I-330 wants me to do a book review of the work she gave me. I think if I have to do one, she ought to do one as well. She of course had read it previously, hence the selection; but it would be interesting to have her contribute her thoughts of the work to the post.
On another note, I've been wondering how it is that musicians in the Metro establish a sequence for performing or if there is a pecking order, especially for the prime spots. The one where I work is quite popular with the 'musicians'. In quotes because they certainly all are not. Far from it.
Do they have to register? Doesn't seem so.
Must they qualify? Doubtful.
If they must qualify are their spots poached by fakers? Most certainly.
Would it be more interesting if they were Fakirs? Damn right.
If a musician with a higher standing in the pack mentality of these musicians is challenged by a subordinate, what conflict ensues?
This could become a Discovery Channel special feature...
There is a wide variety of talent exhibited, that range also depending on who the person is that is enjoying or having the experience inflicted upon.

I think each musician has to register with the authorities (service centre at Berri-UQAM) before signing up to play.
As for getting dibs on a spot, you see that 'harp' sign on the walls where the performers work their magic? Behind the sign there's always a 'set list' and the musicians have to sign up there as well in order to get the spot. As far as I understand, the rules are respected well enough.
