TIFF Exclusive: Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist



Last Saturday night my friend Jess (pictured above in the black) and I attended the after party for the TIFF gala screening of Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist, the latest Michael Cera film. The quirky teen romance film has been getting rave reviews and comes out nationwide in October.





The after party was tons of fun as it was full of the young cast members who enjoyed dancing to the classic rock & indie pop music that was appropriately suited to the theme of the movie and the venue of the bash, Tattoo Rock Parlour.



Colour coated candy lined the bar and typical teenage food was served, including mini burgers, pizza, chicken quesadilas, mac & cheese, chinese food in take out boxes and chocolate covered strawberries for dessert.



Rock star sunglasses and headphones were provided for photo ops and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, especially the adults who were all over the cute & scrawny Michael Cera. I was hoping to get a chance to talk to him as I did with the charming Jason Reitman, director of such fantastic films as Juno and Thank You for Smoking.




I also chatted with Danny Masterson, who is a lot cuter in real life than he is as Hyde on That 70's Show. He has beautiful blue eyes and was covering up his curly locks with a stylish top hat. I invited him to come to The New Deal concert which I was attending later that night, thinking that he would enjoy the live breakbeat house sounds, as he himself is a talented DJ.




Unfortunately I did not see him at Lee's Palace, the location of The New Deal's 10 Year Anniversary show. In typical New Deal fashion, the show was incredible, with tantalizing light, sound & movement captivating the audience. For those of you who missed out, the show was recorded and will be available shortly under the "This is Live" series.
