When I was cub scout age in Calgary a guy from the left hand side of the normal distribution decided to test the safety of the ice on the Glenmore Resevoir by driving his VW Beetle onto it. It was safe for skating but not for cars.

Probably designed and built outside of Calgary, imho. The Daytona 500 is a Michelin Red Book destination compared to the Stampede.

This is how a dog can fire a gun...

I did exactly the same thing when I was a kid in Calgary.

I saw them play this song live in Calgary. It was good. Not zero-G vomit-comit good, but still good.

I appreciate that many of their songs have a theme of trying stay positive, which has helped me work through some depression.

Yep, I was facepalming over that line. Reminds me of when I was about 10 in Calgary we used to go ice-skating on the Glenmore Resevoir. One dude wanted to go skating with his kid but wasn't sure if the ice was safe enough so he drove his car, himself, and his kid onto the ice to test it. The good news is it was safe enough for skating.

Okay,
So now I have to share my photo of me with Carrie & Ian (AKA, Emperor Palpatine.)

I was lucky enough to meet Carrie and Ian in Calgary. And yes, she's so awesome to talk to, she also likes to throw Glitter.
This photo was taken the week before she had to start her diet for the new movie, which she joked about at the time.

sorry for the bad scan...

Great feedback, Thanks

Yes, I assumed line-ups, but not to the point of killing the experience.
I go to the Con in Vancouver and in Calgary and they are pretty decent..., What We don't get are all the promotional exclusives and swag.

The floor would be my biggest expectation, but the event may be outselling it's location. More people than space. Good thoughts, I'll consider.., But still, it sounds like a party all the same..

Wow! I could never get down a slope like that without an ambulance or air lift. I had to look up the impressive fellow with the skills to make it down in one piece and film.

Calgary Expo rocked this year.

Hmm, well in Western Canada we have a different approach. In Calgary they just ignore it, and here in Vancouver we just huddle up in our warm jammies sipping cocoa until it goes away.

From Calgary Herald:
Call it a tragic turn of events or a bald-faced lie. Rumours began circulating Thursday afternoon that Canadian pop star Justin Bieber had been diagnosed with cancer, prompting an outpouring of support from avid Beliebers – many of whom went as far as shaving their heads.

The gossip mill initially began spinning out of control thanks to a tweet from Entertainment Tonight’s official Twitter account (@ETonlineAlert) that stated:

“Pop star Justin Bieber was diagnosed with cancer earlier this morning. Bieber fans are shaving their heads to show support.”

The tweet was quickly deleted, but not before #BaldForBieber began trending.

No official comment regarding the rumours has surfaced from the 18-year-old star, however, his bodyguard Kenny Hamilton took to his Twitter account (@KennyHamilton) to deny the cancer diagnosis.

The Calgary Zoo has been described as being at least partially in Canada. Just sayin'.
