Summer art
With the Art Gallery of Alberta announcing their fall lineup today, it’s a good time to check out their summer offerings, if you haven’t done so already.
Exhibits winding down their time at the AGA include M.C. Escher: The Mathmagician, The Art of Warner Bros. Cartoons, and Jonathan Kaiser’s Celestial Bodies. These shows will be gone when most of the new ones are open to the public.
November will bring with it more changes, so if you want to see any of the current showcases, you better find some time in your dayplanner.
Also, don’t run down to the AGA after you read this. They aren’t open Mondays.
A new radio station!
Edmonton’s got a new radio station, its 1,298th on the FM dial.
Well, it only feels like that many. Though we have added a half-dozen stations in the last couple of years. (Sonic, Bounce, Hot 107, Magic, Now, and iNews880 flipped from Cool880. And there’s at least one more pending launch, that I can think of.)
And Now is going to play (from the sound of their introduction) pop and chart hits…like EZ Rock, the Bounce, Hot 107…and a few slightly older and rockier hits, like Joe or maybe a Sonic or Bear-lite. Because people love having options.
And Sally’s Juggalo News Network wasn’t approved?! What is up with that CRTC?
Anyway, turn off your iPod and check it out.
Now.
And yes, those “When?” and “Soon.” billboards were all about the new Rawlco radio station in Edmonton. They now say “Now.”
But just like the Aug 5 signs, some crafty Edmontonians figured it out. You guys are like Sherlock Holmes or something.
