, it was a blast!!!!

It was a week filled with movies, music, parties and free clothes! Fred Segal put on this party where you, literally, walked into a room packed with everything from jeans to shoes to jackets, were handed a bag and got to go around the room taking what you wanted of the clothes and putting it into your bag. It was like heaven.

I also saw Damien Rice perform at the ASCAP Cafe. I'd never seen him perform before. The entire room was completely silent the entire time. There's something about his performance that is just so real and it hit me on a whole different level; created quite an emotional impact.

I got perform an a couple different Sundance parties with artists such as David Archuleta and BT. This was actually written in one of the magazines:

The Festival opened with mutiple 3-D gala events in Park City on January 16th - 18th with performances by David Archuleta, Alyssa Suede and Paul Oakenfold, who entertained attendees with the 3-D Dance Floor Exhibit presented by Action 3-D and The Dream Factory.

The one thing I regret was not going skiing. =( Guess I'll have to go back next year!
