Stop, in the name of love
Love of not getting speeding tickets that is.

This week the city/police turned a few red light cameras into regular photo radar cameras as well. That means you could get nabbed for running reds AND/OR speeding through the intersection.
We mentioned this in Wednesday’s headlines but after a few e-mails today I’ve gone back and noticed that none of the stories mentioned all of the locations.
So, here’s a reminder of all of the the places you’ll be ticketed (now and in the future) for running red lights and speeding through intersections.
Oh, and you could try to not to do it all, regardless of intersection. But I’m not the boss of you.
Here’s a handy map created by a lovely gentleman.
This list is from the Edmonton Police Service:

Who wants to see Green Go at the Hydeaway?
I occasionally get e-mails from record labels/PR folks letting me know that one of their bands are in town and may be of interest you guys. Most recently, it’s Guelph, Ontario’s Green Go, who are playing here tomorrow, twice – first, during the day over at Grant Mac’s back to school festivities, and then again tomorrow night at the Hydeaway, alongside Warrior Music, The Rivals and Protocol.
Now believe me, I need to fill a page as much as the next guy – but when it comes to music, I try to be as discerning as possible. Hats off to all you musicians out there, but some of you are terrible. (I can say that because I am also a musician, and sometimes, I am terrible. But let’s not make this about me). And if I go sending you guys to terrible stuff all the time, you’ll never believe me when I say anything.
My point here is that you should believe me when I say that Green Go is great. They sound kind of like a cross between the Go Team! and Electric Six. They have a song called Danger Bay, you guys. They’ve also been remixing a bunch of songs by other Canadian artists, including my favorite favorite favorites the Rural Alberta Advantage.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY – they are so pumped about their first tour out west that they’re giving us a pair of tickets for tomorrow night’s show at the Hydeaway AND and a song for you guys to download and check out.
So here’s an mp3 of Brains for Breakfast. Don’t say we never get you guys anything.
And if you would like to win the pair of tickets to tomorrow’s show, send an e-mail info@theedmontonian.com and tell us; Who the Mayor of Guelph is!
Gamer
Alright gang, it’s time for us to have a contest.
We have two double guest passes for the Thursday night showing of “Gamer,” which officially opens Friday.
Now, normally, we would give these away to two very lucky people – but since a) I think we’re all adults and can admit this movie looks like it might be a catastrophe and b) I hadn’t heard of “Gamer” until the passes fell into my hands – we’re giving one person both passes. Because the best way to enjoy a potentially terrible movie you haven’t heard of is with a posse of friends.
If you would like to win these passes and take 3 of your lucky friends to the Thursday, September 3rd showing of ”Gamer” (it’s at Empire City Centre Theatres at 9 p.m., btw) – please make up your own alternate tagline ( the real one is “Who’s Playing You?”) for this movie, and post it in the comments. We’ll throw all (read=any)of the entries into a hat and draw at the end of the day.
Also, if you win, it would be nice if you could send us an e-mail and let us know if the movie’s any good. I’m just sayin’.
FTW – No Doubt Tickets
proof of tickets!
YES, my friends. It’s true. We have a pair of tickets to the Paramore/No Doubt show tomorrow night at Rexall place that we’re just itchin’ to give away. But before we get to that, I have to give you a little backstory.
So I’m in a band. And the drummer in that band is my good friend, Ryan Dunford. Ryan and his lovely wife, Miss Kristin Reeves, had tickets to see No Doubt. Good ones, too (Sec.122, Row 17, seats 22 & 23). But sadly, Ryan and Kristin can’t go – so they want you to enjoy it in their place. Thanks Dunfords!
In the interest of time and fairness (and acquiring more followers on twitter), we’re going to have a draw. And in order to qualify for the draw, you crazy kids have to get on twitter, and send out this message:
@theedmontonian GIVE ME THE NO DOUBT TIX! http://theedmontonian.com #dunfordisadrumgod
Don’t feel weird about this; trust me, HE IS.
We’ll make the draw at 3:00 p.m. – and we’ll announce the winner at 3:30 p.m. We’ll also notify the winner via twitter DM, and arrange for pickup.
As always, if you’ve won in the last 30 days, you can’t win this one. Sorry, winners. …can’t win ‘em all? (groan).
