tiff 08


This week is the Toronto International Film Festival. It kicked off thursday night, and stars have been rolling down the red carpet on Queen st Ever since. Me & my friend decided to go check it out last night, considering it was a friday night & we had no other plans.

After school, we took the GO bus from our little town into Union station & subwayed it to Queen Street... We didn't really know what to expect, nor were we very educated on what was going on. We went to the AMC (which is this ginormous movie theatre) and attepmted to get rush tickets to see "Me and Orson Welles" the film Zac Efron was in. Unfortunately, there was some sort of rumor running around saying that Mr. Efron himself would be attending the film, so the tickets were sold out before we even got there.

We kept trekking, exploring downtown, right in the middle of the chaos. We did some shopping (mostly at Urban outfitters & the balck market, I'm a complete sucker for those stores) and we had some thai inspired dinner. The weather man was calling for rain, but luckilly that held off until we got home.

After dinner, we checked out the etalk festival party which was just buzzing with commotion. neither of us cared enough to actually weave our way through the mob of people... the scene too reminicant of a certian Jonas Brothers fiasco just 3 months ago. Standing on our tippy toes looking from afar we DID manage to get a short glimpse of Ellen Page & someone who looked an awful lot like Brad Pitt... Ohh and we saw Ben Mulroney... but he hardly counts as anyone other than the former prime minister's rebelious son. *scoff*

Oh and we tried to get into the etalk party, but some big security guy said we needed wristbands... and to be at least 3 years older... Oh well.

So that was my friday night... not overly exciting, but not dull enough to complain about any monotonity... is monotonity a word? who knows. Kay, well I'm going to go write some stuff about some things in my new story (YES i started a new one... hopefully I remember the others as well)
