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.
If you like Korean dramas then you must have seen Winter Sonata. It was such a touching love story and because of it I went to the film scene where they shot Winter Sonata. There is one scene where the female and male main characters were sitting on a bicycle and riding through a road in the wood. This…
“You probably think that it’s too far to even have to care Well take a look at where you live… What if it happened there? You have to know the earths to make a change lies within And we can be the reason they see their flag rise again.” Who sings these lyrics? He’s an…
We’ve been raving about this four-day festival all year. Last week, the 2010 edition took over the city with over 200 bands at just under 25 venues throughout the downtown core and surrounding areas. This collaborative nature, intended to help festival goers “Discover a Live Calgary”, has helped Sled Island to become a staple event…
Mini Donuts. Cowboy Hats. The Zipper. The Calgary Stampede is almost here, and there’s lots to do for youth in Calgary! We can go get ourselves a tasty treat from one of the concession stands, go on one of the many rides on the grounds, or go watch a couple shows at the Coca Cola…
We all have those songs that we love to listen to…those songs that just get us going when we need that extra push. Whether you like the lyrics, the beat, or the music, something about the song just lifts you up. For me, this song is currently The Sky’s The Limit. Can you guess the…
I’m not a new music kind of guy. No, I’m just way to into the past. Well, maybe a little more than that. Let’s just go with plain obsessed. Everything before the 90’s, I like. Or it could be just anyone living through the 50’s. One thing that is for certain though is the rise…
On Nov 4th, 2001 a movie that amazed everyone was presented and that’s “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”. Over 10 years later this movie is still adored by many young people and is finally coming to an end. Joanne Kathleen Rowling wrote the last book of Harry Potter and the movie is coming out.…
On Sunday June 11th, two teams will face off in the finals of the FIFA World Cup to determine what nation will hold the title of 2010 champion. However, we still don’t know who those two teams will be. Uruguay and Holland face off on Tuesday at 12:30, and Germany and Spain play tomorrow at 12:30. All…
Usually you’ll find Shot At The Dark bringing you “Acoustic video recordings of your favorite and hidden musical talents in our amazing city” over at Calgary Is Awesome. Recently they shot Hannah Georgas in an abandoned farmhouse, and Said the Whale along 7th Avenue. But this weekend, they’re looking to shoot you. [vimeo 12814130]
I have read many books that involve friendship. But I don’t recall reading a book with friendship as its central theme, until this week. I would have preferred the book to be more modern but that would be an absurd demand. So this book takes place in the 30s and follows two traveling workers (George…
The other day I was switching between radio stations and I stumbled upon this upbeat catchy song. I was unable to catch the name of the artist but the tune was stuck in my head the rest of the day. The song made me smile and want to get up to do a happy dance.…
So, instead of me ranting of what’s wrong or right with the today’s reading materials and television programs, I will dole out a book that I think EVERYONE should read. Mostly because it truly is a true classic (That’s right, THAT’S HOW TRUE IT IS!). Some readers may have read it, others not. If you have…
I have a friend in Seoul named Jina. She used to go to the same school with me in Calgary, but due to the currency of Korean Won keep dropping her parents couldn’t afford to stay in Canada anymore so she went back to South Korea. When I went to Seoul, Jina and her family were…
“The answer is 42” that is perhaps my favorite quote from all the books I’ve read. I was looking for a book that’s funny and enjoyable for a youth audience. That’s when I came across this book. This book is the first installment of “a trilogy in five parts” it is a science fiction book…
