Imagine, if you will, a cartoon character (early Hanna-Barberra) immediately after the being-smacked-with-a-frying-pan routine. That’s me.
Yep. Going. That’s me. Gonna book the time off work tomorrow, 'cos I work weekends. But, yep, gonna go. Can’t wait. Gonna go. Yep.
Later all,

Hey DJM, howcome you Toronto people know about stuff happening in Winnipeg afore we do, huh? 
Oh, come now. EVERYBODY knows what’s happening before Winnipeg does. 
Just kidding, of course. I only learned of it here through WP’s post (on every freakin’ forum). And I’m not in or from Toronto, for whatever that’s worth.
Hope you have a great time!

Hey DJM:
I remember that you’re not from TO, but how’s a simple prairie boy to resist a quick jibe at one of you fancy, uptown Ontarians? (Excepting, of course, Kenora, which has seen the light and wants to join Manitoba. ) I mean, really.
