Sundance '09

Maggie and I just concluded year II of working as fleet drivers for Sundance. We were both assigned to airport duty the first few days, which means we set up shop at the Sundance kiosk in terminal 2 and assumed the paramount responsibilities of 1. greeting VIP's as they arrived 2. assisting them to their vehicle 3. usually with an inordinate amount of luggage in tote. This may sound simple but trust me when all planes touch down at the same time - which they do - and there are over 30 people to be greeted at once, the airport quickly morphs into a scene from this year's nominated best dramedy. Add a few self-deficient celebrities and a handful of paparazzi to the mix and you have a reel worth blogging about.

Enter cast:

This year the paparazzi was thick and hot on our trail. We were constantly dodging the fire of ultra zoom lenses and intrusive questions as, "will you sign this for me???" and "who are you dating anyway?" Lucky for us we managed to remain fairly hidden behind various obstacles throughout the terminal.

The following photos were sighted on various internet celebrity gossip websites and are available to download for non-commercial use.

Exhibit A.
Here we are captured while assisting this nice lady with her inordinate amount of luggage.

Exhibit B.
Here they fired away at me while headed down the "Jeston" walkway. I wish they would leave me alone.

Exhibit C:
Maggie engages in pleasant conversation with cohort Ewan McGregor.

Exhibit D:
The relentless paparazzi attempted shot after shot at Maggie's assets but were consistently thwarted by this kindly fellow who acted as her blocker.

Sundance '09 Highlights:

Maggie to Mike Tyson: so the paparazzi.. is it obnoxious? or do you maybe love it a little?

Tyson to Maggie: I love YOU.

Myron to Pierce Brosnan: I think Tyson made a pass at my girl. Does this mean I am obligated to fight him?

007 to Myro: This will be easy. Just dance silly in front of him to distract him and then kick him where it counts.
