For them as what's in the general area of Kitchener/Waterloo (Ontario, Canada); here's a copy of a missive that landed in my emailbox today.


Subject: Celebration this Wednesday, in Kitchener - Bloomsday


"Bloom in Kitchener" Celebrating 100 years of James Joyce's Bloomsday. A lyrical love-in of literary loquaciousness and laudatory lib(er)ations.

TIME:   A sing-along, talk-along, read-along on Wednesday June 16 at 7:30 pm at the Walper Terrace Hotel, King/Queen Sts, Kitchener.

On that day in 1904, Stephen Dedalus and Leopold Bloom each took their epic journeys through Dublin in James Joyce's "Ulysses" the world's most highly acclaimed modern novel. "Bloomsday" as it is now known, has become a tradition for Joyce enthusiasts all over the world. Suggested donation of $10 (or whatever you can afford). Proceeds to The Literacy Group of Waterloo Region. Period costume optional.

Supported by the Irish Studies Program, St. Jerome's University Waterloo.   See www.rejoycedublin2004.com - click on "Image Gallery"."
