Not to mention a cosplay competition…I'm betting on …
After mentioning the Chinook in my last post, I came to realize that outsiders might have no clue as to what the hell that is. Our city’s unofficial slogan is, “Get blown in Lethbridge!” For your consideration: At first, one might be led to believe that this young gentleman is impersonating Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball,” …
When our Chinook isn’t breathing her gentle 130 km/h winds in Southern Alberta, Old Man Winter takes over and loads upon us ice and snow. But who doesn’t like a good dump once in awhile? Now, let’s toboggan! Step 1: Gear up on the cheap First things first, if you’re like me and can’t afford …

For all Molson claims to have maintained the integrity of the Old Style Pilsner label, there's that one nagging question that comes to every drunkard's mind: how many rabbits on a Pilsner label? You see three at first, then have another beer and see four. Then they change the label, get hate, only to change it back …
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 …

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.
