Planning my moviegoing schedule for the Vancouver film festival is tricky at the best of times — like a game of Sudoku in which there is no right answer — but it’s proving trickier than usual this year.
For one thing, we have kids now, and I’m not sure how much time I should allocate to coming home and taking them off the wife’s hands. OTOH, this is the last festival before my wife goes back to work and I become the primary caregiver — and it’s possible that, by next year’s festival, we might not even be living within 15 minutes’ walk of all the main theatres, as we do now — so it would be nice to take as much advantage of this year’s festival as I can.
Also complicating things is that I may be in Chicago the first week of October, but I do not know which particular days, yet.
Speaking of which, anybody want to meet in Chicago?
