The powder on Pinyon Ridge. Stogies with Weinstein. Late-night champagne hot tubbing at Redford’s place. But enough about your last vacation in Utah; let’s talk Sundance 2011. Which, in case you need reminding, is just five days away...
You don’t require much from your Sundance party spots. Some empanadas. A little whiskey. And, okay, a rooftop hot tub. You’ll find them all at this brand-new lounge atop the Sky Lodge. You may want to wait until you dry off before heading for the humidor.
Last year, this was where you hobnobbed with Orlando Bloom and Kristen Stewart, and now they’re starring in your upcoming remake of Romancing the Stone. The joint relocated, so you’ll workshop the sequel at the Claim Jumper Hotel. It’s allegedly haunted, which gives you an idea for a Shining reboot...
Redford’s hosted you all these years, so it’s about time you return the favor. Here, you can get the chef from Cecconi’s LA to cook up a private meal for you and Bob. And when you need a break from inking three-picture deals, there’s a wellness bar on hand.
Lou Reed—rock star, man-about-town, generally an interesting guy. Lou Reed’s cousin: turns out, pretty interesting, too. So he made a documentary about her (she’s 100 and survived two world wars), which he’s showing here. He’s also playing a little rock show, too.
Between the endless lineup of screenings, meet-and-greets and brainstorming art projects with James Franco, you’ve got a lot going on. One easy way to manage it: the Sundance app, which lets you peruse trailers to see what’s really worth leaving the hot tub for.
