Sundance Film Festival 2009

The Festival is celebrating its 25th year! Way to go Robert Redford!

No, I didn't take this photo, but I did seem Liam Neeson today on Main Street in Park City. He walked past me as I was eating my amazing snicker carmel apple from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and I just gawked! Wow, there's Liam Neeson! He was just strolling along just like anyone else. It was fun to see him!

Yes, I did take this photo of Robin Williams though, with my phone. Sad, I know, not the best but I did purchase a Nikon camera later today. I'm quite excited about it! Robin Williams was the first star I saw. He walked past me a minute before Liam Neeson did. It was awesome, at the time he didn't have a million people trying to get his picture, unlike this moment, I had to be just like the crowd, and snap a few!

Here I saw Kristen Stewart, yes, Bella from Twilight! She was being interviewed by Entertainment Weekly. I came walking up Main Street and noticed a huge crowd and thus joined it, sad I know! But it's part of the fun! So everyone began yelling her name to see if she'd turn around. She finally did and...

Here she is...not the best picture, but it was so fun to actually see her. I just finished re-reading New Moon (book #2 of the series) a few days ago, and so I enjoyed catching a glimpse of her. And no, Edward was not at her side! She was in Park City for her new movie which was being premiered.

Here's a glimpse of the deck on the building where Kristen Stewart was being interviewed. Can you see the huge crowd?

And here I am! I'm standing in front of the famous Egyptian Theatre! I saw Andy McDowell, from Groundhog Day, enter the theatre. I couldn't remember who she was at the time, but I just looked her up and she is familiar. Experiencing Sundance was fun! I did go to a movie, but it wasn't my type so I walked out. But I loved just being a part of it! Everyone there is on the look for stars, and the stars are trying to not be seen. I guess it's a game! New to me, but fun to be a part of! It was fun! I've never seen a star up close before, and I was able to see 5 or more in just a few hours. I had a great time! Other starts I saw were Chris Rock, Seth Green, and Benjamin Bratt. There had been talk Jim Carrey was going to come out of a building I was next to so I stuck around to see if he would. I guess he ended up skipping out the back and running to his car. Poor guy, its got to be hard!

Wow! Quite the celebrity sightings! We are there during Sundance every year but we hardly ever make it to downtown Park City. Its the slopes, condo, outlet malls. It was fun to see you though!
