It Must Be Love...

Note: I love these guys. They made Sundance that much more enjoyable.

Sundance was amazing. It was the most exciting experience. I didn't expect to have as much fun as I had. I thought it might get a little bit dry if I were just going to watch movies day after day. Boy was I wrong. I had the BEST time. It may even be one of my favorite trips.

I ended up watching 8 movies, and loving the experience. Even when the movies were really bad, I found myself enjoying myself (it could be because it would then become the perfect time to take a nap). There is something so different about watching an independent movie. The plot would generally be so random that you can't help but like the movie. A guy who likes to cross dress? Robots in love? How can I not like the movies? 

The weather was just perfect. It was snowing for most of our trip. I didn't think it was that cold because I was properly bundled up. The only problem was trying to keep my feet from getting wet. My shoes weren't really waterproof, and the giant puddles looked liked small lakes to me. It was almost impossible to stay dry when it was snowing heavily.

Everyone on the trip was wonderful. We shared cooking duties, stayed up late into the night and played games. (Although I had anxiety when we were playing charades.) We all got along great which I think made the trip so much better for me.

Whenever we were going to watch a movie, we had to take the bus to the theater. That was an interesting experience. After every movie, the actors and directors would come out and discuss their movies. I love that about Sundance, people would come out and talk about their movies. They were passionate about it, and I found it charming. (Josh Radnor was pretty amazing.)

The town on Main Street was so cute that I immediately feel in love. The houses looked so cozy and charming. I fell even more in love when I got a bunch of free loot. I ended up with countless water bottles, a journal, beer glasses, gloves, a mug, chapsticks, mints, and sunglasses. How can I not love Utah?

I never thought that I was really passionate about movies (I just enjoy it immensely), but I think I am addicted. I am addicted to Utah and glorious Sundance. I have an itch to watch a countless number of movies. I NEED TO WATCH MORE!

I had an amazing trip, and I am already counting down the days when I can return. :)
