…(if you live in Saskatoon, that is)…me! Looks like I’ll be part of the cast for Beauty and the Beast at Persephone Theatre in Saskatoon in December. Should be fun, and it’s also exciting because this will be the show that launches the brand-new downtown theatre: I gather our first preview will also be the …

Sad news from Saskatoon: Tibor Feheregyhazi, artistic director of Persephone Theatre, has died. I worked with Tibor twice, in the summer of 2000 on Tent Meeting at the Station Arts Centre in Rosthern, then later that same year at Persephone, when he cast me in Who Has Seen the Wind? He was a wonderful director …

I had a pretty good turnout tonight at McNally Robinson here in Saskatoon for the reading from my book A Safe and Prosperous Future: 100 years of engineering and geoscience achievements in Saskatchewan. The local Cosmopolitan Club came out en masse, and a few others showed up as well (including some people I went to …

…waiting to read at McNally Robinson tonight, and you know what that means, don’t you? That’s right! The obligatory Photo Taken Out My Hotel Window: Once I checked in (after my noon-hour appearance on CTV Saskatoon with Jeff Rogstad) I headed across the Broadway Bridge for lunch at Calories.

I’ll probably be reading the chapter on Saskatoon’s bridges, in honour of the location. The reading will take place in the Prairie Ink restaurant attached to the bookstore. I …

The reading went fine, but the best part of the evening was on my way out of the lobby. I stopped at the front desk to ask the young woman there if she would call me a cab. Which she did. I was carrying Lost in Translation, of course, and she noticed it and said, …

So here I am in Saskatoon, blogging to you live from the Radisson. The bus ride up was uneventful, if foggy in spots (see the previous post with a shot I rather hastily took out the bus window as we pulled into Davidson). I arrived a good 45 minutes before I needed to be at …
