Monday was officially the fifth day of the Sundance Film Festival if you count the Gala in Salt Lake City.  The fourth in Park City.  And it was our third full day here.  This is a day that is generally characterized with a lot of transition.  The opening weekend is in the books and many folks that only come for the first weekend (since that is when the majority of the bigger films open) head out of town.  This year sees yet again most of the first weekend opening films already lined up with distribution by major channels.  So with great film geekness, we are getting excited about these next 2 swing days and then the start of our package B selections. 

Driving in Park City is always a challenge and parking is damn near impossible.  With that in mind, we head on down to the box office on Main Street to pick up our tickets for the second half of the festival.  While looking for a parking spot, I spy a bunch of freshly stapled posters for the movie we wanted to see tonight, "Goliath."  So I jumped out and grabbed one for Hazy.  Nothing like below freezing mercury to make sure that you cannot feel your fingers wince in pain while pulling staples out off poles.  Once at the box office, we were pleasantly surprised to see there was one ticket available for "Goliath."  So tonight's wait-list was already off to a great start.
