Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Hit the S.B. Film Festival

Well the night arrived and the Red Carpet was laid out! State Street was packed and there were cameras everywhere, including in this one for SBLocal.com. Here's the catch of the Day, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt arrival at the BIFF for 2008.

Angelina visited the ringside Crowds and signed some Photos - the crowd was pretty amicable and friendly, no one crossed the barriers and there were no scenes aside from the women calling out "Brad, Brad" while Angelina did an on camera stint or so.

Angelina was dressed in a Black topped ensemble with a colorful Pink, orange colored print Skirt (see the last photo, click on the continuation link below).
