@Corey_Larocque Man that's really sad - my sympathies to the current Iqaluit staffers. I have lots of memories working out of that building...

[John Thompson @jayjeetee]

@austinkleon Nice opening. What book is it from?

[John Thompson @jayjeetee]

@evaholland Congrats Eva!

[John Thompson @jayjeetee]

@KentDriscoll @paddytook @naziwanorth @arviamiut I was there! Pretty amazing.

@KentDriscoll End of an era! Looking forward to hearing about what's next.
