Our halfway pit stop during our road trip
Not exactly our first choice for housing, but hey - it was free (the festival put us up there). Even though the smokey lobby made us feel a little sick the first day, we adjusted quickly. Every night we were at the slot machines right next to all the smoking old ladies (penny slots rule!).
(Yes, we did see the free Hoover Dam movie...)
Boulder City is a small town (Shana and I pretty much knew our way around after our first day there), but the community seems to be very dedicated in supporting the arts. Unlike some film festivals, where most of the audience consists of other filmmakers, most of the audience here were locals. It was very fun!
(Notice the sign... You know - cuz they sell leather...)
(also the film festival hq - see the red carpet?!)
aka "The Most Expensive Tea & Snacks I've Ever Had"
Our last full day there, we decided to take a trip to Vegas. Actually, our plan was to go see the Hoover Dam (we were inspired by the free movie), hence the dress for heavy winds. As soon as we got in the car, though, we changed our minds and headed to Vegas instead.
As you will notice, this is the only picture of us in Vegas with the sun out. That's because after we took this picture, Shana and I got sidetracked with the penny slot machines. When we finally emerged, it was night.
