We all have that one friend. You know, the one who finds those really good links and websites and sends them our way. My buddy, Andrew, is definitely that guy for me.

I hope you enjoy the latest video from my Consider This series. I’ll try to keep these coming.
There was a rushed feel at first. Our final shift had ended at the Racquet Club and other volunteers were quickly in the process of transforming our venue into the site of the Sundance Film Festival Awards. Before that took place though, the Racquet Club Team B had a few moments to gather in the […]

The is the second of four written blog entries will all be Sundance related, but I’ll return to my standard variety of articles in a few […]
