Le Olympiadi sono qui
Four more days, not counting Saturday! I’m at Canada House online -- and just saw the headlines about our new Prime Minister. Wow, it's strange to be here, but wonderful. The sound track on the BC Moments slide show beats the drums, and visitors to the house stream past me as I type away.
News from "la chiesa" via Patrick (who went back on the bus yesterday morning) The church floor now has color on it; some slabs of previously made paintings. Jaz went to the doctor, has tonsilitis, got antibiotics and is in bed today. Crew worked late, went back after supper. Lots of photos.
I met at BC House yesterday re: Feb 8th unveiling of Vancouver 2010 logo, a Sports, Arts & Culture event they’re calling ‘Chill Out in Canada’ with some obvious tie-ins to Paintings Below Zero. Apparently there’s a good buzz about the exhibit! They've decided to unveil the logo painting at the event and feature Gord's work!
Lori says two producers at The Today Show are interested in doing a story on Paintings Below Zero! Tom Harrington at CBC said "there's an excellent chance." I’ve been on the phone all morning. Thank you Lori and Jeff for your help on press release wire service and forwarding our info to NBC & NY! Fingers crossed!
(Walking down Via Girabaldi to BC Canada House for internet while Italy is at lunch, past all the sales in the stores, Saldi, Saldi, Saldi! 50% off, mannequins in the windows.
Meeting tonite with Barbara Papuzzi TOROC's PR person for Cultural Olympiad. She stood me up to answer emails, she's so busy. I sat in her office until almost nine, then went out into the streets, looking for a restaurant in the dark. Barbara has put us on the itinerary for press bus tours on Sundays. I'm feeling homesick, esp with election news, but after all this time, not really sure where home IS I want to be. Can't wait to get back to the crew, they must be exhausted, but excited! I keep seeing these signs: Le Olympiadi sono qui
