Sundance Film Festival
Park City, Utah - Day 1
It is not often that you leave Wisconsin to a new destination and find it colder. MUCH COLDER. As the tempature dips into the single digits I am beginning to think my hasty packing late last night is going to come back to haunt me.
Anyone know a good longs store in Park City?
For that matter, anyone know of a T-Mobile store in Park City?
Why a T-Mobile store? While, let me tell you about a little run in I had at a Starbucks with a pesky 8 year-old kid and a venti China Tip Green Tea. Get the picture?
Yes, the little rabble-rouser knocked over my tea while dancing around my table. All over my phone, notes, bag and computer. Thankfully, the computer seems fine. However, the buttons on my phone better start working again or I am going to be one isolated cinemagoer over the next 8 days. I will try to not take this incident as a harbinger.
Anyway, back to Sundance. Tonight is Opening Night and with it brings the annual softball to the audience, this time in the form of a Colin Farrell flick, In Bruges. It will be in theatres in the next month, so unfortunately, I will not be seeing this or going to the party (regional festival programmers like myself rarely get invited to premiere parties). I am a bit dissapointed, I must say. I really want to see if all the legendary stories of Colin Farrell's drunken escapades are true.
Well, that is all for now. Cinema going starts at 8:30am tomorrow and I need to plan my viewing.

Although separated by an ocean and multiple time zones, the Australian Outback bears remarkable resemblance to the American West. Both encompass mesas towering over rocky, dusty deserts shimmering like a mirage under unforgiving sunlight. Whip-snapping co
It can't touch Harry Potter for scope of popularity but in some pockets of pop culture, the Twilight series has reached Beatlemania in intensity. The "young adult" novels about a handsome teenage vampire boy and the mortal girl who loves him have sold 17
No, we didn't ask for an album featuring another recording of "Breathe," leading into "Time," leading into "Breathe (Reprise)," as happens on tracks two through four on Live in Gdansk. But Pink Floyd completists (we are legion) will want it anyway. Howeve
Jorge "El Guero" Hernandez may be the best-known regional Mexican artist with Milwaukee roots. Most of a decade has passed since he and brother Rogelio moved to San Antonio, but El Guero's Banda Centenario still nurtures a unique take on the often-manic D
The last decade has not been kind to Milwaukee’s German restaurants, as names like Ritter’s Inn, the Bavarian Wurst Haus and even the venerable John Ernst have all closed their doors. In fact, only two of the old-timers remain: the oldest, Mad
If you’re not from Waukesha, you’ll want to check MapQuest for directions, but it’s worth the ride. The Rochester Deli (143 E. Broadway, 262-522-9611), wedged within the labyrinth of downtown Waukesha across from the Freeman offices, is
