ASCAP MUSIC CAFÉ –SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL January 24th, 2010 STANFIELD GALLERY 751 Main Street, Park City, Utah Words, Images Judith Ecochard It isn’t all movies all the time at Sundance Film Festival. Lucky us, we got to take in the rockin’ and soulful tunes from four bands/artists at the crowded ASCAP MUSIC CAFÉ. PLUS: The venue introduces film makers to musicians, as well as entertaining attendees. After all, musical scores and songs are integral to all movies…and help set the tone, pace and mood of any flick. The first band, the 2 AM CLUB kicked it up with a smashup of party on rock and rap. These five guys currently live in LA--- are signed to RCA… AND put out a really, really amazing show that got the festivities started! Such high energy…no wonder these guys are slim. Next up was the soulful vocalist/songwriter--- and over a million CD s sold- Montreal born musician Sass Jordan , who sang from the heart and rocked the house. Accompanied by Derek Sharp, we think the set was well ...

Von Bardonitz by Andre Wagner January 21st, 2010 Berlin, Germany Words, J. Ecochard IN OUR INBOX: Designer Scouts is a talented group of emerging designers who joined together for a runway show in the hip Alexander Platz 'hood during Berlin's Fashion Week. We couldn't go (we were attending Outdoor retailer in SLC)...but love the creative, unconventional attitude and FUN that this show clearly had. JULIAANDBEN by Rainer Kurzeder Some photos came our way...and the drift is urban, edgy "artistic fashion"...not elegant evening wear waltzing down the runway. IMHO: No doubt the open to the public after party was fantastic... By Katja Hentschel FYI: The press release came in German but the website is in English. ADDeertz by Rainer Kurzeder

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week-Berlin, Germany

Snowbasin Resort, Utah, The biannual demo day that precedes the massive Outdoor Retailer Tradeshow in Salt Lake City---is our version of Disney World. Lots of fresh powdery snow got attendees in the mood to try out the latest in gear and attire...that make snow sports and back country activities FUN! CLIF BARS Fuels The Day We definitely overstayed our alloted one hour to try out Venture Snowboards Zepyhr model...(sorry). NEEDED: More snowboards represented amongst all the skis and snowshoes. Best dressed...this guy got the cameras clicking away in his S.K.HOOP of Scandinavia down fill skirt...with sturdy zips up the sides allowing for freedom of movement. This young company was getting a lot of buzz at the show itself for its genius minis, and knee length winter proof skirts, made from waterproof materials in hot colors and prints. The idea is to wear over jeans, or 'jamas for that added warmth and layered protection. Especially appreciated by gals (or guys ha ha) sitting outd...
