Word on the Street - AWESOME!

Well, I had the best day yesterday! My friends and I < bibliophiles, all > were at Queen's Park for Word on the Street - a huge book and magazine festival. We all had a truly fantastic day! Way too much walking, but it was well worth all today's pain. I got to meet and listen to my favourite author < Robert J. Sawyer, Hominids, Flashforward, Wake .. et al. > and I had the pleasure of seeing my best friend being so much herself that she didn't seem like herself anymore and EARN the Book of Awesome! < see www.1000awesomethings.com > by volunteering to go first on a game the author was doing! *Go Paula!*
Yes, I missed out on the crab legs at the Mandarin *sob!*, but I had the pleasure of being mocked by friends at Montana's on Steeles Ave. < ...glad I made your night, server Rebecca! >  So, notwithstanding the new nickname < which, I must say, is NOT appropriate, since the chicken was NOT naked, but smothered in cheese and sour cream > my day was totally awesome!  I was doing a scavenger hunt, and since I apparently put in a lot of effort for it, they gave me the option of a prize! I chose the Tshirt with a moose climbing up books instead of a bag or a book. This way I get to tell people all about WOTS when I'm wearing it and they comment on it!
To top it all off, I ended up bringing my sister and niece back home to Barrie, since her car had broken down the night before, and staying the night to give her a ride in to work this morning.  Now, off to do some cross stitching, stamp-carving and magnet assembly!

Happy crafting!
