In a fit of insomnia, I wound up at the box office at 6:30 a.m. to redeem my pre-festival volunteer coupons. I've added a few more confirmed screenings to my schedule, and screwed myself out of seeing anything on the first day, as I'm now out of vouchers (whoops!). Everything else will be same-day, rush or press.

Still, aside from a few Midnight movies (which won't be a problem to get last-minute) and D.O.A.P. (which will probably not happen), I've got all my must-sees for the festival. The idea of not spending every day of the festival scrambling around for tickets and wrestling with rush-line blues is a bit disconcerting. Oh well, I'm sure that I'll hear about some hidden gem by day three that I just *have* to see...
