c'est dommage, mais je ne veux pas manquer le fest
so, just now, i got off the phone with one of my editors. he had a very intriguing proposal: did i want to go to las vegas to interview celine dion?
pardon?
as in, a paid trip on sony's dime, to chat with celine about...i dunno, something. the details hadn't yet been figured out, and the trip not exactly confirmed, but -- in his infinite kindness -- he thought of me, since freelancers rarely, if ever, get free trips anywhere, let alone Sin City. but, alas, even as the words were falling from his lips, i knew it wasn't gonna happen. he knew it, too, because halfway through the pitch he realized the proposed interview dates fall smack dab in the middle of TIFF...and he knows i don't miss TIFF for anything. like, ever.
not for vegas.
and not for celine.
foolish? perhaps. but, really, it's not like i have a burning desire to talk to celine, however pleasant she might be. (now, had it been a free trip to L.A. for a tattoo from kat, or a weekend in vancouver to hike with evangeline lilly, or dinner at oprah's, maybe i would have thought twice.) besides, i've already purchased my TIFF tickets, moviepie eric is en route to toronto from L.A. this year, and missing the festival would be blasphemous on so many levels.
à plus tard...

Over on YouTube, there's a video called Miss M Taking a Bath. Tell TVG that if they hold that Vegas ticket until February, you'd like to talk with Celine's replacement.
it wasn't for TVG, but i'm intrigued by your somewhat cryptic post. ;-)
Dude, that's too bad! I mean, TIFF rocks, that's for sure... but who wouldn't grab a chance to talk to Celine? I'm not an avid fan, but I've been busted staring at the TV, transfixed by her Chrysler commercials. I would have gone to see her last time I was in Vegas on a work-related trip, but the only tix available were $250. :(
really?
i don't think it's too bad at all. i mean, sure, a free trip is always nice, but TIFF trumps it easily. :-)
