Thanks for the plug, Heather! It’ll be great to meet meet you and visit Calgary again.

You’re right, Ivan, I went to the best. It’s amazing how the themes Shakespeare wrote about so long ago resonate in contemporary life.

Well it would be a bit of a drive for me so I probably won’t be there. But sounds like fun. I hope you have a good time.

Liked to have come,but it's 2,000 miles away.

I had said something on Charles Gramlich's blog about taking someone's plot "envelope" to produce a story.

Well she went to the best.

But then I hear Shakespeare had gone to Seneca as a model.

So the Bard had gone to others for inspiration as well?

Well, yeah, yeah. But he did everything in first draft, no rewrites. So it was Willie S.who was crafting the plays.
And how he could craft!

If I could I would.

I met two of my favoured authors at McNally Robinson's readings; Jack Whyte and George R.R. Martin.
I really enjoyed those readings.

Prairie Ink, the little restaurant on the second floor is a preety cool place in itself, too.
