Vodka party beverages
I got up to Chester's Blacksmith Shop in Park City on Friday, photographing an art show opening again this year. See the on-line gallery.
This year, I arrived early enough to poke around the Sundance scene on Main Street before the party started. I counted three tv satellite trucks in two blocks, and the night was young. Not clear to me why ESPN and MySpace have a presence on Main Street.
At Chester's, I met five of the artists in the of the Hang'm High exhibit, all doing some pretty cool stuff. I met more interesting people, like David Choe, who did the recent cover of Juxtapoz, and animated filmmaker M dot Strange, who was killing time before the Sundance (world) premier of his animated movie, "We are the Strange" at midnight that night.
I would be a useless paparazzi, in that I don't recognize celebrities. If I ever looked at tv, I might not have been surprised that:
- People are wearing fur again
- poor-boy caps are back (for women at least), and
- vodka comes in red, orange, green, blue and purple.
