Toronto and OLA

It was a long fun visit.

I went out with friends, we had a small dinner party, I received an original piece of art, I saw Farley Mowat and I met Stephen Lewis for whose speech I ended up directing traffic for.

I went to panels on manga, roving reference, graphic novels and genre fiction.

We ate Thai food and drank coffee porter.

We had breakfast at Ikea! Its only $2.00.

I met up with two people I have not seen since Library School. One is now with the OPP and on her local library board and she helped put together library trustee programming. The other is now a teacher librarian working on a Phd with many other thngs on the go plus parenting two kids.

I picked up a bag of free books and bought some graphic novels inc. manga.

I also met lots of fascinating people some new some I met before.

How was your weekend?
