Friday Fun Link – Drag Queen Storytime @officialrpl #yqr

This idea is increasingly common in other public libraries across Canada but it’s very cool that that Regent Place where I work was the first public library branch in Regina to offer a Drag Queen Storytime as part of the Pride Festival.

Music Monday – “Don’t your feet get cold in the winter time?/The sky won’t snow and the sun won’t shine/It’s hard to tell the night time from the day/You’re losin’ all your highs and lows/Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes away?”

I’ve managed to hit the first two major concerts at the new Mosaic Stadium – the “test case” one with Bryan Adams last May then the first “superstar” one with G ‘n’ R last August. The next big one happened last Thursday as The Eagles were in Regina for the Memorial Cup kick-off but I […]
