A little while ago I posted about me becoming a volunteer at the Sundance Film Festival this year (well, technically next year, since it's in January '08). I'm getting more and more excited about it. I only signed up to be part-time, which is committing to a minimum of five 4-hour shifts - but with the unlimited possibility to pick up more.

I have thoroughly read and signed my volunteer agreement and release form:

agreement

I agreed to not take any stalkerazzi photos (at least during the times that I'm working!) like this one:

Jennifer A. at Sundance

I'm hopefully going to be working inside of the retail store located in the Egyptian Theater in Park City (one of the main venues for films and Q&A sessions at the festival):

The Egyptian

I get a free film voucher for every 4 hours that I work ... so that's at least 5 free films. I've been poring over the entries list trying to decide what I want to see. I'm extra excited, too, because my Aunt has a house in Park City right off main street, so I have a place to go before and after my shifts. That's going to come in really handy, too, when I can park in her driveway and not have to fight the festival parking or take a shuttle. Plus most of my family goes up to the festival at some point -- it's fun to just walk up and down main street looking for celebrities and getting all the free SWAG everyone is giving away. Now they'll also be able to come visit me!

How fun, Erin! I'm so looking forward to your behind-the-scenes lowdown!

I am jealous my face off! How exciting for you. I expect a lot of updates about the festival. :)

Yeah...what Cori said. :)

That picture of JA kind of doesn't look like her. If you see someone like, oh, I don't know, JK, please tackle him and take him home with you.

I didn't even know how this JK character was until Jen started stalking him but he is VERY stalk-worthy. If I saw him I would have to tell myself, "I'm a married woman, I'm a married woman, I'm a married woman ...... who is also 30 pounds overweight, has two kids and a ruined body."

It's so awesome you get to do this and go see some films. Ugh. I would love to do this sometime. Maybe we'll come visit you guys in Jan. some year so we can catch some of the festival ;)

LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm so jealous! :D i wish i could do that!!! :D have a great time! can't wait to hear all about it! :)

[this is good]

i remember this! i can't believe it's already here . . . you're going to love it, i'm sure. don't forget to keep us updated! (there's no rule against gossip, right?)

Yes another item to add to the ... "maybe we should move to Utah" list. If you see my boyfriend Matt Damon please tackle him to the ground and plant a big kiss on his cute face ;)

Very sweet! Definitely keep us posted. I'll be very curious to see what things are like from "the inside".

ugh. SO. JEALOUS.

I didn't read the agreement too closely, but that just *might* be against the rules. I'll double check, though. ;)

Expect gossip galore! I need to start brushing up on my celebrity awareness, though, because I have the feeling I'm not going to recognize someone and miss out on something great!

That's right -- he's all mine! Well, I suppose Cori and I will have to fight to the death...

I'm pretty sure he's a regular there, too, so I'll keep an extra eye out for him for you. Do you have any erincooks.com business cards that I could pass discreetly to him? :)

Um, yeah. It's not like you couldn't just plan a trip here and GO YOUR DANG SELF! :)

Yeah ... I think I'm going to have to enter myself into this fight, though. Unless you're scared of a 5'2" scrawny girl with weak arms beating you up? ;)

Be fair, be fair, you have a HUSBAND. I have...nobody. Feel sorry for me.

That is *so* cool!

how fun. that's one (i'm sure of many) positives about the move. i've been neglecting my vox neighbors and need to catch up. glad to see things are going well.
