I've been busy planning a trip to Toronto or New York for some time now.

I've settled on New York, and I'll be "on the ground" and "on-line" for the whole experience- it should be the biggest contribution I make to this website. I'm well prepared for a great festival and I plan on seeing everything I can.

October 1 is approaching fast and I can't wait. New York is second only to Cannes in terms of prestige in my view. It's my first "real" festival. Calgary and Vancouver were great, but New York? Fuggeddaboutit.

No brainer decision on my part.
