2015 Sundance Film Festival, part 1


One of my best friends and I ditched our husbands and kids for a few days of adventures in Park City, Utah for the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. The adventures began, the minute I departed my airplane as I had a long ass wait at the airport, waiting on my friend's arrival.  We had a slight mix up on our flight arrival times and I arrived 7 hours before her.  This girl here (me) made some damn fine lemonade out of those aiport lemons.  I got my camera out and went to work doing my mamarazzi thing. 


I legit had no clue who she was, but was like I totally 
know that face, and her name is Jennifer.  I did some
follow up research after latte purchase (see, we were at the
airport Starbucks). I think my ridiculous photographic
 memory can be credited to all the nights in college I slept 
with a  picture of Albert Einstein under my pillow. 

I was on the phone with my girlfriend (who at this point 
wasn't even at the airport to fly and meet me...we are 
quite the pair), drinking a latte WHEN I freaked the
eff out, hung up on my friend, spilled a bit of latte
on my leg as I noticed Kristen Wiig was walking past.

Whatevz, worst pic ever and she is totes a favorite.
I should try and remedy this upon arrival in Park City.

Or...I could march on over, let her know I didn't get
a good pic and ask for a redo right then and there.

We chatted a bit, but she was hesitant for a picture as
she was just getting over the flu.  So...she decided
this would cover up her flu face.  As if.  I still
absolutely adore the stuffing out of everything
she brings to the screen!


Where's Kevin Bacon, Yo!?!

Kellan Lutz insisted I be in the pic with him.  Too bad I decided
to dedicate my gaze to someone else's camera.

Mamie Gummer.  She looked HANGRY.

Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots

I can't even.  Adrian Grenier


Gaaaaaaw I was sooooo crazy excited!!! John Cusack
is one of my most favorite actors.  The driver didn't 
flinch over my excitement.  That's when it dawned 
on me Oh, Joan Cusack...I was still excited.

Joan Cusack arrived, and I realized she was crying
her eyes out.  So, I didn't keep snapping.

Jack Black.  He is not a favorite of mine, but the
 reviews of  The D Train, which premiered at the festival, 
have me excited to see this film. 



He goes by: Kid Cudi (musician)/Scott Mescudi (actor)
Had the pleasure of him seeing him the next day
in the film James White. Excellent!

Well friends, that's a wrap ON MY 7 HOURS AT THE SLC AIRPORT!
Just you wait...this year's festival was loaded with many a celeb sightings!!

Soon friends, soon.  I promise.

Mamarazzi!!

It's no secret that I have close to zero shame when we head to the Sundance Film Festival each year.  I go to see shows, yes...but I really go to play the part of pretend-paparazzi.  Yes, this is one of our annual vacations that I live for, and I just loooove standing around snapping photos of celebs (while being quite vocal in my refusal to ski during the week, as THIS IS MY TIME TO SHINE, as pretend-paparazzi).  So anyhoo, many a photographers asked me who I work for, while I 'stalk' the streets of Park City.  Who meWhat!  Really?  Well, I would reply, I am just a mom on vacation and I do this for fun, oh and for my little blog that I hope takes off at some point.

One photographer started calling me Mamarazzi.  How funny is that!  She was impressed with the celebs response to me, so she asked if she could see some of my snaps.  She said they were good and offered to send them off.  Well for Pete's sake, would you believe that I got word today that one of the photos I snapped was picked up by People magazine.  Yes, thee People magazine!  Crazy, right!  I am so excited.  I feel quite legit in my mamarazzi status now!

Here's the photo from my blog post a few weeks back.

And here she be...in the March 2014 issue of People magazine.


Still pinching myself in excitement!
Stay tuned...I might just make a mini career out of this!
