Cinescape

Well it's feast or famine with me apparently.  I did pretty well in March as far as posting is concerned, but April was a big blank.  There is a logical explanation for it, some of you will know this already.  I got a second job at the end of March working as a year round employee of the Seattle International Film Fest.  Now don't get excited, I'm just hocking popcorn at the moment.  But I'm hopeful that it will turn in to something more.
That being said, last night was the opening night for the Festival itself.  And it was quite the experience.  Red carpet and all.  I was so overwhelmed by the whole thing, I didn't document it as well as I could have.  But I got a few pictures.

The opening night film was All is By My Side, a Jimi Hendrix biopic, written and directed by John Ridley (who recently won an Oscar for his adaptation of 12 Years a Slave).  Ridley and actress Hayley Atwell (Captain America) were in attendance.  




















After the film screening, the Opening Night Gala was across the way.  And I was way out of my element.  I mean look at this place:
An introvert's nightmare


But there were free snacks, of which I grabbed two and only documented one.  And I'm pretty sure I paid for a drink I didn't have to, but whatever!  Live and learn.

Other then that, the night was pretty much a game of how many Anthropologie items I could pick out in the crowd.  If this was a game of bingo, I would've won.  I was not an exception to this, however.  The majority of my clothes being from Anthro for obvious reason.  And I certainly was the belle of that one corner where I held up the wall for the majority of the 30 minutes I lasted at the party.

It was an experience I've never had in my life, but I will hopefully have more of.  Preferably with someone to drag along with me, who will help me hold up that dang wall.
