WestFest

After work, I spent a couple hours down at WestFest, an outdoor festival in Westboro (a somewhat trendy district in Ottawa that's just a couple blocks from the house I lived in during my high school years). Actually, I have connections to someone who runs a used book shop down there and, since the place was participating in WestFest, I thought I'd set up shop there and try to sell a few books.

Well, the afternoon was a total bust. Only one person expressed an interest in my book (and that was a two-minute 'out-of-politeness' thing). And, to top it all off, there was a $40 parking ticket on my car when I left - but the no parking sign had been enveloped by the leaves of this massive tree/bush thing. Argh!

P.S. Read of the Week will be up tomorrow. Promise.
