we will move to the secret sledding location. With the danger of Skeleton,
filmmakers will brave downhill racin in Fiji Waters Canoes.
In other news, Slamdance¹s
printer in Los Angeles got the programs done at the 11th hour, which
required finding some kind soul to drive them to Park City. Actress
Kathryn Joosten took the challenge. She arrived at 7 AM this morning.
Kathryn played Dolores Landingham on "West Wing" and will
appear as Jenny Romano in the upcoming NBC program "AUSA."
