Banff Mountain Film Festival

We went to the coolest event last night - the Banff Mountain Film Festival Tour was at the Moolah Theater in St. Louis. Six of the award winning films from the film festival in Banff, Canada were featured - all of which focus on adventure, nature, environment, outdoor challenges and mountain beauty. We saw films about rockclimbing, mountain biking, kayaking, BASE jumping and skiing - we all walked out with a major adrenaline rush even though we were only watching other people doing things we love to do - well, the whole BASE jumping thing is still yet to be experienced :) One of the highlights was the kayaking film, a French film called "In-flux." It started out on Reunion Island . . . Chris and I were freaking out and thinking of Britt the whole time. Anyway, it was a totally thrilling night and I highly recommend that everyone try to go when next years films tour.

Don't worry, Chris told me about your blog and I stalked as soon as possible! I am glad to hear the film festival was cool, those people are nuts! I am pretty sure you guys are way more adventurous than us which means you have far more to blog about. You ran a marathon, we are going to have to talk about that!
