Day three today of Hamilton's four-day annual writers' festival, gritLIT (http://www.gritlit.ca/). Today's events include a panel on writing nonfiction, and two writing workshops. Tomorrow's three readings include a free event at Sky Dragon.
Last night's reading -- Ray Robertson, Nino Ricci and Kenneth J. Harvey at the AGH -- was great. But drinks at the Sheraton afterwards, not so much. I think there were only 2 other customers there, but we waited about 15 minutes to be seated, about 20 minutes for someone to take our orders (and even then, the server only came after one of us went to find her where she was yakking with the other staff), and forever for drinks to come. Terrible service, and $10 for a glass of house red.
