View Article  First Reaction to Saturday's Dinner
I will write more later about the food on VanEats and more later about the dinner in general on this blog, but here are some first, brief impressions:

The food was even better this year. Haggis Wun-Tun, and haggis spring rolls were new and excellent additions (even better than on our haggis test drive)! And I loved the crab and chicken.

As always I was blown away by Brave Waves! Their new tabla player blew Barb and I away. We liked their music so much we bought another one of their CDs. At $10, it's a bargain! One of the few CDs we will buy in 2004 since I no longer buy music from record stores because I don't want to support the music business. I only buy direct from artists at concerts or events like this where you know the artist not getting ripped off by a middle man.

Here are some of my GungHaggisFatyChoy2004 Sat24Jan2004 photos.

2004 Gung Haggis Fat Choy poster.

Designed by Honey Mae of Azimuth Designs.  Photo by Don Montgomery.

This poster is lots of fun.  I think it really captures the essence of Gung Haggis Fat Choy.  Definitely something old, something new, something borrowed, something wacky!

Yes... that is me, Toddish McWong, the man beneath the mask.
