Tomorrow (Thursday, February 18) is the official book launch, finally, at Prohibition Gastro Pub & Oyster Bar at 696 Queen E. in Toronto, just a few doors west of Broadview. It’ll run from 7-9 pm, and among those I expect to attend are Richard Jesso, whose dad, George (Pony), was among the murder victims that night. Richard’s a nice, soft-spoken, but strong young man and he’ll be saying a few words. He’s also a ringer for his father, something that appeared to freak out killer Wayne (Weiner) Kellestine at his murder trial last fall.

Earlier in the day, I’ve got interviews at CHCH TV in Hamilton live at 8.20 am and CFRB live at 2.30 pm.  Hamilton’s a funny spot, as somehow it managed to have national presidents for both the Outlaws and Hells Angels: Mario (Mike, the Wop) Parente and Walter (Nurget) Stadnick, respectively. The Outlaws got an unexpected boost several years ago from the City of Hamilton, when they were paid for their rundown clubhouse by the city, when streets were being widened. The Hells Angels also weren’t left out of official largesse.  A Hells Angels in Hamilton got a contract (not the scary kind of contract, the business kind) to pave the parking lot of a local police station.
