Sundance 2010 is here! Kristine and I met up in Denver and flew together to Salt Lake City. We took the shuttle into Park City with a guy who is going to write about his experiences at Sundance for a piece in the New York Observer. After we checked into our hotel, we went into town to pick up our tickets and have dinner. Today is the official opening day of Sundance. It looks like attendance is going to be up this year, and there is a definite buzz of excitement in the air. In addition to the film festival, the skiers are all excited because of the excellent snow. It was snowing tonight, and we are supposed to get another foot of snow tomorrow. As we were walking down Main Street, we passed Catherine Keener. Kristine and I recognized her at the same time, even though she was wearing a nondescript black jacket with the hood up and was walking by herself. I saw this as clear proof that our celebrity-spotting skills have been honed to perfection. Kristine and I are Catherine Keener fans, but we fought the urge to say "Catherine, we love you!" You may know her from Your Friends and Neighbors, Lovely & Amazing, Being John Malkovich, or the 40 Year Old Virgin, among many other fine films.
We are looking forward to a full day tomorrow of watching films and taking in the scene.
**Huge thanks to the Ryneska family for another fabulous Sundance goodie basket. Cheese, chocolate, fruit, wine, prosecco...mmmmmmm. And even truffled popcorn!
