If you want to find Other Places Books (and guest author @sillysyntax.bsky.social) at the Winnipeg Queer Book Fair tomorrow (at Victoria Inn), this may help:

It's a drawing showing the locations of tables at the book fair. The tables are numbered. At the left is the entrance. At the right end of the center rows are tables 16 and 31. Those are the Other Places Books tables. We're right in front of the book nook reading area, which is at the very end.

Last year, I went to a very disappointing Worldcon panel which reminded me how privileged a lot of writers are and how we inherently associate community access with wealth. So anyway, if you DON'T want to just be told how you need to go on a retreat for the 5000th time, check this one out!
