FAMILY: 30th Kids Fest treats fans to $250,000 CirCo spectacular
Hey kids! Remember how your parents dragged you to Cirque du Soleil and you were bored out of your mind? They promised non-stop action and laughs and fun and pure entertainment, but then it turned out to be a bunch of old creepy clowns that stood around holding umbrellas and riding giant bicycles to the […]
FISHEYE: Cloudy with a chance of landing
A seemingly endless, blank carpet of nothingness. You all know this as our overcast skies lately, and into it the returning traveller must plunge headlong – Edmonton from 20,000 feet and dropping. Neptune. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and […]
FISHEYE: Smoking up in Austin
Unfortunately for you, we can only show you the smoke, not deliver the succulent smells, of the barbecued pork out back of Austin’s Continental Club, where singer Alejandro Escovedo has his usual SXSW wrap party. The gig included guests Lucinda Williams and Bob Dylan’s guitarist Charlie Sexton. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature […]
Demonika’s celebration of the underground at The Starlite
Listen: It’s a big, big world, the underground world, and if it’s going to be an interesting one as well, interesting enough for all of us, then everyone has to do their part. Everyone’s got a thing that they can do, and they’ve just gotta do it. Some will have to dress scantily so as […]
FISHEYE: Name this bird
Though ubiquitous in Austin, the common grackle seems to have found a niche magpies occupy in Edmonton – noisy garbage-eating machines that annoy locals and mystify the tourists. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out of the city.
FISHEYE: Photo of The Day
A dog by the name of Armadillo. Cutest thing in Texas by a mile, including how they named a terrible airport after George W. Bush. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out of the city.
FISHEYE: Photo of The Day
There is no age limit in either direction here at sxsw, though it would probably be pretty tough to be 350 years old unless you were a tree or something. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out of the […]
Seedy Sunday a chance to play dirty, veg out
I don’t know about anyone else, but it’s hard to think about gardening, in Edmonton, in March. Especially after this winter. So now, even with the bit of sunshine and warm weather we’ve seen in the last few days, you look outside and see that snow and ice on the ground and you can’t imagine […]
FISHEYE: Photo of the Day
Like a river of fur and leather, an estimated 1.5 million bats emerge from under the Congress Avenue Bridge in Austin, Tx. nightly. There is a supermoon tonight, meaning a full moon at its closest point in almost 20 years, which the bats hopefully appreciate. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish […]
REVIEW: Blue bayou
Dadeo New Orleans Diner and Bar 10548 82 Ave. (780) 433-0930 Edmonton’s foodie community, it has been noted, can be somewhat fervent. I’d like to think this is a natural extension of their shared passion for all things gastronomic. But the reality is that communities tend to just be fervent. Sometimes, the focus of that […]
FISHEYE: Boomtown Bob
Bob Geldof was waiting around in the lobby of his downtown hotel this afternoon, and was gracious enough to consent to a photo. He’s down here in Austin, Texas at SXSW (South by Southwest Music + Film + Interactive Conference), doing a keynote panel yesterday lamenting the sorry state of our gadget-lusting culture. Our regular […]
