After months and months and months (and months) of working on it, the books are here and we're having a party! TOMORROW!!
I've moved almost my entire office into Rocker & Junkii's guest room and am stickering the hell out of everything that's going in the swag bags (which are actually boxes).CEOT Book Launch Feb 13th, 7pm-9pm at East African Restaurant in Ottawa, sponsored by Beau's All Natural Brewery. RSVP please!
We're driving all over town delivering restaurant letters (the letters to restaurants saying "congratulations you're in a kickin' new restaurant guide. Here's a poster. Put it up.")
We're contacting the stores that have carried the book in the past, but haven't placed any orders yet, to remind them that the book will be "released" on Feb 14th.
We're talking to media and trying to build some buzz... I spoke with Ron Eade from the Citizen last week, I'm on CKCU on Wednesday morning at 8am, another interviewer is coming to the launch, sent a review copy into CHUO and yesterday I visited with Gay Cook who writes the food column in the Citizen .
Oh, and this is for M.Tinto, we are driving a big-ass SUV. Photos coming, but you can start the teasing now.
Well, it's not exactly that I'm saving up, but what I want is a shiny new Canon S5IS.
No saving is neccessary, since for my birthday Gerry handed me a big fat envelope filled with enough cash to buy me one courtesy of mom, the in-laws and of course Gerry himself. I guess they were listening when I said "all I want is a new camera."
Happy Birthday to ME!!!
Though the gift came with some stipulations:
- (in my b'day card from the in-laws) "Looking for more photos of flowers for my screen saver"
- (self-imposed) I can't get a new camera until CEOT goes to the printer.
- Gerry gets the old S2 to start his adventures in Macro photography. He does MUCH better flower shots than I do. (Oh, and he takes good ones of me too)
Sometimes the meal just isn't pretty enough to photograph... so I start writing with my food.
And with my condiments.
But I still wish my ketchup writing was as stylish as Dead Robot's I guess I'd better stick w/ taters.
