This is the story of how I went to the Inglewood Sunfest, missed a pie-eating contest, and stayed for some politics.
It's too bad I missed the pie, because I had this picture from Harold and the Purple Crayon all ready to post. Harold was a boy who had his priorities straight: he was hungry, he had to draw something tasty and edible, and so he drew pie. Of course, pie makes me think of my friend Phil Nel's blog, which is about Phil's "...many and varied obsessions. Children’s books. Music. Comics. Humor. Ideas of all sizes and shapes. And probably some advice." And which is named "Nine Kinds of Pie."
But this really has nothing to do with my Sunfest expedition, which was supposed to be about seeing what Gian-Carlo Carra was up to, as his campaign for Calgary Ward 9 Councillor moves ahead toward the October 21 vote.

That looks like Vance is saying "daddy!" as he reaches up for his mommy! But no - he was saying "daddy" as he reached up towards the poster that was hanging behind her - which featured the Sesame-Street-inspired street sign that I drew here, but also a picture of Gian-Carlo. You can see the real poster here - along with (I only just discovered) a rather less cartoony picture I drew of Gian-Carlo! Ok, just thought that might need an explanation.
In case you didn't know by now: yes, I am the aforementioned 7-months-pregnant lady. Which is why I haven't been posting quite as much stuff up here over the past month or so. I'm hoping that when I have a few more things sorted out - like, finished the artwork I'm supposed to finish before I have this baby, and maybe got my house in order (I guess I should get a bassinet, or a cot, or a cradle, or something for this baby to sleep in...!?) - I'll be back with more!
By the way: the baby is due October 2nd. So I might have to take a bit of a break from some things... but I'm still planning to vote on October 21st!
