Still scratching my head about why the honor for Ethan Hawke...but if you want to buy a ticket to something for which VDO is sure to show, call the number at the end of this piece. I did: Tickets are $500 and include a cocktail reception. You can pay by major credit card. NB: You will be asked how you found out about the event. Probably best not to say a fan site.
Hey -- for those who long to get up close and personal with their favorite object of desire it's cheaper than a disappointing trip to Toronto.
