16-18 June 2000

Ten members of the PMEB and British Mercury revisited in Toronto — where we gathered three years ago for the premiere of Fairytale — for a weekend celebrating all that is Paul.

The weekend featured panels on Paul's acting and music, an acting class (where we truly realized how talented Paul is... and how bad we were!), a charity auction that raised US $400 (no small feat since there were just 10 of us!) and the North American premieres of Fish and Streets of Yesterday, which soon became known as "Shirts of Yesterday" thanks to the many different sytles (and hues and patterns...) of jerseys Paul wore in it!

Over the three days, wine flowed aplenty and we Canadians introduced our American cousins to the wonder that is Nanaimo bar desserts. Attendees received a bag of goodies featuring an art print of the 8th Doctor by well-known fan artist Martin Proctor and a special message from Paul (reprinted in the Fall 2000 issue of British Mercury's newsletter).

	The PMEB quilt — made with love and featuring several images of Paul in different roles — was on display. (Click on the pictures with borders to see larger versions.)

	The charity auction featured lots of gorgeous photos and artwork by Mary Ellen and Denise.
	Paul told us to "enjoy today and misbehave." How could we disappoint him? Back: Judy, Lynn, Sheri Middle: Denise, me, Patricia, Marilyn Front: Mary Ellen, Steph, Carole
