Bad Religion, Justin Timberlake and Mandy Moore

So what do these 3 have in common? The last 3 days of my life, that's what. So a quick update i am still in Park City, Utah for Sundance actually i just returned today from Cleveland but more on that later. Let's go in chronological order here.

Thursday
Matt Wardle and I get up really early to get some tickets to some movies we want to see today, we got tickets to The Good Life(written and directed by pro skater Steve Berra) and Sk8 life(one of the worst movies i have ever seen). Today is the first day we decide to hit the slopes and go snowboarding, fuck we are terrible. We decide to ditch the lesson because we are pretty crap skateboarders and think fuck it we can do this. We were WRONG. First of all we don't know how to strap ourselves into the board or get on the chairlift, 10 minutes later and we are at the top of a pretty big mountain. I decide to go first and fall pretty quickly, actually i fall as i am coming off the lift. Dom drops one of his Ski stocks from the lift onto the ground. Matt and I go one way and Chalker goes another. BIG MISTAKE. Matt and I actually went on the advanced path, shit. I ate alot of snow, have a few million bruises and 2 hours later we had made it down the mountain. Feeling like kooks we decide to give it one more shot, take the lift up but this time take an easier route and in 10 minutes we are down the hill with minimal falls, this leads to a big confidence boost but unfortunately the lifts have shut for the day.

Friday
Another early morning. 5:30 to be exact. Matt and I have to fly to Cleveland, Ohio for the Warped Tours induction into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. America shits me. The security at airports is so anal and you always have to take connecting flights. BORING. We get to Cleveland and check into our hotel aka THE MARIOT. No big deal. The Rock hall of fame is amazing, Kevin Lyman the founder of Warped hooked us up with Media passes so that we could film the induction for our film. This was exciting for us, but what was more exciting were the bands performing. Bad Religion + Pennywise + Bouncing Souls + Paramore. I filmed some of the bands sets and got to watch these bands play in a museum infront of about 200 people. A couple of emo teenage girls think that we're famous and ask for our autographs, i signed some girls report card. We head back to the hotel, to sleep for another early morning flight back to Salt Lake City, Utah.

BUT WAIT... While we had left, Dom and Chalker stayed at Sundance. My good friend, Jacki came to visit us and took the guys to the Little Miss Sunshine/Netflix private party. Mandy Moore was at the party and her and Chalker shared a kiss, at first i could not believe this but it turns out it's true. Through mutual friends they ended up hanging out and Jacki told Mandy it was Chalkers birthday, so that is when they had their kiss. I was insanely jealous by this story and thought that her and Zach Braff were dating, right? Well the same morning i walk past a newsagent and she is on the cover of Jane Magazine with the title reading "MANDY MOORE: SINGLE AND LOVING IT". At this moment i pushed everything aside and declared that Mr Steven Chalker had won at life. In another story, Dom also picked up a girl(or should i say woman) who claimed to be 31 but stories say more like 41 nicknamed "The Cougar".

Saturday
It's Saturday night right now. Not a real eventful day, we went to a few terrible fucking bars and am now sitting in the loungeroom of our townhouse trying to work out where we went wrong. Tomorrow is the last day of Sundance, but everyone has left anyway. Oh hang on you want to know my celebrity spottings, ok they are: Justin Timberlake, Jena Malone and Zooey Deshanel. Everyone has been here though from Bono to Lindsay Lohan. Tired, tired, tired. Going to hit the slopes again tomorrow, hopefully i get better at this snowboarding shit.
