No Reservation

I thought I was all safe and locked in at Park City's Star Hotel, having stayed there during the '07 and '08 Sundance Film Festivals and having left a cowboy hat there as a token of my intention to return the following year. A cowboy hat left behind means you're a true-blue guy! But I failed to place a proper, formal confirmation call to proprietor Carol Rixey, and now she's given away my room. So now I have to scramble with the festival starting in 20 days. If anyone knows of a share situation inside Park City proper (just a room, a bed, a chair and good wifi), please get in touch ASAP.

Park City or nothing. In fact, Park City proper or nothing. I would rather stay in New York and never go there than stay in some outer shitty area like Kimball Jct. or Heber City or the Canyons.

I see your snobbishness knows no geographical bounds. Next year a timely reservation may work better than a cowboy hat.

By the way, what happened to all that 'Prop 8, Boycott Sundance' nonsense?

What snobbishness, moviesquad? I take it by your statement - ie, that you're making one on this subject at all - that you've been to Sundance. If that's the case, I would think that you would understand the reason why Jeff would want to stay in the middle of the action during a film festival that's a week long and goes from 8am to midnight every day.

How thoughtless of that proprietor not to know that a cowboy hat left at a hotel is international code for, "Please reserve
me a room for next year."

I bet the thread count on the sheets is indecently low.

'...having left a cowboy hat there as a token of my intention to return next month. A cowboy hat left behind means you're a true-blue guy!'

I am not a cowboy so I have no such hat. However, I have always found that a deposit works fairly reliably.

Jeff probably thought the stain he left was his deposit.

I like your standards, I mean your not a dog, and the last time you posted a photo of yourself at a film festival you looked like you had died. plus they're going to treat you like a bum and you have to watch cinematic garbage.

Shut up, it's worth it for the parties and free food.
