Day 2
Fader Lounge, Levi's Lodge, Park City, 24 January 2005
I had a great idea for a hairdressing detective show. It could be called "The Adventures of Hoxton Finn and his sidekick Asymmetric Bob".
Perhaps I could pitch it as a movie as we are hanging around at the Sundance Film Festival which reminds me of the Edinburgh Fringe crossed with South by Southwest but without any of the action.
It was nice to lie down in a bed, even if it was only for a short while. We were up again at 6.30 to check in all our extra baggage, which we achieved with seconds to spare. The woman at the check in desk was not happy with us.
The flight to Salt Lake City was again stunning. Flying above the clouds in the sparkling blue sky and then seeing the summits of mountains like islands in a fluffy white ocean. I guess it's a regular sight for regular mountain-travellers, but it was the first time I had ever seen it and it was wonderful.
Underneath the clouds Salt Lake City was grey and cold, but as we drove into the mountains towards Park City the skies cleared and everything went all winter-wonderland. I was under the impression that Utah was mostly desert, so that shows what I know.
Before we could finally sleep we were performing a short set at the Fader Magazine party at the Levi's Lodge, which is too-cool-for-you times 2. It was almost exactly like I thought it would be.
