Telluride Day 1

We just came from the brunch for Patrons & Sponsors.  The best ever!  It's atop a hillside with a fantastic view of the mountains.  Catered with local , yummy and healthful food & drinks.  The usual folks were there---Leonard Maltin, Ken Burns, lots of filmmakers and a few actors.  But today we got George Clooney and Tilda Swinton-both of who will be honored at the festival.  Got pix of them both.  Will try to attach pix but have no idea how to do it. . .  Oh----here we are, hanging out w/ George!  I have to go now.  The first film will screen in an hour.  We do not know what it is (secret) and because this is the first time they didn't announce it at the Patron brunch, we think it might be Ides of March.  We think that b/c George said to Michelle (really) that he wanted a nap before the screening.  It's a preview that only Patrons get to attend.  The real festival starts tonight.  Gotta go!

We sat with interesting folks: from film distribution, Virgin Atlantic, and PR.
