The book launch of Dina Del Bucchia's Coping With Emotions and Otters was quite unlike any launch I've seen: a human-sized otter dancing to Bon Jovi, a comedic panel on dealing with emotions, members of the audience reading their feelings about the author, a competition on how to betray a dolphin… this was an insanely entertaining night at Artspeak in Vancouver's Gastown. Compliments from Vicki Williams @ Talonbooks, the publisher: "Hello Ash - Wow, the photos look great! It look like everyone had a great time (and the cake looks yummy!)" and from Garry Thomas Morse @ Talonbooks: "Thanks for providing such a wonderful array of photos and for your encouragement of the arts in Vancouver!" Talonbooks features my photos on their site: http://talonbooks.com/meta-talon/more-than-a-thousand-words-coping-with-emotions-and-otters-launch
