bells in vegas '09
OK, Y'all..... so dinner with everyone... including the hubbies was a success! It was great for everyone to get to meet each other before the trip. (we really wish you were coming Keith!) Now on to the really tricky stuff.... buying tickets and scheduling movies. For me this is THE REASON why I go. I would see 5 movies a day, if it worked out right. (time slots match up and allowing time between movies to catch the bus) As it turns out, we will probably see only 3-4 movies a day with the except on possibly Wed. We have 4 tickets already purchased, but the new Robert Duval movie Get Low is playing in the middle of the day, but, it is sold out and we will have to stand in line for that one, so ..... who knows! (hint: if going to Sundance, be prepared to stand in line at least 1.5 hours in advance to get a number .... just to see if you can get into a "sold out" show.)
See, the reason so many films are "sold out" is.... they are REALLY not sold out. They have to leave enough seats open for festival "pass holders", like myself, so there is enough seating if those people so chose to show up.... then 15 mins before the show starts they start selling off the remainig seats..... so bring cash money! ( I bought the Adrenaline Pass with lets me see ANY movie of my choice from 8-11AM and 11-midnight, it is for the crazy people! But it is the cheapest pass you can buy... $400)

The adreline pass is for crazy people so its perfect for you :) LOVE YOU!!! For the rest of us getting the advance ticket purchase time was key! A hint for a group going in the future would be to get more people to register for an advance ticket time that way they have more chances for an earlier time slot. We only had 3 times and if everyone had registered we would have had 8! Even with the three we had we had pretty good luck for the middle of the week movies. I think if you are planning to only go for a weekend the best bet is a pass -- even though it is more expensive it is the only sure way to see movies -- which is the objective of the festival right??? ;)
I really want to see that movie Get Low. I am willing to stand in line with you to see it! It looks so good!
Great, Angela! I think Wed is our best shot at seeing it.... if I remember the schedule correctly. I have ALMOST memorized it!!
