Stalking the Jo Bros at Sundance- Tess Berrett

I've never really been one to obsess over celebrities. That being said, when my husband's friends invited us to go to Sundance (which I've never gone to) with them in the hopes of spotting a celebrity, I wasn't too ecstatic until I realized that it would be great for this assignment.

We took the free shuttle from Park City High down to main street and started our search. I knew that even if we didn't see anyone famous, I at least got to see a part of Park City that I'd never seen. As we passed crowds of moviegoers and art students we scanned their faces to see if we recognized any, and we could tell they did the same to us as they passed.

After a while of this we got a bit cold and warmed up by a fire where a hammered old guy told us about a veteran zombie movie. He also told us that Daniel Radcliffe had been a few buildings down just a few minutes earlier, so of course we hustled to where he pointed, but no Harry...

After looking for something to eat and checking out movie posters for a while we came to the Acura display where cars were on exhibit with heaters all around them. Wanting to warm up again, we huddled by the heaters and talked for a bit, disheartened by the fact that we hadn't seen J Beibs yet.

There was a dark alleyway behind a small hotel that lead from the Acura display back to where the restaurant we were looking for was, so we decided to walk through it to grab some dinner. Even though countless people had walked by the balcony of the hotel without looking up at it, for some reason my husband decided to stop and look up at who it was.

Lo and behold, he saw Nick Jonas sitting on the balcony, beer in hand. He told us what he saw and none of us believed him, of course. But when I walked over to look, Joe Jonas (who was smoking a cigar) opened the door and joined his brother outside. We're also pretty sure Kevin poked his head out the door a few times, but we couldn't confirm it was him.We couldn't believe that Logan somehow spotted them in the dark like that.

Of course we couldn't just leave after finally accomplishing our goal of spotting a celebrity, so we stayed by a heater close to where they were and glanced in their direction for about 15 minutes or so. Creepy, I know, but we didn't want to miss anything cool that might happen.

They eventually went back inside and we carried on with our lives. It was a night to be remembered.
