The Shrewthering

Intro

This trip was my first venture into fandom and the online community. A few people said to me, 'haven't you seen that X-Files episode?' Let me tell you , this was worth the risk. I made many new friends, some with whom I am still in touch."I can't believe this day is here! This trip has been in the works for two months! How did I end up doing this---well, I was in a little chat group on AOL about the tv series Forever Knight. The lead actor Geraint Wyn Davies is appearing in 'The Taming of the Shrew'. One women mentioned she was going from Providence, so later I e-mailed her and we took it from there. Most people who are going are on an e-mail list. I have never met anyone-approximately 125 people from the US and Canada and one from the UK.

24/25 April

Left Boston for Providence around 8:30pm. "Another intersting note, X-Files normally on Friday was on while I waited for Linda...It was about vampires."
Hit the road from Providence at 11:30pm. "Dotti is a hot ticket. She has a great laugh and her daughter is cool too."
Breakfast in Niagara Falls
Arrived at the Casa Loma Inn at 11:00 AM.
Visted the CN Tower
Dinner at a great Cajun Restaurant, Southern Accent
I met a lot of people that day, but I must have gone to bed early...can't imagine why?
26 April
"Wow! I have had quit an interesting day. I went to the bank and met Kira of Alora and Kira-two sisters, who post alot. Very nice."
Hard Rock Cafe with a large group for lunch.
Shopping in Eaton Centre
Visited the gift shop at the Hockey Hall of Fame in BCE Place...where a scene from "Games Vampires Plays' was shot...we were "looking for klews."
Had Sushi for the first time with Kira and Alora and a few other people."I liked it" Wanna see pictures from Siona's Sight?
Hung out at the James Joyce Pub.
27 April

Visited the Royal Ontario Museum
Visited the Casa Loma
Went to see the "Taming of the Shrew" at St Paul's Church. It was a great perfomance. Ger was fantastic! He came out after and did a Q & A for everyone that was hanging out after the play was over. Siona has some pictures on her sight.
Party in Dotti's room...I had a hard time leaving that, but I really had to get sleep so I could drive home...I think I got out around 2am. Siona took some more pictures. I think that's me in the doorway in the first shot.
28 April

Drove home, stopping in Nigara Falls.
See more of Siona's pictures.
I met a lot of people that weekend, a some that I am still in touch with and a few I consider very good friends...and even "partners in crime".
Come and sit around the Campfire and meet some of these friends.(Or return there if that is how you got here.)
