The Snotcicle Chronicles

PARK CITY, Utah - We have a new theme this year for our coverage of the Sundance 2008 Film Festival. We are calling it "The Snotcicle Chronicles." Why? I will tell you why. It's fricking freezing in Park City this year. Our first day at Sundance was January 17th, and it was so cold our snot was literally freezing. I know it's gross, but it's the truth.

It was so cold we thought about wearing one of these!




Anyhow we have lots of great videos to post up of our adventures so far. We aren't able to make it up to Sundance today due to a massive snow storm. But we will post more information on exciting films etc. So stay tuned!

Welcome to Outcry Magazine's Sundance 2008 Blog!

Starting this Thursday we will bring you coverage of the Sundance Film Festival 2008!

So join us on our adventures in Park City Utah as we blog daily in the all new Outcry NOW!!!
