Independent Spirit Awards + Good Friends = Awesome

As you probably know, my super cute friend Heidi is my #1 partner in crime at Sundance. I hate having her so far away because she could be hitting all the hot spots with me in LA. Luckily, she and her mom won a trip to Disneyland, so she was here for the weekend.


It also just happens to be Oscar weekend and yesterday the Independent Spirit Awards were held down at the Santa Monica beach. Heidi and her mom came over for a fun day in the freezing cold sun (yes, you heard that right). This is how we looked at the beginning of the day - around 9:30 a.m. - when the worst thing about the weather was, surprisingly, not rain, only a whole lotta wind.


In addition to Heidi, I also saw some other cool peeps. My adorable friend Shaunie - one of my Sundance boys - volunteered at the show and made sure to come over and give me some love.


Also at the show? My new friend Lindsay who writes the blog called www.iamnotastalker.com. She and her husband, The Grim Cheaper, braved the frigid temperatures and came to see what was going on.


By the end of the day, our entire bodies were a HOT mess. The wind had blown sand in our hair, the sun had burned our faces, and the freezing cold temperature (which was comparable to Sundance, only we weren't exactly dressed for it) had frozen us to the very core. I'm fairly certain I may never be warm again. Still, it was a very fun day - an adventure, to say the least - and I loved having my fave partner in crime by my side. We even got all our faves (again): Jason Ritter, Ben Lyons, Mark Ruffalo, and James Franco. Score!
