Palm Springs Film Festival 2009

January 2009 Film Festival

Steve got tickets from work to attend the Palm Springs film festival. He attended a few years back but I was not able to go with him. It is a Tux event so Steve already had a tux and of course was pulling everything I owned in the closet to find something to wear to the gala. After hours of trying on stuff from the closet I found this one dress. When we drove up there was lots of cars and people off to the side waiting for stars to sign autographs. Dakota Fanning was right next to the car signing autographs but I couldn't get my camera to work quick enough. Once we stepped out of the car people would look at you to see if you were anyone of importance or a star. They had two red carpet lines. One for the stars and one for the guests. As we were walking up the red guest carpet Ron Howard was walking down the REAL red carpet. He is a very nice man. He would shake hands and talk to people. When we got in it was a huge room with lots of tables with numbers on them. We had to find the table with our number. It was not to far from the front. We had a table that was a few tables over from Ron Howard, Clint Eastwood, Donald Sutherland. They would walk right by us to get to the stage. Again to slow on the camera draw. :( It was a fun night and I felt like Cinderella.
