The Jetthead’s Guide to the 2010 Sundance Film Festival

…Or, Stewdance, as my online KStew friends are calling it, because Kristen Stewart has two films at the festival, Welcome to the Rileys, and, of course, The Runaways.

This weekend is going to be insane, but unfortunately, I am going to be MIA for most of it. Today is my husband’s birthday, and this is his birthday weekend. (I know, right? Who  has a birthday during Stewdance, for crying out loud?) So, for me, this weekend will involve cleaning, shaving my legs, and a Rush tribute band, instead of blogging about my other true love, Joan Jett.

But I wouldn’t leave you high and dry during such an exciting event. Below is a list of people and websites who will have all the cool deets as they unfold. (I steal all my stuff from them anyway.) All of them support Joan and The Runaways and are excited for the movie. I’ll do a roundup post next week with the highlights. I’ll also add the Harry O’s show details to the concert archive.

1. @larry411.  Larry Richman is an independent film EXPERT who is attending the festival AND the Joan Jett show at Harry O’s on Saturday. He will be tweeting about it all weekend, and is VERY excited about The Runaways. He doesn’t believe in spoilers, so you won’t have to worry about him giving out too much information.

2. @kstewartnews. Three people are covering Sundance for their followers and will have good information.

3. @kstewadmirer and @kstewfangirl run the Kristen Stewart Online website.

4. @KStewDevotee is one of the people who run a VERY funny Kristen Stewart blog, According To My Sources.

5. @sundancefest: The official twitter of the Sundance Film Festival

6. @HarryOsLive: The official twitter for Harry O’s, where Joan is playing on Saturday.

7. The Official Joan Jett message board: Home base for Jettheads. It’s the most popular place for Jettheads to share information with each other. The “Naked” forum is for general Joan Jett discussions. (It’s named after a song, which, unfortunately, isn’t as dirty as it sounds. :D)

Are there any other sites I should mention? Post them in the comments below.
