He just sees films.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That is all he does and you will not see him."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Although I was little broken hearted, I was still excited about going to Sundance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Finally, I got to Park City!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was incredible.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Not as cold, town a little smaller and air a little thinner&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;than I thought it would be.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Getting up at the crack of dawn to get in the wait list line&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;for the 8:30am film was no problem for me!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I was too excited to sleep!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Watching films all day, including the midnight show&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;takes more energy than you can imagine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;On the first day, we went back to the condo and talked&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;about the films we saw until 4am.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;While great, it was hard to get up at 7am to start the process over!&lt;br /&gt;But hey, I was only there for 3 and half days and I can sleep when&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I get home!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Finally, on my last day I was hanging outside of the&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Egyptian Theater wondering if there was ANYTHING I needed&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;at the top of the hill before I went down again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After a couple of trips up and down that hill, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;you really think before you go down. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There is nothing worse than having to go back up after you got to&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;the bottom of the hill. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, I am hanging out and I see a crowd around the Egyptian.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Standard deal, a lot of the media shoot in front of the Egyptian.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I wandered over to see which filmmaker or celebrity was getting interviewed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To my surprise, it was a crowd of people around Roger Ebert!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;People were getting their photos taken with ROGER EBERT!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He was trying to get to his next screening.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I grabbed my camera out of my bag.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Please Mr. Ebert, may I have a picture too?'&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"I really have to get to my screening."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I grabbed the person closest to me and told him to take our picture.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The guy didn't how to work my camera but I saw that the shutter opened and closed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That would have to be good enough.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And IT WAS!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;No one believed me that I actually saw him, until. . . .&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I showed them this photo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have been back to Sundance in 2005 and 2007&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;but the 2003 will always be my favorite because I met&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Roger Ebert!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To my Arizona International Film Festival friends&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;that are going this year (without me!) -&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;may you have TOO MUCH FUN!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;And if anyone see any of my AIFF friends, say HI!.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They may have something to give you!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

at Kappy's!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Last week, the Don Wee Now Team cleaned up!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They took an incredible 4 of 6 games!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is simply unheard of!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Will their reign of terror continue tonight?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Another weird thing from last week's BINGO &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;is that we had someone win after only 4 numbers &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;were called!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!?!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We tripled checked and yes, they won with only 4 numbers called!&lt;br /&gt;I think we will see that happen again as soon as someone gets&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;the exact price on TPIR Showcase Showdown again!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tonight's BINGO is going to be off the hook!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;First, the best steel drum band in the land,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Apocalypso is going play at 7pm.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It is FREE and they will have their new CD,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;MicroBurst, for sale. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is a perfect stocking stuffer!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then BINGO starts at 8pm.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;BASS beer is the sponsor tonight.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;YAH!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The first card is still FREE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;but we are asking people to donate 2 cans&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;of food (or $1.00) to The Community&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Food Bank for the second card.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, who will be the team to beat

It wasn't wrinkled like Columbo's, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;in fact it was very crisp. My mother, probably at her wit's end,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;rolled the coat into a ball, put it under a couch cushion and told me to sit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;on the cushion for 10 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;It worked! My coat now looked just like Columbo's!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I bet my mom was overjoyed that the new coat that she just bought me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;looked like it was run over by a truck!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I happily grabbed my coat and magnifying glass (who knows why since&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Columbo didn't have one) and went out into the neighborhood in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;search of crimes. Alas, my boring neighborhood never had a crime&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;to solve but that never stopped me!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;When my friends and I went to New York City in 2006, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Kristin HAD to go to Live with Regis and Kelly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I went with her while Kathy went to the Today Show &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;and Nancy slept in. We didn't have tickets and were the last ones &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;allowed in from the wait list. I would have been sad for Kristin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;if we didn't get in but I would have been okay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Then, they announced the guests. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;One of the guests &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;on Live with Regis and Kelly was &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;PETER FALK!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I couldn't believe my luck! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;We were in the last row but I didn't care!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Here are some photos from that most excellent day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The first is from where Regis grabbed Peter's book off the table and dumped&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;a cup on the floor. I have never seen so many people deal with one broken cup.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The second is from where he was leaving the stage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The last one was when his limo was leaving. He signed autographs for a while.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Of course, I had nothing for him to sign but that was okay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I met one of my childhood heroes that day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;My heart goes out to Peter Falk and his family.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/129041689063316803-200390180041307789?l=miaschnaiblephotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miaschnaiblephotographer.blogspot.com/feeds/200390180041307789/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=129041689063316803&amp;postID=200390180041307789' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/129041689063316803/posts/default/200390180041307789'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/129041689063316803/posts/default/200390180041307789'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miaschnaiblephotographer.blogspot.com/2008/12/peter-falk-may-have-alzheimers-disease.html' title='Peter Falk may have Alzheimer&apos;s Disease'/><author><name>Mia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17467969306717139171</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_spSqBcQKnsE/SUfQ_IDLZ9I/AAAAAAAAADY/tjhK2hnnHh4/s72-c/_MG_9824.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-129041689063316803.post-4499031622771798505</id><published>2008-12-11T14:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T14:56:04.817-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='BINGO'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kappy&apos;s'/><title type='text'>BINGO TONIGHT!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_spSqBcQKnsE/SUGaB53x8bI/AAAAAAAAADA/xk54rd7YOj8/s1600-h/DSC09944.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278669595760259506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_spSqBcQKnsE/SUGaB53x8bI/AAAAAAAAADA/xk54rd7YOj8/s400/DSC09944.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_spSqBcQKnsE/SUGZ2y94p9I/AAAAAAAAAC4/0gtb4ykeSd0/s1600-h/DSC09968.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278669404928255954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_spSqBcQKnsE/SUGZ2y94p9I/AAAAAAAAAC4/0gtb4ykeSd0/s400/DSC09968.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;More Winter BINGO at Kappy's tonight (12/11)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Come join the fun!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kappy's Bar and Sandwich Place&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2190 N.

My friend Beth and I would read our copies of The Guinness World Book of Records and try and figure out which record could we break. Which ones could we do over summer vacation and how hard it would be?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;And more importantly, could we get our parents behind this project? Would they bring us food and water and let us stay up past our bedtime during our attempt? There was a lot of planning on this project. But alas, I never did break a record!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;UNTIL NOW!!!!!!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The last day of The Math, Science, Technology FunFest, we attempted to break the old record of simultaneous launch of rubberband-powered paper airplanes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;2,300 kids of all ages went out to The Tucson Community Center parking lot with our individually numbered airplanes and waited for the countdown.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Would we have enough to break the old record? And what was the old record?&lt;br /&gt;Some airplanes went into orbit a little early but at least 1,800 were launched at the same time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;WE DID IT!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Finally, I am going to be in The Guinness World Book of Records!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;YEAH!!!

Our booth was twice as big as last year and between the Phun Physics Guys (a crowd favorite) and Make Your Own Silly Putty (another favorite). I could not ask for a better location! And to top it off, we were next to the soda bottle rocket guys, which was great if you never looked up. (The rockets would land in my booth from time to time and as your mom says "could poke your eye out!")&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;We teach them that there are 24 frames of film per second of film viewing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Then we do different math problems with them like, if The Chronicles of Narnia is 2 hours and 12 minutes long, how many frames is that?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;ANSWER below-don't cheat, see if you can answer it first.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;The kids make every day of the FunFest "Super Fun!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;They ask terrific questions, are super polite and are just great to be around.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;And I have to admit it that I love when kids come to my booth because they heard it was one of the "good" booths.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span
