Wow, Toronto was frickin' amazing. I seriously think it's the best vacation I've ever taken. I've been some awesome places in my life, but whereas I usually had to adhere to someone else's schedule on those trips, this was a vacation just for me. Also, nice to meet (deep breath) Ryan, Victor, Missy, Jason, baaab, Charles, Froilan, Josh, Jim, Scott, Mike, Dan, Ken, Girish, plus my old pal Lee and my moviegoing buds Steve and Kevin. Wish I could've met up with Theo, Michael and Noel at some point- maybe next year?

Again: jealous, jealous, jealous!
I gotta go to a festival one of these days. Just to see movies like this BEFORE getting my opinion shaped by other peoples' thoughts on them.
Hey, Paul--It was nice to meet, and I'm glad you had a great time. You'll have to do it again next year.
It was pretty cool, wasn't it? Don't know if I'll ever get to go again (definitely not to the extent that I did anyway), but the experience was worth it. Thanks for being my Movie Buddy (TM)... it helped having someone to jaw at and get jawed at by... :-)
