Ogden truly the best place for a grassroots Sundance experience

The annual three-ring spectacle that is the Sundance Film Festival is under way, and we all know what THAT means.

Avoid. Park. City.

Seriously. Avoid it like the plague. Avoid it like a rush-hour stretch of Interstate 15 through Utah County. Avoid it like a fellow ward member in the grocery store on a Sunday afternoon.

Mark my words, people: Nothing good can ever come of a trip to Colorado's westernmost city in mid-to-late January.
