What to do, what to do
Yes indeed, we’ve made it through another week.
Martin Kerr was out at the Beverley Farmers' Market. Maybe you'll see him at the first Downtown market of the summer, this Saturday.
So, let’s find you something fun to do.
Not to brag, but I bet, maybe even as you’re reading this, I’m having the most weekend fun of all. The dentist is yanking one of my wisdom teeth out.
Have fun with your non-pain pill related events, suckers.
If you’re an Edmonton politics fan you may already know the Alberta Liberal Party is holding their convention and AGM this weekend.
The Tallest Man on Earth is playing a sold out show at Brixx. He’s not actually that tall.
Everybody’s favourite band (to say) is playing the Avenue Theatre tonight. It’s Fucked Up.
More local, Saturday will see the first Joe Bird Award. It’s a bit of a celebration over at the Empress Ale House.
#YegHelp is this Saturday night. That’s a big fundraiser for the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. There’s a fashion show too. Plus, I’ll link to most anything with a #Yeg in it.
Almost a #Yeg, the public teachers are hosting a tweetup tonight.
Maybe this will be the weekend you finally check out lawn bowling. Maybe.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the E-Ville Roller Derby girls are having a championship this weekend. Have you seen roller derby in E-town yet?
Of course, the summer blockbuster movies just keep on coming!
There’s a 2010 Alberta Comedy Spectacular being recorded for the CBC in St. Albert.
Ooh, and the Found Footage Festival is on tonight!
Meanwhile…over at Share Edmonton…
The Edmonton Energy return to the basketball floor!
There will be plenty of running and walking this weekend with the Community Action Dash and Enerflex MS Walk.
Don’t forget, the ESO is always a good choice. This weekend, they’ve got a wonderful soprano in, to sing Schubert.
And, I don’t normally look beyond the weekend, but I fear I’ll forget to mention A Night of Highwire Films, which is happening Wednesday. There!
Scrambled #yeg
This one has no real rhyme or reason. This is just a random assortment of stuff I’ve found while wandering the streets of Edmonton looking for ideas, inspiration and beer. Not necessarily in that order.
Please point me in the direction of random things, or send me your photos/links to your photos.
You never know who you’ll bump into at the farmers’ market. Why, that’s Edmonton’s own Martin Kerr. A singer-songwriter (and one-time Canadian Idol contestant, but I wouldn’t know much about that).
This one was so bad (pun?) it was too good to not run over and snap a picture.
This one comes in two parts. There’s a collection of couches in an empty lot…
And way down there, on that green couch, you can see a box…of course it’s filled with…
Videos? I guess. This reminded me of the time I removed a shopping cart from our parking lot. It was full of clothing, random garbage, some food (mostly mustard) and a VHS copy of Mon Oncle Antoine.
About this next one…I just want to point out that if they’re looking down to see these on the sidewalk they’ve already crashed or are about to…
No wheels on Whyte
We all need to know what happened here…
Did a guy kick out a car window, jump, then rip his underwear off and run? If so, was he wearing just underwear prior to the escape?
Or did he kick in a car window from the street, and have to remove his underwear for some unknown reason? A lot of questions but no answers right now.
