Word on the street in pictures

Have you heard the word? A treasure trove of books indeed.

Such a beautiful day for a literature festival in Queen's Park. The balloons and buskers were out in full force.Kiss Machine: A congo line of graphic arts and culture. Such a stupendously spunky magazine.
Here's Mariko Tamaki ( wearing the hat in the centre), the Toronto-based writer of Skim, a graphic novel which inspired Kiss Machine.

This is Kiss Machine's last issue. *sob* They were selling back issues (and the newest issue featured here) at 3 issues for 5$. Such a steal.
And for girls who get it, flock to Shameless. If you look closely you can spot editor, Megan Griffith-Greene, standing in the brown shirt. Another reason to check out Shameless is....
...because I contributed to the newest issue! My review of Lisa Bozikovic's self-titled EP can be found on pg. 44. (yes I am aware that this is shameless self promotion *wink*)


The Women's Book Store booth. They had some on sale for 2.99$
Heading home, hanging in Museum station. This ancient column looked quite friendly. I named him Ya-bub.
Maybe if I stand still enough I can become a permanent fixture. We do have similar noses. What a splendid day celebrating words.
