Ink Drinks Winnipeg! November 28th, 2009
I love Karen Walton’s brainchild Ink Canada, a web-based gathering spot for Canadian screenwriters of all levels to mix and mingle.
Through InkDrinks, InkCanada also advocates taking time periodically to step away from the keyboard, get out of the house and meet each other live and in person. It helps to know that there are others in the same city working through similar issues, and it helps to share ideas and resources with each other.
InkDrinks have taken place in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and even LA. But never before in Winnipeg! To correct this, with the help of writer-director Danishka Esterhazy, we brought the event to the Peg last night.
We had over 20 people at our very first event. It was a fantastic night. From both a writer and producer perspective, it was great just to find out who is out there writing. Everyone met at least a couple of new folks. We’ll definitely do it again in February or March so if you’re interested in coming out, watch for it on facebook by  joining Ink Canada.
