Gazettified
Dec. 4th, 2005 07:42 pmA couple of weeks ago, a few of my fellow Montreal pagans were interviewed by the Gazoo about Christmas and the Pagan perspective. That article appeared in the Montreal Gazette on Saturday (page A-3).
This morning, we had a surprise birthday breakfast for EvilGab (40 attendees). I performed a highly illegal act (I drove the car in my PJs, which is against the law in Quebec) so that EG wouldn't be the only one in his PJs. As the people came in, many of them mentionned their surprise at seeing my mug on the 3rd page of the Gazette, although they all agreed it was a great article and photo.
On Saturday, there was a Yule fair at Concordia with a ritual taking place at 7pm (led by moi). The Gazette coverage really brought in a gaggle of folks to the fair and the ritual. The counts vary, but it seems to fall somewhere between 75-90 people. And I was expecting 40-60! Yikes!
The Ritual went off without too many hitches. There were a few things I hadn't counted on and could've planned for better, but I didn't really have time to work on it this week (with the end of the contract looming and all).
Many thanks to all who helped out, especially to
sarahcarotte who made me a gorgeous vest for the ritual.
