Last year TAD was a blast. I was quite happy that it was my first real film festival that I went to. At the time I was writing for my own Film Grotto site and it was pretty small but it still felt like Adam treated me like I had a big site and the movies (except for a couple) were a total blast.

I should do that. I was aiming to get to Fantasia again this year (Montreal) but it looks like that may not be happening. :( TIFF is always my most anticipated film event on the calender though.

Plus if you do go to VIFF you have a couple of ringers that can tell you all the tricks to squeezing the most out of the festival... Like don't see any movie at Pacific Cinematique if you can all help it (the seats are a form of medieval torture), or... Only schedule movies at the "Ridge" at the beginning or very end of your day (transit to that theatre is a bee..atch)! I think it only rain on 3 of the 9days I was downtown at VIFF.

Oi. Now I'm looking forward to festival season!

The other years I did fitted as many I could before/after working which was more in the 10-15 range. It's a wild ride, I just wish the Ryerson wasn't so cold!
