You need balloons to have a proper party. (Photo: Alain Saffel)
Oh man, this is a good weekend.
There’s the Edmonton Folk Music Festival down in the river valley. Cariwest is downtown. We’ve already told you about some cool art openings and a rock-your-face-off metalfest.
But there’s more! And the weather even looks to be co-operating.
Fort Saskatchewan is playing host to a videogame festival that goes by the name of Fragapalooza. It’s BYOC.
Sunday is Ukrainian Day, which means there will be loads of fun over at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village and likely a few Uke-themed parties around the city. (I know Ceili’s is having one…)
And there’s Latin Fest! Did you know about this?
And the other thing you can do, especially if you’re a child of the 80s, is watch a John Hughes movie or two.
Whatever you do, be careful out there.
p.s. remember that the LRT is not running south of the river after 7pm
I find it hilarious and fabulous that Jeff’s standing there holding balloons… in front of a UFC poster.
Kick. Ass.
the man is an onion. SO MANY LEVELS!
And that UFC is…this weekend.
I just blew your mind.
I’d been trying to figure out why there were so many hilarious cosplayers running around downtown, rushing back and forth between Denny’s and MacEwan… turns out it’s (or, was) Animethon this weekend!!!!
there are some out-of-date photos here:

This one’s a classic:

AN EPIC BATTLE IN FRONT OF CAMPUS CONVENIENCE, WHILE A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE KIND OF PAY ATTENTION. I’m pretty sure they’re dueling over the pile of coffee filters on the floor.
I totally forgot about that when writing this!
It was even on my list of things for the weekend.
I think I just got distracted by my John Hughes mourning.
