Hi it's Heidi Gress and Anne Cummings-Anderson here at aperture and we want to say thank you to everyone who came out and supported the local community at the first ever ‘Locals Take Back’ event at the Sidecar January 22nd, 2009. If you were there then you know we were partying shoulder to shoulder all night long and showed that locals know how to ring it in just as good if not better than those Sundancers that bombard the city all week long. Now, we love the Sundance Film Festival, but we can't forget that it is the local community, the waiter, the taxi driver, the concierge, that makes having a grand event such as this a reality. With that said, we have decided for those of you who were pushed into a corner and couldn't see the fashion of our 4 talented designers or those who arrived late and didn't get a locals swag bag that we would give you a little taste of what you missed.
Oh, and these are some very cool individuals that we must recognize for all their help and just being some of the best people ever: Morgan Mann, Mike Wong, Conner Watts, Stevie Bre Draper, DJ LC Dub, Michael and Steven Stong, Heatherlee Benson, Patrick Martin, Parker Gress, Sean Anderson, Melinda Gardner, Josh Blumental, Modjeh Sakaki, and Jenna.
