pat...

Pat the Dog was successfully launched with T-shirts and buttons bearing the image of Pat. Pictures of inebriated playwrights duly to appear on web site (and since I am one of them we will not attempt to link to it, scroll down if you are curious, I'm sure you'll find it somewhere.) Our leaderess Lisa O'Connell to whom we are so grateful for so many things will be having a reading of her play Ellie at Theatre & Company this Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 I believe but you may want to check with the box office on that since I am an inebriated playwright and as for the link, again, you are on your own.

Pat, if you must know, is Mackenzie King's dog, or rather the name of the corporate dog -- what am I saying here -- Pat is like the Pope, or Dr. Who, it is rather a title held by serial manifestations of the same entity than a proper name, and we chose it as a local reference, since Mackenzie King went to school here, and in fact a bronze statue of his youthful self can be seen sitting on the front lawn of Kitchener Collegiate Institute unless it's been stolen to sell for scrap as has happened to so many fine equestrian statues in the United Kingdom due to the high price of bronze. Good night. And so to bed ...
