Ottawa Friday

Another great day of screenings at the festival. And today, the  Animator's Picnic.

Here in the double-decker bus on the way to Strathcona(?) Park for food, beer, and rencontres. I've never carved a pumpkin here, just taken photos.

Today was relaxed and sunny. Tomorrow it's more "Meet the Filmmakers". The first day's crowd of artists was surprisingly articulate. Today's experience was different, with some degree of incoherence, some interesting points, and a wandering host who let one thing go on a long time.

The first-prize pumpkin.

Bus interior texture.

For several years I have walked past these tissue holders. Thought of acquiring one but am now content just to take a picture.
















Dreaming Thomas have found their way to Canada. No gigs just yet, just traces in odd places. So far it hasn't affected record sales, but we expect to see an Ontario spike soon...
