Mountainfilm in Aspen begins
The Mountainfilm team (Peter, David, Justin and myself-Emily-plus extra special helpers Colin and Bebe) have descended on Aspen for what looks like it's going to be an awesome weekend of films, presentations, conversation and parties. The special guests have already started arriving en masse at the Limelight Lodge (I've already seen Martin Strel-the Big River Man, Robert Knight from Rock Prophecies, Stefan Hunt of Surfing 50 States, and Joe Chisholm from The Cove), conveniently located right around the corner from our awesome venue, the Wheeler Opera House. Eddie Bauer is also here in force, and the lovely Wheeler staff is holding down the fort.In just about two hours, we'll start our first ever mini-festival--what we hope will be the first of many. This show is a great distillation of our regular four day festival.Tonight we're showing The Cove at 5:45 and Rock Prophecies at 8:30pm. Tomorrow morning we're expecting a good turnout for the Moving Mountains Symposium on Food.Tickets are available individually or as passes from the Wheeler Box Office. Call the Wheeler for more info: 970-920-5770.[gallery]
