On the Circuit: Scenes From Sundance 2009
Glitz, glamour & DBTH. What a winning combination. As usual, DBTH was on the scene to check out opening weekend when most of the magic happens. Here's a quick recap.
With the pending inauguration in D.C., Park City was front loaded to get the main events over with during the opening weekend. Most of the "talent" had departed by Monday to head east, and we are guessing many of them were forced to share a Gulfstream or, gasp, fly mersh. Pity. Friday evening found us at the 'Brooklyn's Finest' premiere party thrown by Greenhouse at Sky Lodge and presented by 360 Vodka. The movie stars Ethan Hawke and Wesley Snipes, but we also spotted Kevin Bacon, which makes us only 2 degrees removed from Bernie Madoff. Something we can always cherish.
Saturday night is right this way.
Saturday night in Park City led us to the Tao Lounge at the Sundance Lift for the 'Spread' after party, starring Ashton Kutcher. Sir Ashton graced us with an appearance with Demi Moore, making out knees tremble with glee. Heh. Also making the kids go ga ga were Sting, Anthony Keidis, Slash and Woody Harrelson. As always, the Tao Lounge was a zoo, with swarms of people pleading with the door people that they of course were on the list. Newsflash - you aren't. Once inside, the Lounge was crowded but in a jovial way, with a crowd there to truly appreciate the art of cinema and Sir Ashton, a true thespian and gift to the craft.
Sunday night brought us to the best party of the weekend, the Vice/Elite event at the new Downstairs. Word to the wise. If you are going to throw an event out here, get a damn modeling agency to co-host. It makes a difference. The Randolph Wrecking Crew whipped up copious amounts of their Progress Punch, Perry Farrell Scribble provided the music and P. Swayze came by to show he is still making it happen. Oh yeah, Vice had a movie or something in Sundance at some point.

Wesley how about paying your taxes this year you bum! you might even be eligible for your Obama tax rebate..
What makes Mr. Snipes a bum? What is an Obama (Mr. President) tax rebate? Does people paying taxes make you happy? How much in taxes does all the delinquent taxpayers owe? Have their been any other actors, athletes, teachers, cigarette manufacturers, hotdog vendors, construction companies, lawn maintenance companies, hooter girls, doctors or judges that you feel need to have their ledgers reviewed for taxation legitimacy? Or are you like most people, you just want to see a historically flawed legal system, perfected? I hope you want wrongs righted. That way I would be happy knowing that someone else in the world wants fairness, justice, and equality granted to all without excessive partiality. However, if you practice peace, it is hard to have hate in your heart. And all you witness, shall be painted with the same colorful brush of tolerance and civility.
