[CDATA[The much adored Toronto International Film Festival is a whirlwind of 9 a.m. screenings, 3 a.m. parties, and schmoozing at every hour in between.

Those people should probably avoid reading on. This is not a guide to films (you can find that here); this is a guide to the most buzzworthy TIFF parties.

Power was knocked out in several areas, including New Orleans, and water began splashing over the top of several of the city's levees. ]]
