Fun in Winni

I had the pleasure of appearing on the Kelly Hughes Live show at Aqua Books in Winnipeg on Friday, Feb. 5. This was my first chance to meet Kelly, although I’d been to his book store a few times on previous visits.

I found him to be a very funny guy, honest and intense, and we had a bit of common ground and talked about what it’s like to own a bookstore. Here’s how the event was pitched in the Winnipeg Free Press:

Kelly Hughes Live! Gets His Geek On
Friday, February 5/10 7pm
With Kids in the Hall’s Kevin McDonald, SF writer Nick DiChario, X-Men colourist Lovern Kindzierski and UFO expert Chris Rutkowski, music by Al Conroy (aka not half)

I had a great time on the show. Kevin McDonald from Kids in the Hall was hysterically funny, and I really enjoyed the local Half Pints Brewing Company’s Stir Stick Stout — highly recommended!

Check out the Aqua Books website. It’s definitely a place to visit if you’re in Winnipeg.
