The best part of the Edmonton Folk Music Festival is that we get to go again next year! Bill bought 3 raffle tickets and won the early bird prize! It includes 2 passes to next year's Festival, 2 Passes to next year's Calgary Folk Music Festival and a Private box for Bill and 11 of his friends to see the Edmonton Oilers vs. the Calgary Flames, including food and beer. Wow was he stoked! I lost my voice from screaming when they called his name!
As much fun as we had, the old saying is so true, "there's no place like home." It's nice to be sleeping in our own bed.
Stay tuned for my book review of The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson, coming soon.

I just came back from Edmonton. Ron Sexsmith passed me in the airport and paused to read my t-shirt. As he did so, I stood staring, trying to think of something wittier than "Hey, you're Ron Sexsmith!" Then he walked away.

LOL John!
Actually I'm kind of suprised he stopped to read you shirt, and made it apparent. I have seen him in concert many times and have always thought of him as kind of shy.

Looks like you had a fun vacation! Nice score on the raffle prize! :)
