October Festivals in Vancouver

Friday, October 21^st, I attended the Vancouver International Writers Festival and the Reel Recovery Film Festival sponsored by The Orchard Recovery Centre which is on Bowen Island. This photo was taken with my iPhone from my seat at the Granville Island Stage where four writers were talking: Barry Callaghan; Alexandra Fuller; Gary Geddes; and Andrew Westoll. The topic was Truth and Storytelling. The best quote was: “Humour is one way of not being divorced from the truth when the truth is too dark.”

The gala opening of the Reel Recovery Film Festival was at District 319 near Main and Hastings – a surprisingly stylish venue. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson welcomed the crowd and acknowledged the importance of the event. There was a performance by New York-based stand-up comic Pat Dixon. He commented on how good looking our mayor is and drew great laughs when he said that, “Mayor Robertson probably engages a lot of threesomes.”

This is an odd photo taken at the Writers Festival. We were permitted to take photos but I snuck this one in with my iPhone.  It is of the panel of four writers.
