Saturday July 27th - Day two of the convention

The three day of the convention are pretty much things mostly us Duesers know and understand about, but I'm still writing up a little post about it!

Saturday started at Patrician Grill, thank you again to Terry and the others who pushed the vacation up so we all could come. Outside after we had eaten we took a photo, that is on the official website so I won't share it here.

  

As we walked back in different constellations we stopped by. This is inside St. Lawrence hall which posted as the Canadian consulate in one of the seasons.

  

And on Torontostreet you find this door that's also played a bit role. The building was even used in Chasing Rainbows, so Chicago or Montreal.. everything happens in Toronto.

 The Kind Street Pilot project have left the city with nice places to take a rest when you're out walking.

 

 A fun panel this afternoon, Jackie and Chris Moulson, Tom Melissis, Michael Bowman, Catherine Bruhier and Daniel Kash. So many stories we got to hear, but I think I won't "Kiss and Towel"

  

  

More signs and the cardboard Benton Fraser

Another reaccuring fun event, our galadinner, the food was excellent and plenty, the desserts all loked lovely but you couldn't try them all.

  

  

Jackie wanted a picture with Catherine Bruhier and I ended up helping that happen and came to be in the photo too.

Bustour, Buick Rivera 1971, Guest Panel, Galadinner

I will start out with telling you all that there are some photos missing from the bustour, that's because I went by the "courthouse" from the Pilot myself on Wednesday so please go look at that post for those photos. I've got lots more but I've chosen these for you to see what we were up to Saturday August 16th.

 

Daily Schedule

 Sonja had gotten to borrow the uniform that Paul Gross wore in Passendaele and just so she didn't have to carry it back and forth we hung it in my closet, the helmet is slightly to the right on the shelf.
