Sundance

On Friday night Caleb and I really wanted to see "Exit Through the Gift Shop" downtown as part of the Sundance film festival. It's about Banksy...a really great artist from the UK. We didn't have tickets to see it, but decided to try our luck at the wait list. (We have seen movies on the waitlist in previous years and have never had a problem) We showed up at the venue a little over an hour before they started to hand out wait list numbers. We ended up with number 20 & 21. Pretty good numbers for wait list....we thought we had a sure shot in. When it came time to start letting wait list in, the theater was getting full and ticket holders kept showing up....limiting the amount of wait list numbers getting in. We got to the front of the line....18 wait list numbers had gotten in. Then they had 2 more spots. So one of us would be able to go. Caleb had is money out and was ready to go in. Then one last ticket holder showed up and they didn't let Caleb in. We stood there for about 5 minutes...hoping a couple spots would open up. They didn't, we didn't get in! We were soooooo close. If there were only 2 more seats in the theater, we could have seen the show. We were pretty disappointed. We really wanted to see the show. I hope it gets picked up by a production company. We will keep our eyes open to see if it makes it to the theaters or to DVD.

Banksy even did some artwork in park city while he was in town. This is just off Main Street in Park City.


Saturday, we decided to try another movie. This one was playing in Park City. We had much better luck with the wait list. We were numbers 2 & 3, and some nice person in line gave us a voucher for our tickets. So it was FREE. Totally great day! We saw "Nowhere Boy". It's about John Lennon's childhood and how the Beatles started. I highly recommend it to everyone. It was a really great film.


waiting in Starbucks to get in line to see if we will get in.
