One X One and Matt Damon’s impenetrable fortress (a.k.a. Maple Leaf Gardens)

We don’t care for sneaking into parties. It’s so sordid. But we couldn’t help ourselves last night at the One X One event at Maple Leaf Gardens. We circled a number of times—more for posterity than in the hope of finding an open door—before meeting some lovely security guards who politely told us to get lost, which we did (it was raining and we were expected at Ultra for a much-easier-to-get-into event. Sometimes, one’s losses must be cut, and not even Matt Damon can entice us to make an unladylike scene on Church Street. At least, not on day 5. We simply don’t have the energy. Perhaps One X One ambassador Russell Peters could have whisked us in the doors using magic, but, sadly, we missed him on the red carpet.
