vix in the city: altitude sickness

not feeling too good to be honest... feel sick, headache, very wobbly... but hey! i'm here at sundance - i'll get over it!

so, i have been slobbing about for the last few days, drinking, chatting and generally sitting on buses going the wrong way round park city.

it's snowy and cold, but glorious blue skies and sun - and it's lovely and warm when the sun's out. pretty cold in the evenings though... i have done a couple of bits of 'training' mostly common sense if i'm being honest - but then crisis dependency centre gives you some general training that you're never going to get anywhere else!!!

i finally made it downtown yesterday - and main street is a traditional small american town street... the rest of park city is quite different. as with all american towns, everything is really spread out - don't know what we'd all do if there weren't free buses to take us around.

so, i'm working at the eccles theatre - it's the biggest cinema in park city (1267 seats), and it's part of a school! lots of the venues here are used for other things the rest of the year. the library which is just up the road from the apartment is actually a library usually, but it has a decent sized screening room - the volunteer screening that i went to on tuesday night was there. the film was a doc called 'the overnighters'. i think my favourite venue is the egyptian - such a cute old-fashioned cinema downtown - see pics...

in about an hour i'll be heading over to eccles for this evenings shift - from 3.30pm to midnight and there'll be two films tonight - 'whiplash' and 'dinosaur 13' but i won't get to see them tonight... i'm going to get my thermals out as i might be outside and it's gonna get cold!

there are 8 of us in the apartment... pretty diverse mix - michelle is from near cambridge, juan is from chicago, dan and cecilia are from philadelphia, matt is from ohio, elicia is from southern california and lebene is ghanian, but living in seattle. they all drink more than me (but you know i'm a total lightweight) but i'm trying to keep the british end up!!!
