Nice.

And yeah…something tells me Guy Ritchie could never wash the stink off.

Wow. I’m so jealous, especially about Jack White. A relatively new rock god. And ‘The Weight’ is a fucking awesome song that never gets old. I would’ve teared up, too.

Have you washed your hand yet, Greg?

Autographs are not really my thing. Especially not there. I don’t own a camera, so photos are out.

I’m all about the handshakes.

I’m seeing ‘It might get loud’ tomorrow morning. Can’t wait!

Jimmy Page is god damned amazing, I sympathize with your feelings meeting him. I don’t like Jack White. I like some of U2’s stuff, but right from the start I thought that a grown up man calling himself “The Edge” was ridiculous and kind of pathetic. Not much respect there.

Meeting Jimmy Page would have been a very emotional and memorable experience for me as well though. I would have shared much of your sentiments had I had this experience.

Greg…funny stuff (“There was a pungent odour when Guy walked by me and IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m pretty sure it was the smell of Madonna.”)

However, Reed does bring up a good point; you have a chance of mingling with the stars and you bring nothing to get autographs on? How about photos? Its not difficult to smuggle a small camera around.

Greg, Jay was razzing me this past week because I asked him if he was stoked about having The Goblin Man of Norway selected for The After Dark Film Festival. He was razzing me about my use of the slang word “stoked,” which I noticed you happened to use in your post. So be sure to use the word “stoked” when in the presence of Jay.

I was wondering, Greg. Do you ever get the autographs of the celebrities you shake hands with? It would be pretty cool to have Jimmy Page’s John Hancock on the cover of Led Zep IV. But I guess it would be pretty dorky carrying around a record cover. I guess journalists are supposed to be professional and not ask for autographs?

Posting digital pics from TIFF would be cool, but I can’t imagine you taking photos for some reason.

And yes, it’s “velociraptor.”
