Me and a friend somehow managed to sneak into the VIP gala dinner and event for the opening of the ROM's Michael Lee-Chin Crystal. I met some of the most famous people of my life there. Here's a list of some of the people I met in person:
There were also many performers I saw at the concert, namely: Jann Arden, Jean Paul, Eva Avila, Isabel Bayrakdarin, Deborad Cox, K'naan, Leahy, Natalie McMaster, Alexandria Maillot, M'Girl, Sharon Riley & the Faith Chorale, and Dione Taylor. I watched them all at eye level from the bleachers and about 40 feet away.
In addition, there was plenty of drinks and finger foods going around. I enjoyed them greatly, as I toured the new extension for about an hour; the first group to do so. I'm certain, that I'm the first member of the general public to step in many areas of the building, and what a building it is! All in all, it was definitely an experience of a lifetime.
PS: Just remembered, I got on CityTV also. Maybe you'll see me?
