The original Lethbridge blog.
I got an email from a publicist the other day giving me a heads up that Calgary electro-pop duo Sidney York is playing at The Slice on January 25th. I always am happy when bands call on little ol' me for exposure because I get to listen to new albums before they're out! Today, in …
Sometimes, being on the wrong side of the law can feel so good, like that time I crossed the street when the hand was flashing orange. The exhiliration! This year I am volunteering with the Canadian Cancer Society for their annual Jail-N-Bail campaign! Jail-N-Bail involves mock arrests of willing and fun-loving participants who are taken to a …
I stumbled upon this weekly webcomic by Illustrator Eric Dyck. Heh, this sums Lethbridge up: Slaughterhouse Slough
Here's a big, fat NOPE that I found on Reddit, which actually turned out to be an installation by Lethbridge artist Kindra Shaw. Still, no thanks!
He's the host of CBS' The Late Late Show and he's literally coming to Lethbridge. Our little city is getting a mention, along with a few chuckles on air: Just For Laughs is thrilled to announce that Scottish comedian and festival favorite Craig Ferguson will be hitting select Canadian cities this fall with his witty and hilarious stand up performance aptly …
It's known to most who read the newspaper (I mean, who doesn't) that the Galt Museum occasionally holds scotch or beer tasting events. However this time, it's the SAAG who's putting on a Craft Beer Festival on October 19th, the same day as the Japan Film Festival. Oh, the hard choices in life… Like fine …
Our city has its fair share of trails and pathways, what with the coulees and river bottom. My friend Cody at ISO Foto Studios put together a montage of what it's like to bike around down there in the fall season:
Now that Word on the Street and Arts Days are finally over, here comes some real culture. The Consulate General of Japan in Calgary and the Japan Foundation present the 2013 JAPAN FILM FESTIVAL in Lethbridge, featuring 2 contemporary Japanese films at the Movie Mill on October 19th. Both shows are in Japanese with English …
Basically, you can see some family-friendly movies for either free or a twoonie, while also enjoying ridiculously cheap (by cinema standards) snacks and pop! All proceeds go to Alberta Flood Relief.
Now taking bets for a Canada Day flooding downpour.
So there was this one time where I was big on Twitter and it just so happened that I won a contest. Courtesy of the National Music Centre in Calgary, I won this weird music contraption called a Korg Monotron. However my doppelganger, Bonnaventure James, also entered this contest and was insanely jealous. To the point …
Awhile ago, when this whole "occupy" fad was still big, I posted one of Leeroy Stagger's latest songs from his new album, "Truth Be Sold." It's now available for purchase from his website, but thanks to the CBC you can listen to the WHOLE THING for free online. Sorry for the no embed, but CRTC …
Yo, it's Free Comic Book Day, so head over to your local comic book shoppe! There may or may not be a cute girl cosplaying at Showcase Comics. I have yet to see this, but will ensure to give my best hoverhand if my mom will let me go.
When the Lethbian Lover doesn't get the shakes from withdrawl, he is a connoseur of fine wines and great value. So, of course he frequents Costco Liquor. And being in exceptionally good spirits (see what I did there?), sent a little love to the Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation. Next time you're getting your drink-on, throw a …
"Creating Arts in Southern Alberta" – Who wants to bet they thought of this after the backlash? Anyway, the grand opening for the new arts centre is from May 14-18.
