Park City, UT is the home to the Sundance Film Festival. The Egyptian Theater is the largest theater in town, modeled after the same-named theater in Hollywood. Sex, Lies, and Videotape and Reservoir Dogs (and countless other independent films) secured their financial futures at this theater.
Robert Redford originally wanted to open up a ski resort near Park City with the land he had purchased. However, the elevation is below the snow line, so he needed to come up with another scheme. The Sundance (named after his character in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) empire was born.

The go-to studio for multiple tracks (and albums) for Ween, Graphic Sound Studio is a studio run by Greg and Patricia Frey in Ringoes (East Amwell), New Jersey.
"Baby Bitch" (track #7 on Chocolate and Cheese) was recorded at Graphic Sound in a frenzy. Dean and Gene were going through a prolific song-writing phase, and usual drummer Claude Coleman was on tour. Pat Frey filled in on drums for "Baby Bitch" and the song was done by the second take.
Ween's 2003 live album All Request Live for Chocodog Records was also done at Graphic Sound Studio, as well as numerous additional tracks and song portions throughout the years.
