Hey guys. Just thought I’d share this with you. Since I live like 40 minutes from Toronto, and the Toronto International Film Festival is going on right now… and since that means a bunch of movie website people that i communicate with were going to be in town, I decided to grab a limo for the night and get all of us Movie Web geeks out for a fun evening of just hanging around, drinking, and partying it up.
Those who came along with us Movie Blog people were:
The amazing Jennifer Yamato and Alex from Rotten Tomatoes
The fighter of evil Scott Weinberg of Cinematical
The Always ready to party Alex Billington of Firstshowing
The indomitable Peter Sciretta of Slashfilm
The Omniscient Michael of MoviesOnline
Part of the night we just spent driving around and hanging out, but we were also spent a good part of the night at “The Film Lounge Presented by Variety & AMC” and apparently the AFI, party in Toronto at the W Studio. The hosts were wonderful, the party was kickin, the drinks were flowing, the girls were hot, the stars were there (listed were Jessica Alba, Monica Bellucci, Laura Linney Philip, Seymour Hoffman, Neil Jordan, Beverly Mitchell, Andre Benjamin, Ellen Page, Eric Bana, Josh Brolin, Sarah Polley, Terence Howard, and Tommy Lee Jones).
We had a lot of fun, and I thought, since this is a blog, I’d share some of the pics with you guys:

Seriously guys… the more and more I get to know the other members of the online movie community, the more and more I feel privileged to be one of them. These folks are just so cool, not an ounce of competitiveness in any of them, and we really seem to just enjoy each other’s writing and sites, and always being willing to help each other out. It is a wonderful community and I can honestly say I really like all these guys. Thanks for letting me share the shots with you.
