davemerrillLast weekend: went out into the hinterlands and did some junking and got our feet wet in Lake Erie down in Port Dover.
note the awards still in the window of the abandoned building. Spooky!
Port Dover was at one time a thriving port town, especially when Prohibition was a thing and it was used to load up boats with liquor for shipment to the thirsty States. Now it's more of a resort town with beachwear shops, 95 year old hot dog stands, and ice cream. And a beach, of sorts.
That fine Lake Erie water!
This weekend is the Liberate Your Locker yard sale here in Liberty Village and as it's looking like there won't be a SF Flea Market this fall due to the library remodelling their meeting room and wanting classier events in the space, we're going to be hauling some junk to the park and selling some stuff to the neighbors and whoever passes by. Looking forward to spending some time in the sun and meeting some locals and their dogs, likely.
In a few weeks we're going to take a little summer vacation up to Montreal and then over to Vermont and then perhaps to Boston and then back to Toronto; not as globe-spanning or as ambitious as previous years vacations, but hey, the Canadian dollar is still kind of weak so we're sticking a little closer to home. We haven't been to Montreal in years and were only there for a day and a half that time, so I'm looking forward to seeing more of the city.
And then at the end of the summer Shain and I - that's Mister Kitty - are going to be tabling at the Cambridge Comic Arts Festival over in Cambridge Ontario! This is our first time tabling at a zine festival in years and years so it's kind of exciting. Working on having some new books for sale, too, and maybe a table banner of some kind. Tabling is complicated these days!
