Word "Under" the Street
Between the continuing CUPE strike, and the cold rainy conditions, Word on the Street was not having its finest moment. But although the sales were not as awesome as they were last year, it was not the complete washout we were fearing. And there was drinking and gambling to fall back on in emergencies! And I was wearing my cardigan, so I kept warm.
It was very good to hear from people who had read the book, some who had gotten it out of the library! How crazy is that? And one guy who was using it in his ESL teaching. And quite a few people were impressed by the One Book One Vancouver sign that Ed made (though I think not one of them were impressed enough to buy a book).
Just two pictures:
This is the post office overhang we were under. It was a little odd at first, but I think ended up being a lot drier than a lot of the tents!
Due to strike complications, there was no main stage, so the Choir Practice decided to sing on this ledge. I kind of wish I had bought one of their cds.
