Like CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, E.T. is bathed in warmth, and it seems to clear all the bad thoughts out of your head. It reminds you of the goofiest dreams you had as a kid, and rehabilitates them. (1982)

And we’re back today, until 5:00. Drop by if you can. Yay.

Starting right now at Word on the Street. Table IA23. By a wacky coincidence, I'm next to Silva Redigona again.

If you’re afraid of movies that excite your senses, you’re afraid of movies. (1978)

Word on the Street is back tomorrow, and once again, I'm an exhibitor on both days. Drop by table IA23 in Indie Alley to say hello, perhaps buy one of my two books, Hate Story and Performance Reviews.

And if we're talking about a celebration, I can think of no better way to honor what would've been Henson's 90th birthday than with this, a cornerstone of the Muppet property:

Welcoming figure, from the Royal B.C. Museum. I think the Chinguacousy Library in Brampton had a similar sculpture when I was little, and it was a little scary.

Pics from walking tour. Including a closer look at the harbour and Victoria's first brick hotel.

More totems, by the Royal B.C. Museum. I assume these are authentic ones.

Victoria City Hall... the actual front entrance this time. Also a nineteenth-century fireman bell, now a memorial.

Statue of Emily Carr and her monkey, plus a doggy. Also a better shot of the Empress Hotel, now that the sun had the courtesy to shine from the right direction.

Of course the whale's only thought is "Oh no, not again."

Because I know you're breathlessly keeping track: I have now been to nine of the Canadian provincial capitals. I expect the tenth (St. John's) will come next year. (Fredericton and Charlottetown were when I was nine, and I barely remember them, but they surely count.)

Jeff Cottrill @jeffcottrill.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

City Hall, the Empress Hotel, the B.C legislature, and the Harbour.

At last, the fabled Douglas Street. I know of it only because, in the Canadian Monopoly game from the '80s, Douglas Street was Boardwalk. (Because the street order ran from east to west. Yonge and Bay and Sussex Drive were the red properties.) Would you buy it for four hundred dollars?

Well, that was the shortest flight ever. (Vancouver to Victoria) Time in the air was less than one-third my typical bus ride to work.

Ready to go at @wordvancouver.bsky.social. Starts in three minutes, but folks are already wandering about...

Jeff Cottrill @jeffcottrill.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Apparently there's a B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame on Granville Street. Mostly folks I've never heard of. Also Diana Krall, Bryan Adams, Sarah McLaughlin, Nickelback (I thought they were from Alberta?), and... Terry David Mulligan? I remember him from MuchMusic. Has he done other stuff?

Two doors down from my hostel is an independent theatre, running a new play about Oscar Wilde. (The playwright's here tonight too.)

Exploring Granville Island. (I wish I'd known Fringe was on this week. My plans might’ve ended up somewhat different.)

A few shots at the Police Museum. (The lion costume was used for the Vancouver Police Department's Lion Dance Team. Something to do with Chinese New Year.) There was also a sad video about a police dog that lost its life in service.
