Sorry, we’re going up earlier in the week.

Busted!

Amtrak?

I’ll check it out. The Clipper might be a relaxing option also.

Or I could Hitch-hike. Show some leg.

I was wondering if any of you folks from across the border might be coming up. I’m heading over from Vancouver Island on Friday afternoon for Bringhurst’s discussion that night, then on to Rimmerfest on Saturday evening. For anyone interested, there are details on both events here (look for the November 24 & 25 listings).

We’ll be coming over from Vancouver Island via Galiano Island on Saturday. Not sure that my wife get’s it though. She thinks Rimmerfest has something to do with Red Dwarf...

Cheers, Si

Bringhurst on Friday, hmm? Maybe I can make it an overnighter. Poor me still has to find a way up there though.

Ok, so I bought a bus ticket via Quick Shuttle. ($35 student round-trip. Not bad!)

Now I suppose I’ll have to find a hostel to stay at on Friday and Saturday nights.

Anyone up for a pint or two? And where would we get one? If you’re nice, I’ll buy a round!

Dan, great to meet you at Rimmerfest, & sii, sorry we didn’t see you there. The evening itself was entertaining (really a roast of sorts with a variety of shared anecdotes about Jim spraying molten lead all over his musty studio), but the schmoozing afterward (which I normally can’t stand) was a nice opportunity to talk to other folks crippled & reduced to obssessions typographic.

Then, of course, came the normally-4-hour but this weekend 11-hour return trip from Vancouver to Victoria. Nothing like driving the 30klms to the ferry terminal all in 1st-gear. But, the university campus here is closed today, so, like my students, I’m heading out
