WRITERS' FEST
We will meet at Pedro's Cafe (at the start of Granville Island - east side) at 9:00. I'd advise figuring out which sea bus to take. It is better to transit, as parking is hard to find.
Our first session is at Performance Works - we will head over at 9:40 - we must be there as a group - there are no tickets (you have to be with me).
The second session starts at 1:00 and is at the Revue Stage - be there at 12:45.
Bring money for lunch (which is from 11:30-12:45)
You may also want to have some cash to buy books as the authors sign books at their events. There is also a bookstore with Writers' Fest books.
If anything weird happens, please Message me on Facebook Messenger. Have at least one contact from class as well.
See you there!
