The Adventure begins . . .

Yesterday was already amazing and we just got here. We met Shawna Demsi and Lori Milan along with a whole slew of artists on the plane. MAC sent Marian Butler to come check out the scene. Then when we got the gorgeuos Delsa Chelsea Hotel (2 nights accomodations) we bumped into Morley Walker of the Wpg Free Press who encouraged us to come to a high end party for the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra at Peter Herrndorf's house. Now Peter Herrndorf happens to be President and Chief Executive Officer of the National Theatre Centre in Ottawa. He also happens to be from Winnipeg. I got to meet him along with his wife and the Artistic Director for Harbourfront, Bill Boyle. We did a lot of connecting and the food was fabulous. Dishes of overflowing shrimp, rolls, pastries, sushi and plentiful food. It was amazing. DJ was right into the mingling and Robyn loved the music. David laughed it off with everyone he met.

And Morley walker was keen to take our picture at the place. He was extremely friendly. Could it be that deep down in his heart he really wanted us to get kicked out so he could have something more to write about? Who knows? If that was the case it backfired as everyone was interested to talk and encourage one another at the party. And Morley payed for our cab ride down there as well take a great picture for us. I have a new respect for him wherever his kindness came from. I should have payed for the cab back but we all opted for the subway before I could jump on it. I've got to be quicker on the draw. Hopefully I'll get a chance to repay him soon.
