Hi friends

Sorry for the delay in posting.  I am in the mountains and I have no service most of the time out here.  I am in a hotel now so can post.
Book club is at my house on Monday.  1028 Queen Street East.  Parking is free and the door (black with graffiti) will be open.  Don't forget the stairs are steep!  Hoping to sit outside as the house was painted while I was gone so may be smelly and all the art is on the floor.  We'll see.
I land at noon and have to go right to a tech scout so I will likely be ordering in.  Who is coming and would you prefer portugese chicken, dim sum/bao or sushi?
Please let me know if coming and your preference.
See you soon.

Hi. I'm sorry I can't make it tonight. BUT, I have an extra ticket to Dionne Brand at the AGO on Wednesday night, if anyone would like to come with me.

Regarding next month: We have Judy Rebick coming to answer questions and talk about her book, "Heroes in My Head." A few things to consider: We want Judy to feel welcome, appreciated and thanked. I am picking her up and taking her home. I am going to pick up a gift for her when I am at the AGO on Wednesday, a nice coffee table book or something. I was thinking of asking everyone to pass questions along to me in advance so I could group them by theme or something, but I'm not sure that's necessary. Maybe discuss tonight. We have agreed that we can invite a few extra friends along. Marney's sister is coming, as is my friend Linda. I think Barb is bringing an extra or two too. This is subject to whatever Marney thinks her place can handle. I assume those "extras" are also coming for dinner, but this assumption may not be valid and guests will also bring a bottle of wine. Marney? Also, I always remind everyone in writing workshops that when when talking to an author about memoir, we are not just talking about a character in a book, but talking about their life, and I think it's appropriate to make the same reminder to a book club.

I'm sorry I'm missing this book - it sounds like a good one and eventually, I will get around to reading it.

Hi Carol,

My sitter is sick and I'm working on finding care. I'm sorry to be so last minute but I will let you know ASAP!

Thanks,

Julia
