I'm not the Entertainment Reporter-type, so don't hold me accountable for all the particulars.  But while SXSW Film is something for our city to be very proud of, I'm partial to Sundance.  Its setting in the Utah mountains is unbelievable (unless you hate the cold).  And it has a Hollywood-like energy to it.

But it's a good thing for the locals that Austin restaurants near the venues don't do what they do in Park City:  go to fixed menus and jack up their prices.  My wife and I decided to splurge on our only visit there a couple years ago.  (Not like we had a choice unless we wanted McDonalds.)  Our dinner for two cost more than her plane ticket!  But the food as outstanding and the service even better.

Anyone experienced both and have a preference?
