Day three of the Toronto International Film Festival and Stella Artois had me pretty much teleporting around Toronto to cover the really interesting experiences the TIFF has to offer. The balance between film and parties is good and keeps me in a place where I can experience both sides of the TIFF, the way it was meant to be experienced. It can be kind of exhausting juggling both but it’s nice to know that Stella has my back and treated me to a sumptuous dinner at the Windsor Arms in Celebration of the screening of Jack Goes Boating, starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman. It was a real treat to have dinner with Phillip and we thoroughly enjoyed the 3-course meal prepared by reknowned Chef Craig Hopson from Le Cirque restaurant in New York. The exotic fruit minestrone with praline tortelinis was out of this world! Phillip is a very friendly and sweet gentleman and it was a pleasure meeting him. I’ll never forget his portrayal of Lester Bangs in Almost famous.

Special thanks to Ryan from LiveStyle Entertainment and William from BG&E Productions who were kind enough to furnish me with 2 tickets to the premier of Phillips movie at 1pm. These two fine gents were the ones responsible for the execution and delivery of this supper and all those in attendance have them to thank for making the event classy and ensuring it went smoothly. These two were real pros at pulling an event like this off.

After dinner Braden, Neil and I we headed to Maison Mercer for the LiveStyle Film Lounge event and had a swell time, even though the huge club was full to the gills. Not my scene but hey, it’s TIFF and hanging out with @PrimandPimp is always a 20% in any night.

The next afternoon, I took Casie Stewart to see the screening and the film was a treat. Check the film out when it gets picked up for distribution and released.

Looking forward to more TIFF and taking you along for the ride! Check out more angles on my TIFF adventures at Braden’s blog and at Club Stella Artois.
