Cosco Busan Update:

In all honesty, we can't call ourselves the biggest soccer-phile out there. We don't really follow the sport when it's not the World Cup, although we do occasionally pay somewhat attention to what's going on in the World of Futbol. Still, we’ve always rooted for soccer to become big here in the States. We played it as children, played it again as adults, and love the sport and the passion that it brings. Yesterday, we couldn't have been happier about how into the game everyone was. The day had a Big Event feel to it, like a Bay To Breakers or Superbowl Sunday vibe. It felt like half the city was either on their way to Dolores Park or to North Beach. So naturally, we went to Belden Place. Why not? We were rooting for les Bleus and the idea of being surrounded by people screaming "Sacre Bleu" or "Zizou!" with non-ironic French accents warmed the cockles of our heart. And we got what we wanted, other than a French victory, of course. The alley way was jam packed with people, we heard smattering of French and Italian everywhere, and we even got to hear people sing "La Marseillaise." If only it were WWII and in black & white, it would have been just like Casablanca.

So we finally got a chance to use our incredibly expensive film school education this weekend, putting our NYU Baseball tee on and hitting two IndieFest screenings in one day. And it wasn't just any day -- it was Superbowl Sunday. Needless to say, the fellow film fans in the seats could only be described as die-hard.
