Ian Brown, Catherine Gildiner & Michael Wex

WOW....what a fantastic start to TRS 2nd season. A sellout at Commensal Resto on Elm b/w Yonge and Bay. Ian Brown, Catherine Gildiner and Michael Wex broke our hearts and made us laugh. They talked about everything from flying collars to the human hearts longing for equality to narcotics and oral sex. Laughter rang out!
TRS takes December off (to eat and read natch) and returns with a bang Tuesday January 26. Get ready to get healthy with Rick Gallop the G.I. guy (G.I. would be glycemic index...how long foods 'stick to your ribs') Dr. Joey Shulman and Healthy Sin Foods along with the editors of The Edible City. Oh what fun we'll have. In the mean time if you are hungry for a terrific book event check out http://www.benmcnally.com/ for their 45 books in 45 Minutes.
Ben and his staff present their 45 top reads in 45 seconds...along with treats. It is great fun and you have to book your seat. Then walk up to Commensal for a tasty dinner and dessert http://www.commensal.ca/
In the meantime, buy books for gifts...they are a cheap and easy way to give hours and hours, years and years of pleasure. Think that spending $32 on a hardcover book is disgusting....stop being so bloody minded....how much would you spend on a concert seat? Food? What...for three or four hours of 'entertainment?" Now extrapolate the entertainment value of a book that costs $32. 00 over your life and the life of a book's impact on you....
Happy Holidays.....Happy Always
