You gotta lose your mind in Utah, Park City.

The honchos at Film Threat obviously didn't learn their lesson following my near-constant drunkenness and annoying habit of prank calling Minnie Driver last year, because they're sending me to the Sundance Film Festival once again. In less than 24 hours I'll be traveling to the chilly confines of Park City to rub elbows with bored celebrities and the self-important media assholes who love them.

Tomorrow's a travel day, but all during next week you'll be able to find pithy commentary, out-of-focus photographs, and bitter diatribes from the festival right here in this very spot.

Will your intrepid reporter be able to snap a picture of Crispin Glover before getting a boot to the head? Will he remember to bring enough liquor to counter the annoying ineffectiveness of 3.2 beer? Will Monica Bellucci inexplicably fly to Utah to profess her undying love for him? Stay tuned.

There's a saying, that originated in Tejas I believe, which would explain both the Shrubs "re"-election and your reselection to attend Sundance: Luckier than a horse with two dicks.
(just kidding about that second part).

Enjoy the trip, Pete! I'm officially both impressed and envious.

Yeah, while I'm at it, take N.E. and the 3 pts. Money in the bank.

I've never been to sundance before. I assume it's just a bunch of rich white people up there. But that is park city in general.

Good Utah shout out though, we don't get enough hype.

Let me know if you get in to see 'Thumbsucker'. I'm a huge, huge fan of Mike Mills (the graphic designer/ director, not the bespectacled bass player for REM) and gotta know how his debut is.

Have fun!

That explains all the white Gucci robes I saw on the flight up here.

Actually, I've seen quite a few brothers since I've been here, and they've all been dressed better than me. Of course, the volunteers are dressed better than I am. So take that for what it's worth.

Enjoy yourself.

Oh, Kathy insists that, should you ever get sent to Cannes, you must take her along as an interpreter.
