Sundance 2007 - Day 4

Damn, Safari just crashed and I lost 30 minutes of writing on this post. I don't really feel like doing it again. So here is day 4 in a nutshell.

Woke up and watched the Bears win the NFC Championship game at a crowded Bears friendly bar on Main Street. Yeah.

Ate over priced Thai food. What isn't overpriced in Park City?

Went to the Illinois Film Office party. That was fun. Saw some old friends from Chicago. Met the new director of the film office, Betsy Steinberg and wished her well. Spoke to Brenda Sexton, the hostess, who after four years running the film office is going to move to LA and start producing. We promised her we'll take her hiking in Griffith Park, which is our favorite thing to do in LA. Spoke to Chaz Ebert, Roger's wife, who I have met several times. What a sweet lady. She was here to let everyone know Roger is doing well and to promote his Overlooked Film Festival in the Spring.

Met Jeff and Liz again for dinner at Cicero's on Main St. and then got into the Method Fest party. Kris said hello to Lou Lombardi, who played Edgar Stiles on 24, our favorite show. He was nice. Kris told him she was sorry they killed him off.

At the party I start talking to a guy, and his name is oddly familiar. Then I remember. I had lunch with him 15 years ago in Chicago. He married a woman I knew in Chicago after she moved to LA. Small world.

Back to Coalvillle for the last time. It's past midnight - I know, early for Sundance, but we have no more parties to go to, and we are going to try to get up early and see a movie tomorrow. Yeah, right.
