screaming at the cne

Allison, Sheilagh (Allison's sister), Phil, Lissa and I visited the CNE yesterday. It was Toonie Tuesday: only $2 for the entry fee! Surprisingly (and sadly, for the CNE), it wasn't that crowded. It's been years since I have attended the Canadian National Exhibition, and even longer since I've been on a roller coaster. Have to say that I'm glad I let Phil and Lissa convince me to try one again...I had a great amount of fun (though my throat was raw for a while after from all the screaming :-)).

Here is Allison's Livejournal entry about our CNE visit. Here's Lissa's.

I just received my Torcon progress report. Isn't it a bit late to be mailing out something like this? Members who have left for Torcon early won't be seeing it (Allison still hadn't received her copy as of yesterday, Paul & Lissa & Phil hadn't seen it yet). The back cover advertises a convention that already has already taken place.

Only a few days until we see our new CD! Bill & Gretchen Roper are bringing them to the convention.

Going for a hike today, then to Jodi's place in Newmarket for a pre-Torcon party tonight.

Speaking of new CDs, Andrea Dale's new CD, Zen Cappuccino, will also be released at Torcon. See her Livejournal entry announcement.

Torcon starts tomorrow!

I got one, too!

On the way out of the CNE, Allison and Sheilagh decided
to try their hand at a pinball game. Allison's holding a prize
she won.
