Hi Paul,
It was excellent. As LP's stats showed, we had a good turnout. The audience was a bit different from previous sessions. 
Nolan co-hosted with me, and we sat up front at a table with Gina and Kevin.  I introduced the session, and explained Basia's absence. I think I did that well. There were no questions in that regard. 
Our Q&A style presentation went well. Excellent responses from both speakers. And then lots of questions/comments from the audience. We started questions at 12:45 and went about 10 minutes overtime. I'm really impressed with Gina. She's amazing.
We plugged and sold tickets for both the Labour Choir performance and Boots Riley. 
I think their is an appetite for more, and Kathleen and L.P. would be happy to discuss this. I told them we want to go in for a wrap-up. Kevin wants to talk to them about distribution of the strike tour brochure, and they are going to give him the parts of the exhibit they produced to display at the dinner.
Will got everything recorded and is keen to get everything done. We settled on an image of women to incorporate into the piece. It's the photo of the WLL women preparing relief parcels for the families of Nova Scotia coal miners on strike. 
So all is going well.

I hope things went okay for you and Marion today.

Hi Julie,
That sound great; I'm looking forward to seeing your book.
If the conference doesn't work out, our contacts at the Millennium Library would likely be happy to host a launch.
Congratulations!

Hi All:

I haven’t given this much thought until now, having been up to my eyeballs in teaching and then marking, but I am guessing that there must be a 30-minute space on the program for me to have a mini-launch of my recently published book, Radical Housewives: Price Wars and Food Politics in Mid-Twentieth Century Canada. It came out in March and has not yet been launched, and I would love to have an opportunity to launch it at our conference. I was thinking there would be a half-hour when we gather at the Goodwill. I could set up a table and give a short description and people who were, for some strange reason, uninterested could talk in a different section of the room. Or maybe there’s another spot on the program I haven’t thought of.

What do  people think?
