w00t

Got to Toronto fine.. went out with [livejournal.com profile] strangegrrl and met [livejournal.com profile] cyn", du big man, paisley, the divine ms V and others. This all at very short notice.. I get my stuff in my room, call monica and she's like "meet me outside my place in 10 minutes" heh!

The screeners at Vancouver airport were mildly amused by my carry on.. I took out the laptop and they scanned the bag and said "have you got any more electronics in here?", why yes, yes I have.. *pull out palm, ipod and digital camera".. had a chat with one of them about the ipod while they swabbed them all for explosives residue. "Ok, you can put your gadgets away now".. heh! :D

Additional Edit: Not to detract from the marvellous works of Monica and Cyn, but [livejournal.com profile] duhbigman gave an amazing performance last night of Othello, with a frog sock puppet. I think he should expand his productions of the works of Shakespeare with sock puppets. Romeo and Juliet with a cow, for example "But soft, what light from yonder window breaks, it is the mooooooooon, and juliet is the sun" :)

:D I didn't bring any of them last night, the batteries for both my Palm (Tungsten T) and iPod ran out on the flight over, so they were recharging

They did the same thing to me in Vancouver... Swabbed my digital camera, MD player, and Gameboy, haha!

Thanks for the compliment, dude!

I should also point out that I did a rousing (if not fully memorized) rendition of the Crispin's Day speech from Henry V at the Art Bar Shakespeare night in April.

Mr. Froggy did not take part in that one, however.
