25 hours, 4 airports, 3 flights and no sleep

So what a day(or was it two?). We left Sydney at 9am on Tuesday morning, arrived at 6am on Tuesday morning in LA, waited around a couple of hours and flew to Dallas, waited a few more hours in Dallas and then flew to Salt Lake City. We eventually arrived to Park City, 25 hours after we had initially left Sydney.

So did anything interesting happen on the flights? Fuck no. I watched 5 films on my way to LA, i saw Kenny, Mulholland Drive, Traffic, Who Killed The Electric Car? and Miami Vice.

However one thing that was interesting was on my flight to Dallas i sat next to this 19 year old kid, who liked Halo. We got talking and i told him that i was on my way to Sundance, he told me that he had just got back from Iraq where he was stationed for 6 months and was on his way to a training base in Florida before heading back to Iraq. This kid was 19 years old. I didn't give him my opinion on the war but was more interested in finding out his perspective on what life was like for a soldier in Iraq especially as a kid, it was surreal but he was a nice guy. He told me that not much had been happening there where he was stationed, except for the odd homemade rockets that Iraqis would fire at their vehicles. He also made jokes about the 2 soldiers that had to carry shotguns because he didn't understand why they had to carry them when the others got to carry M16's.

So after arriving in Salt Lake City, we get a taxi to Park City where we are staying. HOLY SHIT, this is the best place i have ever been to in my life. Our accom for the week is a 3 level townhouse on Park Ave, about 3 minute walk to the chairlifts and a 5 minute walk to main street where all the films are. Not only is our townhouse 3 levels, but it also has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a hot tub on the balcony. So what did we do? 3 of us dudes all got in the hot tub together. Yay. At the moment out entourage consists of myself, Matt Wardle and Chalker, Dom is flying here from London and we have no idea where he is. Turns out he comes into town, gets Chalker while Matt and I are asleep and they goto a gay bar for an after party of some film showing. They had a good night.

Today is Wednesday, we awake at 2pm. I don't feel jet lagged. We go pick up our festival passes and have a nice lunch. We goto our first film tonight, it's called 'Weapons' other movies i really want to see while here are: Chasing Ghosts, Sk8 Life and The Good Life.

Okay well i'm off to have another Hot Tub. Check out photos below.
