For the past few years, it has been my tradition to watch the Day One Press Conference. Unless I had classes, I always watched it live—it made me feel as if I was there, finally getting the chance to be in Park City for the entire Fest.

This year? I hoped to be watching it live in my lodging (or in my wildest dreams, be at the conference), but neither happened because I was in training. But, I was in Park City, and I’m here for the whole Fest, and I’m volunteering. All in all, I say that’s pretty damn great.

So, while I’m eating my dinner tonight, I’m watching the conference. Naturally, I’m just as excited as always.
