IIDD, Oct 31st, Halloween!

It was my shame, and now it is my boast, That I have loved you rather more than most. -Hilaire Belloc, writer and poet (1870-1953) 

Back home. Thank you again, Patrick.
Misha
ps: ordered Panicking Ralph

Hi Misha!

Glad you made it home safely! Hope same goes for Marcus Aurelius. Thanks again for lovely wafers!! Enjoyed evening immensely, as did Andrew. Dropped him off at YVR at about 5:30am so he should be in the air by now, winging his way back to Toronto!

Cheers, Patrizio!

Hi Patrick,

Just wanted to drop you a quick line and say thanks for hosting last night.  As always it was a most enjoyable evening.  I look forward to our next get together.

Hope the biking continues to go well.  Enjoy all your new books.

Cheers,..Dave

Hi again, Dave!

First message was a tad "cryptic"! Guess you might have been a bit drowsy after pool time! Just arranged to meet with Robo Man. He will come by our place at 9:30am and we'll circumcycle Stanley Park and then head out to UBC, along Spanish Banks, through campus and then probably along 39th, making for Ray's place near Arbutus and 23rd. No word from Whirlygig so don't know when he is back from SF. Probably ride with him tomorrow as weather is supposed to remain dry.

When it starts to rain, I'll dig into new titles. Cheers, Patrizio! 


Hi Titanium Man!

Trust your swim went well this morning. Heard from Misha and he made it home safely! Hope same was true for Marcus Aurelius. Enjoyed evening immensely, as did Andrew. Dropped him off at YVR at about 5:30am so he should be in the air by now, winging his way back to Toronto! Thought of you, surging through the pool on my way back home! Cheers, Patrizio!


I got some kind of flu from this morning. So please excuse me from attending our no-Readers meeting. See you next time.

Hi Mo!

Sorry to learn that you had a touch of flu. We, (Guy, Dave, Mark, Misha and my friend, Andrew), missed your presence. Everyone seemed to enjoy the evening immensely, as did Andrew. Dropped him off at YVR at about 5:30am this morning so he should be in the air by now, winging his way back to Toronto!

Cheers, Patrizio! 


I missed you guys too. Hope to see everyone next time. Cheers Moe 

Hi again, Mo!

Whirlygig will be sending out details of next meeting over next few days, I assume. He was in San Francisco over weekend, playing in a doubles squash tournament. Cheers, Patrizio!

Looking forward to it. Moe

Dear Patrick,
How can we thank you enough? Another great festival has now come and gone: 13,000 audience members, 69 events, more than 100 authors, and 254 volunteers!
We all hope you had a great time volunteering and that you were able to take in some Festival events.
We'd love to hear what you have to say about your festival experience, good and bad.
Please fill out the attached feed-back form and return it to me, by e-mail, snail mail or fax (604 681-8400) by Friday Nov 4th at 5 pm. We will be drawing from the returned feedback forms at the volunteer party that night; the grand prize is two tickets to a Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival Tasting evening.
You are eligible to win even if you don't attend the party; all you need to do to be eligible for the draw is to submit your completed volunteer feedback form! Complete the form even if you were a pre-festival volunteer only, and did no Festival Week volunteering this year.
It would also be great to see you at the Volunteer Appreciation Party here at the Festival offices on Friday evening Nov 4th, 7 - 10:30 pm. Sign up now for 5 minute readings (one set at 7:30, the next at 8:30 and the last at 9:30 pm).

Hi Kathryn!
