We were in box 20 and they drew box 66 (of 75) so we were a bit surprised we got everything. My wife is also seeing ten, but we're only seeing one (Jar City) together.

I got my confirmation today at 2:00PM and got 9 of 10 (Jar City was filled up on opening night but I got my backup choice of Dinner With The President: A Nation's Journey/Please Vote For Me). I'm gonna plow through the schedule and see if I should try to grab some additional tickets online Wednesday morning... So, how did your picks go?

For those of you who have gone before, have you had much luck in gettng additional singles after tickets go on sale to the public? I haven't even looked into the process - is it worth it? I submitted my picks this morning and listed them <a href="http://eternalsunshineofthelogicalmind.blogspot.com/2007/08/submitted-picks-for-tiff-2007.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I got box number 45. I hear ya Jason…It’s particularly tough with only 10 choices.
