Pre-Departure Orientation Toronto 2012
This weekend is the pre-departure orientation for new JETs leaving from Toronto.
I remember vividly my own pre-departure orientation back in 2002, and how much fun I had. It’s crazy that 10 years have passed since I was a newbie.
As is the tradition, a pub night was held today after the first day of orientation so that new JETs, alumni, as well as Japanese people can mingle and chat.
Met a lot of cool new JETs tonight. Got to share some of my stories from my time as a JET with the new JETs, and I can’t wait to hear their stories once they come back in a few years.
TCAF!
The Toronto Comic Art Festival (TCAF) is this weekend (May 5th and 6th)
I’ll be at table 122 with my buddy Josh selling books!
If you want to pick up an autographed copy of “Life After the B.O.E. the Book”, here’s your chance!
Hope to see you all there (^_^)
Book Launch Report
The “Life After the B.O.E. the Book” book launch event went amazingly, thanks to the incredible support and organizational skills of JETAA Toronto. Without the support of JETAA Toronto, this event just wouldn’t have been possible! Thank you so much!
Special thanks to Goodfellas Gallery for providing an awesome space to hold the event!
The turnout was fantastic! Thanks to everyone who made it, and all the encouraging messages from those who couldn’t make it that day!
