At TIFF, you buy tickets and MAYBE you get them, maybe you don't.<BR/><BR/>I wound up getting only 18 of the 29 tickets I requested, so I have a whole lot of rescheduling to do today...Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13827246920952240232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11999615.post-47933419793957275182008-09-01T09:53:00.000-07:002008-09-01T09:53:00.000-07:00I know what you mean about being exhausted by the ...I know what you mean about being exhausted by the time the fest actually starts. That's how I felt this year with SIFF... the fest program is published two weeks before the fest. You frantically pore through the listings. Make a list. Make a shorter list. Cross things out. Make another list. Finalize most of your picks. Get the tickets. Then there is still at least a week until it starts. And our fest is THREE AND A HALF WEEKS LONG. <BR/><BR/>But I still love it. I tend to have most momentum at the beginning and the last weekend (when I panic that it will soon be over).Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738949094361039874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11999615.post-90550039727470535102008-09-01T09:02:00.000-07:002008-09-01T09:02:00.000-07:00Oh, there's definitely a surge of excitement once ...Oh, there's definitely a surge of excitement once the fest gets underway, so I look forward to that.<BR/><BR/>And I agree with you about running into TIFF buddies each year -- just today, while making new friends in the pick-up line (no pun intended ;-)), I talked about how you meet folks during the fest, then they disappear for a year, then they inevitably return the following September.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13827246920952240232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11999615.post-22378867242321170202008-09-01T07:18:00.000-07:002008-09-01T07:18:00.000-07:00I hope once the festival starts Vicki..energy will...I hope once the festival starts Vicki..energy will resume! I'm getting pretty excited and am heading to TO this Thursday morning. I was thinking last night how "unrelaxing" this "vacation" is for me and how exhausted I'll be when I get back. But this is my 6th festival and I've made new friends each year, so my excitement and ability to gear up is now helped by excitement to see my film buds.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024159316185988949noreply@blogger.com
