Moderating a Panel Discussion at The Masonic Temple

This afternoon I moderated a panel discussion in the inner sanctum of The Red Room at The Concert Hall in Toronto’s Historic Masonic Temple. The event was to support the launch of Gary Topp's new book He Highjacked My Brain and the panel included Gary Topp, Gary Cormier, Jeff Silverman, Colin Brunton and Ivar Hamilton.

All five of those gentlemen have visited my basement studio for long conversations about their respective careers, so this topic was right in my wheelhouse. We chatted for about 60 minutes before I took questions and comments from people in the audience. I will share this audio in its entirety in the Toronto Mike'd podcast feed later this week.

Here are FOTMs I saw at The Concert Hall today:

• David Quinton Steinberg
• John Borra
• Michael Hollett
• Rob Bowman
• Daniel Tate
• Shawn Chirrey
• Al Nolan
• Brian McCullough
• Kevin Howse
• Jeff Rogers
• Gary Cormier
• Derek Emerson
• Chris Turner
• Tyler Campbell
• Rob Preuss
• Tobias Vaughn
• Ivar Hamilton
• Colin Brunton
• Jeff Silverman
• Gary Topp

The Red Room was pretty cool... and very red. I loved spending time in this historic venue.

As usual, I commuted to 888 Yonge Street on bike, the civilized way to travel around town, taking advantage of the wonderful Bloor Street bike lane.
