Torcon, Day 2



John Scalzi and Cory Doctorow in the
Royal York Hotel.



On the way home from my sister's Place, Jeff dropped me off at the Royal York so I could catch the Spider Robinson concert. I ran into Cory Doctorow in the hotel, who introduced me to John Scalzi, who in turn told me where the concert was. On the way to the concert, I met Joey Shoji (who gave me chocolate-covered ginger, yum!) and Terence Chua as they were coming off the elevator. Joey said he had seen our CD in the dealer's room...yay, a confirmation that at least some of our CDs have made it here. :-)

Sat with Allison, Jodi, Phil, Lissa, Paul, Dave, Tom and Mary at the concert, then we all headed up to Paul's and Tom's room to do some practising for Paul's concert on Saturday; Kathleen Sloan joined us (an experienced Dangerette). On the way out the hotel to go back to my apartment, we ran into my friend Michelle.



Practising "Danger Man" for Paul's concert, with
Dandelion WIne (Dave Clement and Tom Jeffers) accompanying. Dangerettes in photo:
Mary Crowell, Lissa Allcock, Allison, Jodi, Kathleen Sloan.



Our set-up at home is such that Allison, Jodi and I can all be online at the same time (hey, we can be E-MAILING EACH OTHER while we're all in the apartment! is that pathetic or what?), so be sure to check Allison's Livejournal as well.

Our children's music panel is at 11 this morning, so we will likely do some practising after breakfast before heading over to the Royal York Hotel.
