I said I&#8217;d be in town doing research in May, and gave them the dates I was free. One that they also had free was the 21st. So how great was that?<\/p>\n<p>It was super hot, and now I wish I&#8217;d taken more photos, but I was busy psyching myself up for my first non-Alberta reading, in front of a bunch of strangers.

(Especially since my event at Book Soup was the next night. This was my test run).<\/p>\n<p>I only have one picture from the event itself (thanks Linda!), so here it is:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lainigiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Gatsby-2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1601\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/lainigiles.com\/?attachment_id=1601\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lainigiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Gatsby-2.jpg?fit=720%2C960&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"720,960\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Gatsby 2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lainigiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Gatsby-2.jpg?fit=640%2C853&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-1601 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lainigiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Gatsby-2.jpg?resize=385%2C513&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"385\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lainigiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Gatsby-2.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lainigiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Gatsby-2.jpg?resize=588%2C784&amp;ssl=1 588w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lainigiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Gatsby-2.jpg?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, cousins Linda and Frank, Frank&#8217;s wife Janine, and Linda&#8217;s friend Peggy and I all went to Nomad for Chinese food.
