My girlfriend, Marianne, and I have been talking about going to the Festival for years now and it just never worked out...until now....we fiiiinally went!!! For a celebrity stalker wannabe like myself, let me just say....IT WAS HEAVEN! It was sooo exciting and we had such a good time. It was everything I hoped for and more...the red carpet, the stalkarazzi, the limos, the crazy people behind barricades standing across the street from the theatre screaming the stars' names...AND I ACTUALLY SAW CELEBS...A-LIST ONES EVEN!!
We had tickets to see the movie "Bobby" (when I learn how to set up links I'll link you to it) at Roy Thomson Hall last night at 6:30. When we lined up we were right along the wall of the Hall and there were large windows with wide ledges so of course I stood up there trying to get glimpses of people as they pulled up just ahead of us and got out of the limos. The first person I see get out and "work the crowd" is Christian Slater (I think my screaming out "OMG it's Christian Slater" may have embarrassed Marianne just a little.), then Emilio Estevez a few minutes later. I didn't get pictures of Emilio outside, the line started moving, we had to go in.

We then found a great vantage point to see them as they came in to the theatre and we didn't move until the last person was in and the movie was ready to start. We weren't right at the front by any means so let me just say how grateful I am for being tall, having long arms and the swivel screen on my camera was a dream! We ended up also seeing Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, William H. Macy, Nick Cannon, Joshua Jackson and Sharon Stone....amazing, so much fun!!!
Emilio was the writer and director of the movie so he introduced everyone and we didn't realize it until after but they all sat and watched the movie. They were seated almost below us. The movie was excellent (should be for 40 bucks eh Mare?).

After our movie finished a Sandra Bullock one was supposed to start at 9:30 so we tried to hang out to see more people come in for that one but we finally got caught and had to leave. We then became part of the crazy people across the street and saw Sandra Bullock and Sigourney Weaver. What a blast...we certainly learned a lot last night about how the festival works. We are so ready for next year!!!
