Dennis Rodman celebrates 50th birthday – at the River Cree Casino
In this modern age of certain celebrities who have so little left to sell that they start selling their personal lives – even getting PAID to attend their own birthday parties – one wonders what sort of bidding war erupted with Dennis Rodman’s impending 50th birthday. Well, hey, we won – the River Cree Casino […]
Fringe Festival unveils 2011 theme – Fringeopolis!
“All great works of art come from the Metropolis,” Edmonton Fringe Festival Executive Director Julian Mayne quoted American poet Ezra Pound before introducing this year’s Fringe Festival title at a press conference today – Fringeopolis.

The DAILY FUNNY: iPhones and dirty racehorses
We’d like to tell you this Sunday edition of the Daily Funny cleverly loops together a string of seemingly unrelated comedic threads until, subtly and cleverly, an overarching theme is revealed. We’d LIKE to tell you that’s the case. But instead it’s more like a bunch of unrelated funny crap stuck together…… With that said, […]
PREVIEW: A worthy blues cause without selling your soul
The blues can be fickle. If you take your blues – and your blues music – really personally, for their curative qualities, you may be inclined to find a blues contest kind of silly, preferring instead a dingy bar with low light and lower prospects. But you’d be wrong. Blues contests have a long and […]

ART: A 3D exploration of nature and ethics
Sherri Chaba has an abiding concern about the environment and a passionately odd way of showing it. One of the neat things about living in an arts town like Edmonton is that people are willing to try all sorts of things artistically. We had this story on last month’s show by Zsolti Varsanyi, and in […]
