Word on the Street

Okay, I’m too tired to go into the details more than once. So if you want to find out more about what Word on the Street is and what I did there, go HERE

Things I bought at Word on the Street:
1 tote bag
3 buttons
the graphic novel version of Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter
a book of Boris Vallejo art
a book on palmistry
5 Silhouette Nocturnes
3 back issues of the New Quarterly Canadian Writers & Writing
also, about $7 went to various buskers

Things I got for FREE at Word on the Street:
5 buttons
2 tote bags
1 signed copy of Margaret Moore’s A Lover’s Kiss
6 magazines
15 book marks
1 magnet
30 leaflets and brochures
1 vinyl album of classical music
10 extremely large poems (the poems are short but they’re the same size as the TTC used to display on their buses)
1 near-miss with heat exhaustion

Add to that a free light fixture for my dining room and a bag of books from my BFF and it was an extremely good day!
