My first-ever PowerPoint presentation last night at
the Ottawa Writers Festival (sponsored by the good folks at
Imagine Ottawa) seemed to be fairly well-received by a patient and attentive crowd, so I'm guessing my Nobel Peace Prize nomination is just around the corner.
In the meantime,
the publicity tour kicks into high gear next Monday and marches steadily westward to the Pacific for a whirlwind week. There are three public events:
Monday, Oct 22: Toronto(Unofficial) Launch & Hootenanny
C'est What, 67 Front St. E.
8:30-10:30pm
(sponsored, in the grand tradition of Neil Young, by nobody)
Wednesday, Oct 24: Calgary
Official Launch Party
Broken City, 613-11 Ave SW
7:00-10:00pm
(sponsored by Random House Canada, Pages on Kensington, and Sustainable Calgary)
Monday, Oct 29: VancouverInstore Event
Chapters, 2505 Granville St.
7:00-9:00pm
(sponsored by Random House Canada and Chapters)
All are welcome. Hope to see my growing Hopehead army at all three. My freeform late night jams are already a thing of legend in the funkier parts of Brooklyn, Ottawa, and my own mind.
