Hey Blogsters! I've been away in nippy Ottawa for a conference for work. Check out this great wallet-sized ice scraper from CBC North (thanks Marita!). Stayed in a hotel during the conference and after that stayed in the hostel, which is in a building that used to be a jail. The beds are in cells! I went on a tour of Death Row and saw the gallows, it was pretty dang cool!
Like sleeping in a museum or a film by Wes Anderson.
Also visited the big, friendly spider at the National Gallery and the Norval Morrisseau exhibit, so lively! And made some good scores at a zine fair called Ravenswing, met the rockin' zinester who organizes it and he's doing a custom zine reader's advisory for me, I told him he should go to library school, of course! Lots of snow in Ottawa, unlike tropical Toronto.
