Edmonton’s smallest festival is a family affair
Almost a week after the Edmonton Folk Music Festival wrapped up, the love lived on at a south-side park on Saturday where Edmonton’s Littlest Folk Festival marked two decades of celebrating its founder’s birthday. Dave Cunningham, who many people know as the interim executive director of the Film and Video Arts Society of Alberta, hosts […]
FISHEYE: Hudson’s Canadian Fur House
We should probably tear this down and put some condos up, too. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out of the city. More Fisheye photos here.
TRUE TALES OF THE FISH: Country Joe and the F***
Country Joe McDonald does not over-estimate his place in the pantheon of Voices of a Generation, as a leader in the Peace Movement of the 1960s, as a martyr for the cause of free speech in America, as a counter-culture hero for the great censorship debate that would lead us into a new golden age. […]
FISHEYE: Benched
Edmonton has spoken. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out of the city. More Fisheye photos here (if we’ve managed to fix the old links by the time you read this.)
TRUE TALES: Sex with Janis and the Edmonton Rock Music Festival
The question must be asked: What was it like making love to Janis Joplin? Her one-time creative partner Sam Andrew replies, “Feathery, light and very feminine – way more feminine than I would’ve thought. I knew her really well. It wasn’t surprising, though. She was definitely all woman.” It was just the one night of […]
FISHEYE: Gonzo

PREVIEW: Michael Rault’s funky journey heads to the ARTery
Michael Rault seems a little amused by the idea that the 50s/60s r-and-b/British Invasion fusion that marked his first CD sets him apart from…say, Luke Doucet and White Falcon, for whom he recently opened in Edmonton. Perhaps in part that’s because the latest of the local Rault clan to build a career on blues and […]
FISHEYE: Feline persuasion
Cat: Keep moving. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out of the city. More Fisheye photos here.
The remarkable Louis O’Coffey provides inspiration on canvas
At 74, Louis O’Coffey would be remarkable even if he’d never become an artist who’s had his work displayed at numerous galleries. When he was born in Fort McMurray in 1937, the average person with Down syndrome didn’t survive into their 20s. Even nowadays they typically reach what is considered old age in their 50s. […]
FISHEYE: Life in transit
I imagine this LRT post in some museum 2,000 years from now, or maybe just rusting in the ground. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out of the city. More Fisheye photos here.
