Tiff Wrap Up

I am still trying to recover from a busy 10 day of the Toronto International Film Festival. 5 Nights were spent at Roy Thompson Hall volunteering with my "Entourage" team.

This is the wrap of the rest of the 10 days.

Parties - I know you want to know. I didn't go to many.

1. Reelworld Indie Film Lounge at the Pilot Tavern

2. My own little Tuff Subway Screening Party

3. Wift - women in film and television party at the Bata Shoe Museum

4. The Canadian Black Film Festival Launch

5. Tuff - Toronto Urban Film Festival Awards

6. TIFF - Volunteer Party.

I walked into the Cole party or a whole 5 minutes. I stood outside the In Style Party and saw the guests arrive.. but that's about in on the party front.

and I am sure there must have been a few others that I can't remember at the moment.

I do this list because I will probably forget by next year. It all becomes a blur after a while.

The nicest person that I got to talk to was Sarah Ferguson. She shook all of the hands of a few of my Entourage team and said "you must be exhausted" I said "does it show" and she replied "no I am projecting" I said "I feel your pain" and she laughed. She was very gracious.

I was able to see Q&A's of Colin Farrell's and Edward Norton's films. I love Colin Farrell he is so cool.

and I did some eating and chilling at the Windsor Arms, Four Seasons, Park Hyatt and One.

I just missed seeing Bono who was at the Elgin but I was on Queen and he was on Yonge street. I also saw the crowd of people snapping photos of the band going into the Hazelton Hotel. That would have made my Tiff if I would have seen Bono up close but at least I did in the 80's when I saw U2 at Ryerson theatre and then again at Massey Hall so I guess I am ok with that.

I got to see some of the hottest actors so I am good for the year. Who knows what I will be doing next year.....
