01:13 Kim hi!
01:13 tori hi!
01:13 Kim Such a beautiful day outside. I expect attendance here will be light today! There will be no session next Sunday as I am traveling to Banff for Writing in Style and traveling back the 27th, so the next online Edmonton event session here will be May 4th.
01:13 tori okay — sounds good
01:13 tori the weather is perfect; makes me wish i didn’t have an essay to write!
01:14 Kim Yes doing my homework for the course! http://www.banffcentre.ca/programs/program.aspx?id=639
01:14 tori a friend of mine to me that there was some information on the news about the Int. LC event the other day
01:14 Kim We had good press from our Media Launch this past Tuesday. http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/story.html?id=61db1459-fb1a-4c8a-b305-3a595ebee95c

01:14 Kim The interest is really picking up with many more registering every day! We are able to help with travel and sightseeing plans both before and after the gathering. Some attendees are arriving the 18th spending the 19-22nd in the mountains and then returning to Edmonton on the 23rd. Lila is planning a post event tour of Banff and the Rockies. Others are flying to Vancouver after the event and then taking the wonderfully scenic train back to Edmonton through the mountains.

01:19 Kim The big news for the Edmonton event is the inclusion of Monsieur Camembert - Famous Blue Cheese in the main lineup on Saturday night at the Winspear; they also have their own performance on Sunday night. http://www.myspace.com/monsieurcamembert http://members.tripod.com/~mcamembert/ From Australia, probably the best band performing a Cohen out there right now. One of their singers may be joining Leonard’s band. There may be more singers added to the existing listing of band members.
