Great to see the hardworking and humble Chris Robinson get some much-deserved ink recently. Chris, who wrote about the National Gallery’s Rocket Richard exhibit in Guerilla #2, has been integral in building the annual Ottawa Animation Festival into a world-class event (http://ottawa.awn.com). Now he’s being feted for his authorship in another of Ottawa’s venerable events, the Ottawa International Writer’s Festival.

Chris’s book, I Stole this From a Hockey Card, has received positive reviews across the board. Part biography, part autobiography, the book mingles the life of the author with that of Montreal Canadiens legend Doug Harvey. Chris reads from it tonight at 7 p.m. at the Library and Archives of Canada.

By the way, how many times has Chris been told he’s a dead ringer for Stephen Paige of Barenaked Ladies?
