Today, I found out that my participation in LOVE, SASKATCHEWAN, 2010 at Harbourfront Centre is a go. The dates are July 23 – 25, 2010, and I will shamelessly rip off the organizers’ description: “In this summer festival, Toronto unites with Saskatchewan to showcase and celebrate its arts and culture and shatter stereotypes about what Saskatchewan is in the 21st century. The lens will be comprehensive and will include artistic presentations in all art disciplines and forms, and all types of creative practices from the grassroots to the most widely recognized.”
So there you have it! I would be delighted to shatter a few stereotypes with any of you who can make it to Harbourfront that weekend. If you can’t, Ted and I will be in Toronto and environs until after SCENE OF THE CRIME which takes place on Saturday, August 14th at Wolfe Island near Kingston. Please check their website. Lots of fine guests – Michael Blair, Vicki Delany, Susanna Kearsley, James W. Nichol, and I’ll be there too.
For those of you who are mathematically inclined, you’ll note that there’s almost a month between events, so Ted and I will in Ontario for awhile—doing readings from “The Nesting Dolls” wherever two or more are gathered together. I’m reading on the evening of Monday, August 16th at the Port Hope library, and Barb, the librarian, and I are hoping that we’ll be able to gather a crowd of at least two, so if you’re in the neighbourhood, please drop by. We’re planning for an outdoor evening event, and Port Hope is beautiful on a summer evening.. I’ll also be reading from “The Nesting Dolls” in Toronto – and a few other places when we get organized. More about all this later, but so far it looks as if summer will be a lot of fun.
