Don filled in as host of the recent Guelph Regional Writers Group Meeting. He set up his amp in the green room and the festivities went from there!"We used the Green Room because the stage was set up for the B-Bop event and the patrons weren't really going to dig the singer-songwriters. It made for a suitably intimate evening which is what I was going for."
The Man of Steel once again had not only postered, and promoted, but he collected email addresses on the sign up sheet and sent in some other notes for the minutes...
THANKS TO ALL.
