Oh my goodness this has been a crazy 3 days.  I’m still in my PJ’s, recovering from the last few nights and saving up my energy for tonight’s festivities.  Here’s the photos I’ve taken and a recap of what I’ve been up to so far this TIFF.

Thursday was the Stella Artois party at the Drake SkyYard.  Met up with Casie and Much VJ hopeful Brock McLaughlin.  We got inside and there were a bunch of TO bloggers already there, Corey, Sean, Emma.  My bro & his gf ended up coming by and then Bucky, Matt, Randall from Much.  After the Stella launch we headed back to the beach to change and ended up hooking up with Rhianne & Carri and stayed in the East end for the rest of the evening.  Check out Sean‘s video of the event.

Friday was the Vitamin Water Backyard opening and Lauren gave me a VIP invite (thanks lady!)  Tons of social media/bloggers out and got to meet some new people and see some friends.  Love the backyard area and party tent.  There was plenty of Vitamin water to drink and they made some pretty nifty cocktails with the Vitamin Water & Vodka – I drank the pink one all evening Michael had an extra ticket to the premier of Stone starring Robert DeNiro, Edward Norton, Milla Jovovich & Frances Conroy.  It was a really good movie and the cast had a Q&A afterwards.  Then I headed over to Tattoo with some new friends Jenn, Brock, Courtney & met up with Curtis Santiago.  Slash was the guest of honour at Tattoo and I was hanging with my Dwight, the DJ in the booth right beside him.  I was 2 feet away but wasn’t able to meet him.  Too bad.

Love this girl.  Working hard.

Last night I went back to the Vitamin Water Backyard for The Conspirator after party.  Got to meet and chat with Justin Long – he was really nice but likes to take weird photos.  Afterwards went to the Soho House and met Dominic Cooper – but didn’t know it was him – and the crew behind the TIFF film Janie Jones.  After that I headed home and crashed.  Got a few places to go to tonight but am not sure if I’m gonna go out or not.

Have you guys been out at TIFF?  Seen anyone famous?

He really likes me….

Lots of photos in this post.

Got up late the last day and had to pack and get out of our loft by 11:00am.  We said goodbye to Jonathan and headed out to find some breakfast before the bands started.  Ate at the Beaver & Bulldog, which was pretty good and we all drank tons of coffee to try and get our lives back together.

After breakfast we made a pit stop at Zellers to get wellies and ended up staying there for about an hour trying things on.  Casie & Lauren got kids pajamas superhero costumes to wear and they looked hilarious.

Got to Wakecock Wakestock just in time for the shuttle to take us in.  So happy we didn’t have to walk the whole way.  It was pretty far and we were a little hung.  Love the VIP treatment.

First band we saw was called The Katacombs – a rockabilly/punk band out of Barrie and they were pretty good.  The bass player played a stand up bass and he was killing it. I’ve never really listened to much rockabilly music but I think I’m going to check out some more.

After a few songs we went over to check out the Wakeboarding finals.  These guys were crazy!  There were two walls – one higher then the other – and they were doing tricks and jumping on and off them.  I know nothing about Wakeboarding so I can’t tell you what they did, but it looked cool.  I really wanted to try it out this weekend, but maybe next year.

We walked around to check out what else was going on and Virgin Mobile had one of those carnival games where you hit something with a big hammer and see how strong you are.  I think Raymi was the strongest hitter out of all of us.  Apparently I’m a weakling, but I looked good doing it

One of my favourite girls, Tiffany was working the Virgin Mobile game so we got to hang with her and get some sunglasses.  She’s such a sweetheart and I really need to see more of her.  We went and checked out the Sprite Splash Mob rope swing into the water.  They wanted us to try it out but there was no way any of us were going to get wet and jump in a cold lake.  Casie’s friends took the plunge and it looked like a lot of fun.  Those boys were brave!

Got back to the stage in time to see our new friends Rebel Emergency play.  There was a smaller crowd on Sunday due to the cold, rainy weather but we danced and took a ton of pics anyway.  The band was all smiles as soon as they recognized us.  We definitely started the party on Sunday.

After Rebel Emergency was Hollerado and then my new favourite artist KO.  I have wanted to see him perform since I heard the Capable single on the radio and he didn’t disappoint.  The drummer & bass player from Rebel Emergency played with him and I was really impressed with his voice and live show.  I’ll hopefully have an interview with him to post up in the next couple of weeks.  Until then check out his Myspace page for videos/music.  I’m lovin Capable & Kurt Cobain (which is below).

I had the best time going to Wakestock with Casie, Raymi & Lauren.  It was a great experience and thank you so much to Jonathan, Zeke, Alison, Lawrence and the rest of the Wakestock team for taking care of us.  I can’t wait to come up next year and hopefully we can bring some of you guys!

Summer Concert Season is in full swing!  I’m off to Lilith Fair this afternoon with Casie and then August 6-8 I’ll be up in Collingwood for Wakestock Canada!

Gonna hook up with three of my favourite blog girls Raymi the Minx, Casie Stewart & Lauren O’Nizzle and we’ll be partying it up with a weekend of Babes, Beers & Bikinis and you should come too!

It’s gonna be an awesome weekend and if you’re gonna come out, let us know!

Yesterday was Hail The Villain‘s debut album release for Population: Declining and they played at MOD. I’m too old for the audience so I got to sit behind the scenes and watch with Casie and the other girlfriends of the band.  It was so awesome to see them live and Bryan requested DWW Your Man as the video they wanted to see.

I kinda saved the day because Sarah Taylor asked for a Villain shirt on air and luckily I had brought the two brand new ones Chad gave to me.  Joe thought it was a shirt from their TM Jawsh and they said thanks to him on air.  Oh well, there’s a glimpse of me on camera giving the shirt to Joe.  haha.

It was Casie’s first time seeing them live and i always love when new people see them.  HTV is an amazing live band and I got their Runaway performance on video (sounds not that great).  Make sure you check out the MOD site for their interview, music video and live performance of Take Back The Fear.  For the rest of the photos check my Picasa.

After MOD Casie and I went for drinks at the Firkin with Wynn – he’s the best – and then we headed to the Sailor Jerry Rum party at Lavish & Squalor’s upstairs.  There’s nothing better than going to a cool party where they give you drink tickets and yummy food.  It was the Toronto screening of the Sailor Jerry movie and a totally different mix of people that I hadn’t met before.  I finally got to meet Anna Von from Pink Mafia, which was pretty cool.  I took a terrible photo of us, so it’s not getting posted.  She’s built a great company and brand and I’d love to get more involved with them.

Then we headed to the Rivoli to meet up with Chad and his label & management people.  My sis was finished filming for the day and was there, so we stayed for a drink and then we called it a night.  I was so ready for bed by the time we got in and crashed right away.

I got two packages full of goodies today from my new friends at The Shopping Channel.  They sent the Summer Beauty Bag which has full and samples sizes of new skin, hair care, cosmetic & spa stuff in a nice big tote bag that will be perfect for the beach.  They also sent me their new line of hair care from Living Proof.  I love new things and I can’t wait to give myself some pampering while Chad’s away this weekend.

Tonight I was invited to an exclusive preview & launch party for Spice Safar by a company that I had never heard of before called ReiCura.  I was pretty excited because in their email it said that people in their office are big followers of my blog and they wanted to invite me as their guest.  I went with Casie, who got the same letter, and when we went in they handed us a menu with $15 martinis & $18 platters and asked if we’d like to start a tab.  I was totally turned off by that and we left right away.  If anyone wants me to come and write about their event then it has to be worth my while.  It was really lame of the company to trick us like that, and especially sending a form letter that says they read my site.  I doubt they do.

We randomly bumped into Sean Ward on the corner of King & Spadina and went to meet the group at #RandomTO.  It was my very first time going to one of them and we all crowded upstairs at Hey Lucy for $4 martinis.  Ms Currybomb showed up and I met Lauren O’Nizzle in person.  She’s another cute little blonde girl blogger.  Such a babe and she’s got the sweet gig of blogging for MuchMusic & the MMVA’s.  Check her out and vote up so she can interview the celebs on the red carpet.

Home for the night now and made a milkshake.  Gotta get some work done and catch up on my Glee.  I’ve ignored everything online about it so I can be surprised.
