Kelly Hughes

Mayor of Winnipeg's Cultural City Hall

<p>Former bookstore Owner <strong>Kelly Hughes</strong> has been called "staccato and laconic" by poet M&eacute;ira Cook, "so funny I peed myself" by CBC Radio's Shelagh Rogers, and "off-putting, rude and tasteless" by an angry fellow named Chris. Kelly Hughes is the guy who hosts <a href="http://aquabooks.ca/kellyhugheslive.php">Kelly Hughes Live!</a>, writes <a href="http://aquabooks.ca/thisweek.php">This Week at Aqua Books</a>, was nearly sued by <a href="http://aquabooks.ca/campbells.php">Campbells Soup</a>, and was practically arrested by the <a href="http://aquabooks.tumblr.com/tagged/The_Great_Parking_Sticker_Snafu" target="new">Winnipeg Parking Authority</a>. Armed with nothing more than a few jokes and half a theatre degree from the U of W, he runs Aqua Books. Not wanting being a pre-teen TV star (Let's Go!) to be his only claim to fame, he created Aqua Books out of white glue, tissue paper, macaroni and half an egg carton. He had an adult help him with the scissors.</p> <p><br />Kelly is now Mayor of Winnipeg's Cultural Hall, the non-profit entity that has risen from the ashes of Aqua Books.</p>
