Yes, put them together! I kid you not, it’s happening this weekend… The Calgary Motorcycle Show takes place at the BMO Centre from January 8th to the 10th. There will be a Manufacturer Showcase of the new 2010 motorcycles, a SHE Rides Night where admission is halved for ladies, and a Motor Madness Thrill Show…
Since we’re on the topic of Harry Potter, CTV news has quite an interesting article about something related… That’s right, Canada’s McGill University is the first university in Canada to have an official Quidditch team! (Shame on you if you had to click the Wiki link for Quidditch. 😉 ) Two months ago, they competed…
Officially, the city isn’t actually doing much. But with these new Idling Reduction Signs, YOU can do something! There are currently two signs you can put up (as long as they’re not installed on City right-of-way…I actually have no idea what this means, would anyone like to clarify?). One of them reads Idle Free Zone,…
Yup, I’m back with another blurb about Taylor Swift… 😀 But first off, she turned 20 yesterday (December 13th). Happy Birthday Taylor! Hope you have a great 20th! Next… a new song! But this one doesn’t involve her singing. Instead, Evan Taubenfeld has quite an original song about her: Merry Swiftmas (Even Though I Celebrate…
This past weekend, Calgary’s Santa Shuffle went on, regardless of the blizzard from the night before! About 400 Calgarians participated in the event, despite the strong winds that day. Not only was the weather just windy=, but it was also cold, icy, and generally miserable (can you sense my dislike of the cold?!). Props to those of you who went…
That’s right, the Santa Shuffle Fun Run & Elf Walk is here! This Saturday (or tomorrow!), December the 5th, 10:00am, at Eau Claire Market, you can run 5km or walk 1km around Prince’s Island Park to benefit those in need of the Salvation Army’s Services. This annual event is held…
In the past few days, some pretty awesome websites have been discovered. How awesome? Warm fuzzy feelings awesome. Over the next week and a half, Alice and I will each shed some light on these websites. So by now, I’m sure we all know about FMyLife (FML). And thanks to this, we also know about…
In light of all the recent changes in regards to education, I thought I’d also mention this change as well. Alberta Education is changing its math curriculum next September (in 2010). Instead of students having to choose between two math courses, pure and applied, students now have three choices when transitioning into high school. In…
It’s Remembrance Day once again, and I’d like to draw some attention to a certain music video. Terry Kelly’s A Pittance of Time was released a few years ago, but I still like to look back on it around this time of year. It carries a strong message about Remembrance Day in today’s times—do we…
Vancouver and Edmonton have both experienced Make It. Guess who’s next… Calgary! Just in time for the holiday season that’s around the corner too. WHAT is Make It? Make It is the handmade revolution. It is an event where you can shop for ethically made, one-of-a-kind handmade items from over 50 of Canada’s hottest emerging…
So I’m sure you’re all familiar with Taylor Swift’s Love Story… But what about Thug Story? She’s eight foot four and rapping hardcore… 😉 [youtube s_9850zW0RM 375 300] Taylor Swift and T-Pain performed this song in June 2009 at the CMT Music Awards, so this is still pretty recent. I’ve listened and watched this more…
For those who think it’s too early to be thinking about a career… I beg to differ! It’s never too early to think about your future. Not to put any pressure on you or anything; I personally have no idea what I’m going to be doing in university let alone what I’m going to do…
Remember six-word memoirs? Well, I have something that’s the complete opposite of it: NaNoWriMo! Now, I have no idea how you would pronounce that in its shortened form, but it stands for National Novel Writing Month. The point of it? To write a novel that’s 50 000 words long…in just one month! (Crazy? Maybe. Fun?…
That’s right, Lights is coming to Calgary! I am psyched. 😀 On November 12th, she will be performing at MacEwan Ballroom at 8:00pm. As far as I know, tickets are still available via Ticketmaster or Live Nation—and they’re only $20 apiece! (But please note that this is without service charges and whatnot.) [and while we’re…
Are you interested in the many theatre, dance, music and visual arts events in Calgary? Are tickets to these events often costly? And are these costly tickets stopping you from attending these events? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then LiveRush is totally your thing! [See, I could be an amazing salesperson.]…
