2013 Oscar nominated short films: animated

                             "Fresh Guacamole"

My girlfriend and I headed to Fort Collins this weekend to watch the Oscar nominated animated shorts at the Lyric Cafe. The cost wound up being $12 for both of us, tickets only, but I thought that was a low price to pay to look down at everyone at our bosses' party who hadn't seen them.

Just kidding. I don't talk to people less pretentious than I pretend to be.

Banff Mountain Film Festival comes to Laramie

                            "Crossing the Ice"


The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour will stop in Laramie Wednesday and Thursday at 7 p.m. The high profile festival, which has visited the University of Wyoming since 1999, focuses on mountain sports and culture while also looking at related topics like global warming. Films range in length as well and each tour date, and even screening night, are specially selected from all of the films to fit the interests of each stop.


The center piece of the festival is "Crossing the Ice" which won the grand prize and people's choice awards at the festival's opening.
