sundance film festival {and yes, a spotting of Matthew McConaughey... no big deal}

Before moving to Utah, I had heard about the Sundance Film Festival but thought that it was 1. In the summer. 2. At Sundance. and 3. Not this cool.

To clear things up... It's in the middle of the winter, it's at both Sundance and Park City, but mainly at Park City, and it's incredibly cool... Way too cool for me. 

I couldn't believe how many people were on main street in Park City! It was incredible. So many people from all over the world. Famous people walking up and down the street like it was no big deal. Cameras everywhere. And lots and lots of "hip" everything.

We got there around 4, and just hung out around main street. In the first five minutes I ran into Matthew McConaughey {no big deal}. We ate dinner, went to the Spur, and tried to keep our eyes out for celebrities. Apparently Paris Hilton, Ludacris, Adrien Grey, and Katherine Heigl were all on main street at the same time as us, but we missed them. Oh, and Bradley Cooper was at the Spur the night before us... Once again... No big deal... But I may or may not have sat where he sat. Just sayin'.


and now... the picture{s} you've all been waiting for...

Yes, I screamed like a fifteen year old girl. I was so close to him! Christy was laughing so hard she almost peed her pants, because I was acting like such a tween girl. I couldn't help it! I tried to act cool, but there was no way. All I could think about was "The Wedding Planner", the rest is history. The only downfall is that he's not his usual hunky self, due to the last role he played. He desperately needs to eat a hamburger... or twelve. Poor guy looked gauntly. Who cares though, it's Matthew McConaughey! In his dreamy state or not... I was starstruck.

  8. Okay, I totally have PC on my MUST VISIT - I'm thinking a family trip out there in the summer. I am coming to you for recos! :)

    Looks like a super fun time, and who doesn't get totally geeked for a celeb sighting? My husband once peeped Jennifer Aniston on the streets of Chicago. I was like picking my nose or tripping on my flip flop while she walked by because I missed the whole thing!

  9. What an awesome celebrity sighting! I'm such a huge fan of "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" so I would love to spot Mr. McConaughey someday! Sundance sounds like fun too :)

  14. Haha. I love this! I would have probably spazzed out and tried to touch/hug/high five or something as equally embarrassing. It looks like you had a blast!
