We stopped in Roy to visit Jacqui's Grandma. We got to see her about an hour before she passed away at 94 years old, which Jacqui was very grateful for.
We had about a half hour in Roy before we had to leave for Park City so we decided to have a little bit of fun. We decided to go and get a 'get well soon' balloon, and take it to Jacqui's sister Heidi at school. Heidi had a little cold, and we wanted her to know that we care about her and hope she gets feeling better. There is no better way to let someone know than by taking them a balloon to High School, and let them carry it around. We dropped the balloon off at the office, and left before Heidi saw us. We know that she wasn't embarrassed and that she really appreciated it.
We stopped for a quick lunch at Wendy's and then were on our way! The drive there was really nice...the sun was shining, we had an iPod full of music, and we were eating frosty's.

Entering Parleys Canyon! Almost there!
We caught our first bus, and it took us in a complete loop back to where we started...which is not where we wanted to go. So we caught another bus that took us to Main Street where all of the action was happening.
Our first stop of the afternoon was to Music Cafe. We walked in after Corey, and the lady at the door asked to see our 'credentials'...We had no idea what we were supposed to show this lady, and if we even had any 'credentials' in our posession. We almost pulled out our resumes but unfortunately did not have them on us. Then the other lady standing at the door, Corey's mom (who also volunteers), told the first lady that it was okay and to let us in.
The Music Cafe was a little room with a stage, and it was pretty packed with people. We were some of the lucky few to be allowed in, especially since we didn't have 'credentials'.
The first artist that performed at the Music Cafe was St. Vincent. This girl had a very unique sound, and we all really enjoyed her.

The next artists to perform were the Secret Sister's. They were these two girls that were absolutely adorable. They had such a unique sound, and they were both really good. They switched off playing the guitar and they both sang. They were really fun to watch, and were really funny as well. We even ran into these girls back in the green room after their set.

We decided to stay for the third and last artist, because Jacqui and I recognized his name. Matt Nathanson. The only song of his that we really knew was Come on Get Higher...Corey hadn't heard it though, but I'm pretty sure that in the end he was glad he got to hear Scott Nathanson, or Nathan Scott perform. My (Lindsay) friend Amy really loves Matt Nathanson, so I was excited to tell her that we were at his concert. I was a good friend though and called her so that she could listen while he sang his hit song. It was funny because during the concert he sang the song Jesse's Girl, and he asked for crowd participation. Corey and I (Lindsay) knew the words to the song, and we were singing along, but Jacqui somehow didn't know the song. After the song was over, one of the ladies that was standing in front of us turned around and said to me, "You are just too young to know this song!" Which was silly because Corey and I had been singing along the whole time.

Another fun thing about the Music Cafe was that we got free water bottles. Not just your average plastic water bottle, but a nice, cute light green Nalgene one...it even has the Sundance logo on it! They are pretty awesome.
When we left the Music Cafe we were all ready to go eat dinner. We went to a mexican restaurant that Corey found out about called El Chubasco (I think). It was really good food for a really good price. Supposedly it was named Best Salsa Bar in Utah! Which is totally understandable because they had a lot of different options for salsa, ranked in hotness by a picture of 1-4 peppers.
After dinner we went and got our car and drove over to a new parking lot so that we could visit New Frontier. New Frontier had a few different art exhibits/movies/other artsy stuff. There were a lot of really cool things to look at. James Franco had a small exhibit there, a movie he made using clips from the TV show Three's Company. He had voiced over all of the characters, and it was really funny! I'm glad that we got to see it, because I had been wanting to! There was also a 3-d movie that left us all in a trance...we were pretty sure we got hypnotized, it was so good! There was a cool thing using smoke and butterflies (hard to explain, but it was neat), and there was a cool thing that was reflecting images onto cd's. It was really fun to walk around and look at the different things and watch the different movies.
When we left New Frontier we warmed our hands by a fire outside of the building. Surrounding the fire was a lot of little crystals. We each took a crystal as a souvineer and memory of our trip to Sundance '11.
We walked back to our car and said goodbye to Sundance. It was the perfect get away, and we even got to see that Maverick one last time before we left town.
