Cancer.
It’s a word that is heard all too often by way too many people. It is very rare to find anyone who has not been touched in some way by cancer, myself included.
To raise the money to beat the monster that is cancer there are walks and runs of all shapes and sizes [...]



Outside the gates of Folk Fest

Jul 24th, 2010 | Category: Arts

by Katie Turner
While the music may be happening behind the fences of Calgary’s Folk Music Festival, there’s a different kind of party outside the gates.
Friday afternoon saw hundreds of festival-goers waiting in line from the main gates all the way to the pedestrian bridge across Memorial Drive.
This is a common occurrence during the four-day festival [...]



Sled Island Day 1, part 2

Jul 1st, 2010 | Category: News

It became clear early on that there was no way I was going to be on time for every show.
Heck, it quickly became clear that I would likely not stay for a whole set if I wanted to check out more than a few bands in one night.

What better way to spend a lovely Tuesday afternoon than a lovely road trip to Banff National Park? There is no better way really, especially when you pack your camera and a couple good friends along
which is exactly what I did yesterday (June 29).
Yes, this is a blog about Calgary and all it’s [...]



Taking time to stop and smell the lilacs

May 30th, 2010 | Category: Blogs

As the adage goes, “April showers bring May flowers,” which for the most part is true but if you live in Calgary not only do we have flowers lately, we also have rain, snow and wind.
I’m a fan of the snow. I don’t mind the cold and like to get out and see what’s shakin’ in [...]

The term blog has found its way into society’s vocabulary, and permeated the way we think about communication. But what is a blog, and why are they so important?
Straight from the dictionary, the word blog is described as: “a website that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided [...]



Spirit of Olympic fever lingers in Canada

Apr 13th, 2010 | Category: Columns, Web Exclusives

By Arielle Muriel
St. Patrick’s day has come and gone. Easter weekend saw families and friends get together. The Flames aren’t going to win the cup. The world has gone back to normal after the whirl of The Olympics. If someone honks in the road these days it’s probably because somebody wasn’t paying attention, not because [...]

With finals on the way, most students can feel the growing stress associated with this time of year. Many put themselves into overdrive and suffer from some long nights of studying. Everyone has his or her own ways of de-stressing but some students are unknowingly adding onto the stress they already feel.

Beating boredom: Marathoning it up

Mar 4th, 2010 | Category: Beating Boredom

So I’ve recently purchased a TV series on DVD, which I will try not to go into to much detail about, as my friends can attest to, I won’t stop talking about it once I get going. All I’ll say is: 21 Jump Street… watch it. Amazing.
But in the past weeks that I have been [...]



A safe haven for cinephiles

by Sean-Paul Boynton
Before digital video, IMAX, and Avatar, there was Super 8mm and 16mm film. Largely used by amateur moviemakers during their heyday, these formats
have also been adopted extensively by both indie filmmakers
– such as Kevin Smith (Clerks) and Jim Jarmusch (Coffee and Cigarettes) – as well as mainstream directors looking to add a little [...]
