Almost the End
Posted by: dashtosomewhere on: January 24, 2009
So… my blog is dying. I’m not sure why I thought I’d be able to write regularly during the Festival. I have about half a dozen have started entries about works, films, and random stories. One day I’ll finish them.
A little story from yesterday- I helped Joseph Gordon-Levitt with this ticketing issue. He said thanks, [...]
My Ticket Scalper
Posted by: dashtosomewhere on: January 18, 2009
Sundance has a very strict ticketing policy. I’ve heard we’re in the top three events when it comes to controlling tickets- the other two events being the Grammy’s and the Super Bowl. A ticket holder cannot UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES resell their tickets. They can give them away or they can exchange them, but they can’t sell [...]
Two Down

I’m two days and two films into Sundance. The Box Office has been CRAZY. We sold about $20,000 dollars worth today, and that’s not counting the never-ending line of ticket pick-ups and exchanges. We’re all hoping that the last two days have been the “I just got here and figured everything out” time, and things [...]
See It All

One of my first questions when I started working for Sundance was whether or not it is possible for one person to see all the films at Sundance. It is not. I figured it out. It takes three people to see all the films at Sundance.
Welcome to “Brittney’s Guide to Seeing Every Film at Sundance.”

The National Champion

It is a sad day. Oklahoma lost. And I hate that.
With college football season over, this almost promises to be my last post about the BCS. But last night while sitting at the sports bar, some guys sat next to me and explained that they were cheering for Florida- simply because of math. This was [...]
Rah!

The place that I’m staying at in Park City does not have the TV Guide Channel. This means that I constantly flip through channels, trying to find something familiar or interesting. Today I stumbled on something with dancing cheerleaders. As a former spirit squad member, I figured it was some competition on ESPN and thought [...]
You’d Better Work
Posted by: dashtosomewhere on: January 5, 2009
We had locals ticket sales this weekend. Aside from working 13 hours on both Saturday and Sunday, the event went rather well and was quite painless. We started the weekend with about 90,000 tickets available, and while I can’t remember how many we sold, I do know we sold more than last year. The first [...]
Sundance Holiday Awards
Posted by: dashtosomewhere on: January 3, 2009
I recently became the winner of a Sundance Holiday Award. I won in the category of “Best Complete Oufit.” I won an awesome Tic-Tac-Toe board that will inevitably provide me with hours of box office enjoyment.
Here’s my outfit:
