The fun stuff. Calgary has a ton of amazing stuff that happens in our city. Reviews of new movies, or albums, art shows or news about sports.

Hey you. Yes you. You right there. Have you ever dreamed of becoming a cowboy? (- Or even better: a cowgirl!) ‘Course you have!

I’ve only recently been introduced to them by my art teacher. Essentially, the artist uses a sharp tool to scratch away the thin top layer of black…
I took this photo at Queen Elizabeth Garden in BC over spring break. It may not seem like it now (it’s snowing – again?!), but spring’s coming to Calgary too… sooner or later =P

Starring Sam Worthington and Elizabeth Banks, Man On A Ledge is simply an overexaggerated heist thriller with a different twist, in my opinion.
