Get a second Life.

Cinematical (link to the right) reported this nougget for those of you not heading off to Sundance:
"Sundance and YouTube Team Up for Some Monster Blogging

I'm sure you're probably already aware of that online virtual world called Second Life, and how the Sundance Channel has created a little island within Second Life in an attempt to bring indie fanatics from around the world together in one spot for screenings, interviews, parties and extra special exclusives. Recently, the Sundance Island officially opened up shop with a free screening of the buzzed-about flick Four Eyed Monsters, with directors Arin Crumley and Susan Buice on hand to answer questions afterwards.

Since things worked so well, Crumley and Buice have been asked to travel to Sundance to shoot daily videos which will be broadcast through YouTube as part of a collaboration (their first) with the Sundance Channel. Like Cinematical (which should be your first source for all things Sundance), the two filmmakers will skip around town interviewing filmmakers, attending panels, parties and (I imagine) having a blast, all the while providing us with the kind of uninhibited creativity they're known for.

And, for a sneak peak at what they have in store for us, Cinematical exclusively brings you their first official Sundance video -- essentially, an introduction to what lies ahead. Enjoy!"

Okay, it's not the same thing, but it's better than not knowing what's happening. Note that if you go to the actual cinematical post here, there's a lot of useful links in the text that didn't transfer during my cut and past.
