I’m trying to buy TIFF tickets that I was told would go on sale at 7 AM, but the site appears to be down. Looks like a monkey got funky with their global.asa file or something.

UPDATE (8:00 AM): now the site loads but I get a timeout when I link to the order form.

UPDATE2 (3:00 PM): I’ve been constantly reloading the order form, to no avail. I’ve only gotten a real page to load a couple of times, and then it just times out. One time, this morning, I got in to the point where my order form was complete, I was signed in, I’d submitted by credit card info…and it timed out on the VERY LAST STEP. Whore!

I believe that I shall soon give up. Even if I get through, surely the films I wanted are sold out by now. One of the films I wanted on the 16th — Beowulf & Grendel — sold out while I was submitting the first step of the form, and I doubt the others are still open. Oh well, at least I got my original five; poor T-Bone might not get any if this nonsense keeps up.
