Why crazy? One might think public transportation to and fro Park City during Sundance and Salt Lake City (where many Sundance films are being screened) would be plentiful.
One might be wrong.
Actually, there are a couple of good shuttle buses, and I took one of them from PC to SLC. Five bucks. Though I got on wrong one, sort of, and got to venue 20-30 minutes later than I would have. Still plenty early. Besides, there was a crew of geographically lost souls all sitting up front picking the cool driver's brain on how to get places.
Anyway, the shuttles. Last one from SLC back to Park City was the one I was on. He does a loop. And I technically was on the return trip, as that's when he goes by where I needed to get (UU); the other bus went directly there. All means there is no bus back until the morn. But I've got a movie tonight as an early trip to ticket office tomorrow awaiting me, so no go on the SLC stay over.
So ... I get there, pick up ticket, grab a bite at Pi Pizza (those wacky Utes), head back to venue, find my way to my fifth-row seat I bought a few hours earlier (and extended convo with help booth folk at Sundance covering the general lack of transportation options for return trip had me doubting whether I could pull it off), watch the show.
Show ends. Now what? I stand at door asking a bunch of folk if they are going to Park City. No takers. I could take a shuttle, but they only leave from airport. Which is on other side of town, meaning I might not get there before the last shuttle leaves.
So cab it is. No comment on the fare, but so be it. Damn it, Jim, it's Kirk! Totally worth it.
