Loss

[mythteller]

I've already blogged my grief about denizsarikaya  on my regular blog, but for some reason (probably because she was an LJer), I feel the need to repeat it here. I'll be going to the memorial on Thursday night. I wish I had taken the time to hear her sing.

In other bittersweet news, I went to pick up my first published work at the printer yesterday, but there was a printing error, so I had to reject them (all 500 of them). For some stupid reason, the pages inside the book stuck out past the cover by a centimeter. I went back to the printer to kick up a storm about it and they agreed to cut the excess paper off. *grumble*

So I need to wait another week for the books and then another week for the CD. The book launch will probably be in March, so I hope you can make it. You'll buy a copy, won't you?

If you want to hear an earlier recording of one of the stories, check out my storytelling website at: http://www3.sympatico.ca/jdave/story/stories.htm and click the link for Jack's Tall Tale.

Who knew publishing would be so difficult?

What kind of book is it ? And, yes, how went the storytelling show the other day ?

It's a book of folk tales adapted by me and another storyteller. It comes with a CD of me and the other teller telling the stories.

Sorry for popping in like this...

I was just browsing Deniz's friend's list and wanted to ask if you are certain the showing is Thursday??
The email I got says that it is today from 2 to 10!

The Viewing is today from 2 to 10, but the memorial is Thursday night (at St. James United on Ste. Catherine street) at 8pm.

I'm sorry for your loss. Your video montage made me weepy. Will send out good thoughts to you during the memorial.
