Hello Vancouver!
I got up quite early in Seattle and got a cab over to the train station. One thing I noticed about Seattle and Portland. Cute, tiny train stations with clocktowers. So tiny! The ride was pretty uneventful aside from the gorgeous scenery! I also saw a bald eagle up close on a tree. Gorgeous! At the station (after being interrogated by customs) my kind handler Fleur and Robin (from the inkstuds radio show on CITR) drove me over to CITR for my radio appearance. It was a cool place and we had fun doing the interview. They even played some of my music and bands I requested as well. Sweet!
Afterwards I got to the hotel where my good friend Jason was waiting for me. He flew in from NY just for the occasion and was already in love with Vancouver’s temperate climate. I’m loving it too! Our suite has a porch with windows that open wide so we took some photos of the view.
Then we headed towards Sophia Books for my signing and had burritos and crepes on the way. This is a terrific food city!
The Sophia signing was great and the employees so friendly (thanks Sean!)! They hung up the art I sent and set up a great display. They had wine for the guests, and my friend Albert from NYC showed up too, I hadn’t seen him in ages! We sold a bunch of books and I spoke to lots of people. It was a fitting way to end my tour.
I can’t believe it’s almost over! By far the most surreal thing was seeing my face on the paper all over the place. Yikes! and Yay!
Later on we went out with Albert and I had poutine (my total for that and a juice was 6.66!) as well as some really great gelato.
Now that’s celebrating! Plus we took some fun photos on the gay strip.
