Yep – that about sums up my excitement. Just got the email from the Festival Box Office – I got all twenty of my first picks. I was actually splitting the order with three others, and combined we went forty for forty in first picks!! For those curious, my schedule is as follows… Thursday 9/4$9.99,…
The Waiting
So my envelope containing my TIFF schedule selections has been handed in, nothin’ to do for the next three days but sit back and wait. It’s kind of a nice moment actually…the calm before the storm. In less than a week, I’ll be running all over town, staying up too late, waking up too early,…
