Yes, it’s a Twitter hashtag, and it has to do with the worldwide event that occurred on May 17, when the band Sigur Rós live-streamed their upcoming album “Valtari” for one hour for all 24 time zones at precisely 7 p.m. respectively. That was a run-on sentence, but if a band played their album on…
A bit more of an even number and nearly twice the number of 127 Hours. However, neither Aron Ralston nor James Franco are desperately stuck in a canyon. This is the story of 40 men, playing a 10 and a half hour hockey game to raise money for the Alberta Children’s Hospital. And it’s happening…
Texting and driving is something that we’re all guilty of, and you’d either be a saint or a liar if you said you have never checked your phone while driving, regardless of whether you’re actually in motion (whoa, hello there daredevil) or at the red light. But in reality, it’s extremely dangerous. Why else would…
The River Café is widely known in Calgary as a great dine; one of the best in town. Nothing could be better than to head to a wonderful restaurant after strolling around Prince’s Island.
Where better to spend an afternoon than eating at the River Café in the heart of Calgary- that is, if you count the heart of Calgary as Prince’s Island Park.
On a fateful Saturday – March 24, 2012 – I spontaneously found myself at the Peace Bridge opening ceremony. Just west of Prince’s Island Park, hundreds of Calgarians gathered around the bridge, anticipating the bridge’s official opening.
When it comes to being fully equipped with a James Bond-esque snowboard, tweaked to allow for survival in case of emergency, the guys at Signal Snowboards have you covered. They present (probably the epitome of snowboard modifications) the Survival Split. Known for making awesome snowboards that come with rather odd features or that are made…
Joseph Kony is a relatively unknown name unless you’re among those who follow news that ended… six years ago. Perhaps breaking “olds” would be the more suitable name for the entire #StopKony/#Kony2012 campaign.
My vote is for the latter. A street vendor in China creates a dragon-shaped lollipop using nothing but a marble slab, a spoon, and some caramel. For something done so spontaneously, where every motion has an impact on the final product, this man is highly impressive. He uses caramel, potentially one of the most viscous…
Yes, fun. didn’t want to capitalise the “f” in “fun.” and the period is indeed there. How’s that for a totally indie band name. Well that’s besides the point. The band released their second studio album titled “Some Nights” on Feb 21. That’s two and a half years I’ve had to wait since their first…
Kids really do say the darndest things. Bill Cosby can vouch for that. But what would they say about marriage, a concept we presume they know very little about? Without a doubt, their responses are much more entertaining and at times, makes you wonder: how much of this world do children actually understand? A lot…
What do you get when you split one circle into four circles? And split those into four more, then do it a few more times? You get Koalas to the Max dot Com, a website where you scroll your mouse over coloured circles to split them up to a point where a recognisable image may…
Inspired by Bon Iver after such a great performance on the Feb 4 edition of Saturday Night Live, I thought it’d be appropriate to at least post this beautiful Bon Iver cover of Bonnie Raitt‘s 1991 classic “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” Justin Vernon performed this piece on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon with…
After months of hard work; whether it was contacting people, filming in multitudes of locations, editing and tediously putting clips together; our committee is proud to present to you: The Youth Week Calgary 2012 Video [youtube Uflto49tOQk] Remember when we told you that this time around, it was going to be absolutely legendary? Yeah, we…
With Youth Week Calgary coming up in just a few months, it’s apparent that a lot of people aren’t fully aware of what Youth Week actually is. Never fear though, I think I have the answers. Youth Week is an event that is celebrated worldwide as a week for youth to come out and enjoy…
