Media Alert for Gung Haggis Fat Choy:
Global TV with Erin Cebula's Global Village
Erin Cebula interviewed me on Monday evening, just prior to the start of the GHFC World Poetry Night at the Vancouver Public Library.  I had first met Erin when she was co-hosting Urban Rush on Rogers, in 2004.  That interview was all about the then upcoming CBC tv special "Gung Haggis Fat Choy."

In 2004, we hosted 2 GHFC dinners on the Saturday and the Sunday, each around 220 to 240 people attending.  I brought some haggis won-ton to the show which Erin easily tried... but her co-host Russell took a pass.

"I'm the one with the stomach of steel," laughed Erin, when I recounted our first meeting.

This time Erin was amazed that our little dinner has grown into an informal  festival with four related events.  She wanted to feature me for her show "Global Village" and also asked for some pictures of previous dinners to show the audience what it was like.  I sent her a picture of the 2005 dinner with myself and then Mayor Larry Campbell - both dressed in Chinese jackets with our kilts!

Look for Global Village to be running from today and through to next week!
