blue_lotus13One of the things I was supposed to do today was attend the City of Vancouver book awards in the Council Chambers, on behalf of Ricepaper. I got all dressed up, and caught the bus to City Hall. I was worried when I got off the bus and saw the big clock on City Hall, as I was running a bit late. Feeling ashamed, because I'm rarely late, I rushed three blocks to the office and up to the Council Chambers. There I was greeted by a throng of people, including some book industry types I'd met before. It turns out that the bus riders' union had invaded the Council Chambers for a protest and a fare strike. As a result, one of the councillors had to come out and tell us that the Book awards would be postponed. This is the first time this has ever happened in the history of the book awards.
I was somewhat disappointed, but I did get to eat a delicious piece of chocolate mousse as a compensation.
