I can't believe its thursday again already! I have been canvassing again today - this morning i was at the printers trying to get them to do all the printing for the concert for free!! It didn't happen but i have manged to get a good deal!! The 2 guys that run the shop are really nice, the manager (miraz) was actually born in Kent and lived in london, he then moved to London, Ontario!! Pablo who works with him spent a day in London, england and said he absolutely loved it!!!! Pable and me spent about 10 minutes trying to convince each other why each of our countries was so good - i was loving Canada and he was trying to tell me that London was great! hmmmmm!!! Anyway they offered us a very good deal on printing and then i managed toget them down on price a little bit more - on thinking about about it - we are getting an awful lot af stuff printed for a very small price, they are not even charging 100 pounds and we are having 200 tickets, posters and handbills done in colour with Logo's and these guys are good, Miraz is a real perfectionist. After lunch i sorted out some new music to go on my ipod (borrowed lady Rachel's iTunes and computer!!) The music on my ipod has nothing at all to do with canvassing for the concert - just a random entry into my diary!! haha!!. Anyway; I then hit Queen Street - it is the main street running west to east through downtown Toronto in the fashion district - it is pure shopping heaven for everyone. It took me 2 hours to do a very small portion of Queen street!!! Unfortunately the block i started on i was a little unsuccessful in getting donators because sadlythere was a huge fire in queen street about 2 weeks ago - it wiped out nearly one whole block and many businesses are suffering - the remaining ones are trying to support each other and the victims as much as they can. It will take a good whil to recover i think. Understandably any 'spare' money etc is going to help out with this.
However as i moved further East i did better. I have managed to get all sorts donated but hadn't realised what a big job this was and im losing track of which shops/businesses want to do what - so i have left it for today as i need to get it all sorted and but business cards in some sort of order so that they get appropriately promoted! I also need to sit down with the street map and break Queen street into sections to cover over a few days!!! Still enjoying myself - i like having a little project to do!!! haha!! Nothing to do with the fact that Selena is an awesome cook and has agreed to cook me a big dinner for doing this!!!!! I feel very excited today about Sarah and graham coming to town!!! also im looking forward to the hockey this weekend - haven't seen any live sport for a while!
I haver managed to write a nd post some more postcards today too!
I do so love everyone
