Thanks Carsten, you’re the Ben Mulroney to my Tanya Kim. So after getting booted out of the (poorly marked) opening night party VIP line, we had to do the walk of shame down Barrington and back up to the other side of Argyle where we hung out with the sparkly Joe Halifaxs and city councillors. Lost Carsten who was clever enough to figure out how to get in the VIP section without grovelling or promising naughty favours. But I got to wear my new coat and drink beer, so that’s cool. Tonight I’m hanging with late-night users and losers at Strangers with Candy, and with Mary Walsh at her new film, Young Triffie’s been made away with. I’m considering starting a petition to bring back trhe funniest Canadian show since Kids in the Hall, Hatching, Matching and Dispatching. I’ll bring it with me. CBC can thank me later.
