OTTAWA:
This is most definitely my last email from Canada. I had great luck selling my book on Bank Street, thanks to open minded folks. Bless your hearts at Mother Tongue & After Stonewall! Long live independent bookstores!! I'm beat. I walked for hours, too cheap to spend bus fare, so I splurged on gifts for my mom, sister, and girlfriend... and oh yes, a dynamite used leather dress coat (trenchcoat), that looks stunning, which I bought in Kensington Market in Toronto for c-h-e-a-p (my middle name).
I'm too exhausted to write, if you can believe that. So I'm signing off until next time.
Your faithful lover and friend,
wendy
OTTAWA:
Last night marked my last event, spokenword at The Study Lounge. Megan was on fire, fearless in her delivery and authentic in her style. I already feel the heart-strings being pulled with my approaching departure tomorrow. And it's time. Two weeks on the road at my age is enough to remind anyone where they belong and what they miss. I hope everyone got their postcards, I believe I mailed about 15 in total.
Today, I'm off to the "Castro" of Ottawa, an area called Glebe, where I'll try to peddle my relationship book to the local gay, feminist, and lefty bookstores on Bank St.
I'll be back in everyone's arms very soon. Keep stoking the fires of our love until I get back! I'm having serious affection withdrawls!!!
