mythtellerI'm in the nation's capital and I'm feeling so federal. I arrived yesterday afternoon, despite the hour-long gridlock that was autoroute 20 between 32nd avenue and 55th avenue. Workers were putting up hydro towers on the median, so a 2 minute drive became 1 hour, adding an hour to my trip that I was already late in leaving. Argh.
But I still arrived at a decent hour. I met up with Shawna in Kanata and we had a good talk about a workshop I had given at KG in August. She has suggested I take this workshop to the Pagan Conference in Toronto in March 2007, which I'm seriously considering.
So today I'll be trying to get a hold of a storyteller in Ottawa to plug into her performance network. By collaborating with other tellers, she has created a circuit of performance spaces that tellers can use to get more gigs. Now that we've gotten a permanent spot to tell tales in Montreal, we can plug into this network and bring in tellers from away as well as giving us a place to go to tell tales. It's all mutually beneficial.
Then tonight is the Ottawa Pagan Pub Moot at the Highlander Pub in the Market. I hope to see a good chunk of my Ottawa friends there!
And then it's back to Montreal on Tuesday. I really need to make sure I get back to Montreal on time because I'm performing in a storytelling evening at the Empress at 7pm. The Empress is on the corner of Sherbrooke and Old Orchard (bus 105 from Vendome). If you can make it, I hope you can come out.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
