On Monday, I got to go to the Tutti Frutti Sneak-a-Peek and get the inside scoop on the newest dining addition to downtown Calgary. I brought my friend Srinjoy to the VIP opening and we ate, took notes, took pictures, ate, spoke to the owners, we ate some more, and admired the place (seriously the…
On Sunday, Richie and I went down to Dutton Theatre on the 2nd floor of Central Library to check out this Story Slam Competition. There was a $5 admission fee, and it was actually something completely new to me and worth the money.
