In Utah there is no beer

Posted by pete at January 23, 2005 5:22 PM

Sorry to obsess so much on one topic, but free beer (as offered at last night's Femme Fatale party) doesn't mean a lot when it takes 25 to have a noticeable effect. Because if Sundance is about anything, it's numbing yourself against the deluge of shmoozing going on.

Hey there, hi there, ho there, little campers. Coming to you live from Park City on Eric Campos' shitty dial-up connection, so no pics as of yet, not that I've taken any worth showing. All nakedness has taken place off camera.

Let me just say that an indoor jacuzzi on the second floor of a condo is a recipe for disaster. No one's actually braved the hot tub yet...a houseful of dudes doesn't really make the prospect all that appetizing, but someone will get stupid before too long, I predict, and all cameras will be at the ready.

Don't know what else to report. Weather's great (warmer than in Houston, I suspect), everybody's getting along pretty well (not much of a claim, given that the first weekend isn't even over), and much hand-wringing is taking place over how best to increase our BAC without driving to Colorado.

Oh right, movies. Saw Brothers last night, a Danish film about...uh, two brothers, and New York Doll, a documentary on the post-music career of New York Dolls bassist Arthur "Killer" Kane. Both were refreshingly decent. Seeing Inside Deep Throat tonight and then, hopefully, hitting the GenArts party.

Hope everyone's enjoying their non-fabulous showbiz lives. More tomorrow.

Pete,

If you're into causing yourself serious liver damage during the festival, forget CO. Drive, take a cab or a bus to Evanston, WY which is only 70 min. from Park City, but, believe me, it's a whole different world. They've got REAL cowboys, cowgirls and enough rotgut to satiate and numb the most discerning palate. I'm talkin' vision inducing booze! BTW, have fun and stay outta the valley to avoid the smog. Any Redford sightings yet?

I take it you left your Hunter S. Thompson-prescribed suitcase at home, then?

But what about "The Aristocrats?" Is it a full-fledged phenomenon? And where has Paul Provenza been since his heyday on Comedy Central oh so many years ago?

being sober in a dirty hot tub is no way to spend an evening

The Smartest Guys at Sundance
Apparently, the new Enron documentary is knocking 'em dead at Sundance. With moonlight drenching the ski slopes outside the theater......

I am coming to Sundance this weekend and need three festival credentials to go to some events.
Do you have any ideas on where I can find some?

Good stuff, I gotta put you on my blogroll.

Come on man ... where are the updates? You're forcing us to focus on our own miserable lives for a few moments, and the result is ... terrifying.

FYI- Pete is officially sick and will probably not be updating the blog in the next few days.
Sorry.

Did his liver finally give in or it is just an unfortunate coincidence... He was the only thing keeping me sane at my job, knowing somebody is living the Hollywood life...send him my regards.

No liver malfunction, I mean come on Pete was bred to drink (half Irish, half German). My Hubbie has fallen prey to the flu.

Awwww!

Get better, Pete! Your slavering unwashed media junkie public needs you!

--Posted by HWRNMNBSOL on January 27, 2005 3:53 PM

AH HA! You made it to Evanston, didn't you? Either that or you didn't take my advice and ventured into the valley of smog aka SLC. Get well, Pete. You're my tenuous link to sanity.

--Posted by BabyJane on January 27, 2005 5:56 PM

I'm peeved. I miss my Pete.

--Posted by Tracy on January 28, 2005 10:03 AM

Hope you're feeling better, Pete. Get well soon.

--Posted by Curmudgeon on January 30, 2005 9:38 PM

That bastard the Flu bug robbing of us living vicariously through Pete (probably no doubt from flying- those tin cans are full of sick people and their diseases) Hope you are feeling better by now, Pete!
