...about Paul Quarrington today. Whale Music was a seminal part of modern Canadian culture, but, unsurprisingly, my fannish connections with him are through the other Paul: Whale Music of course, PQ's behind the scenes articles about Men With Brooms (most memorably when he got 'fired' by PG for not actually doing anything, and so just played around with the stuff in PG's office), not to mention their obvious connections on Due South. In many ways the two men's careers have been intertwined from the beginning, and so they proved to the end as the two men apparently spent Paul Q's final night playing Scrabble online. It seems an oddly fitting tribute to their friendship in many ways.
