Folk fest sells out
The folk fest has sold out – in a good way. Weekend passes for the annual Happening on Hill Aug. 4-7 at Gallagher Park are gone. They went in the first two hours after they went on sale today (June 1). It is said demand was so great that the phone lines crashed, the online […]
FISHEYE: Brave new world
Our perception is within such a tiny range of scale, this continental-looking bike-path pattern pattern reminds us. Jump a few powers of ten away either in or out and it’s all unrecognizable. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out […]
CONCERTS: Tegan and Sara get intimate July 6, Daniel Tosh adds show
Here’s a show that’s going to sell out in the blink of an eye – Tegan and Sara at the Myer Horowitz Theatre on Wednesday, July 6. Well, maybe: the big discussion online yesterday was whether the $75 the pair are commanding for tickets was highway robbery. The twin sister goddesses of alternative rock from […]
Cyclists lament hard time peddling Edmonton nude ride
For the last few years in early June, TV, radio and newspaper reporters in Edmonton have telephoned local bicycle organizations, wondering if there will be a naked bicycle parade somewhere in the city. The annual World Naked Bicycle Ride, which is intended as a protest against car-centred culture and to promote bicycle transportation, routinely makes […]
FISHEYE: Out like a ‘lion

Kathy Griffin to give Edmonton a piece of her mind Oct. 12
“I saw Tommy Lee at an awards show, and I got crabs just from looking at him!” “I may have said in an interview in People magazine that I thought Renee Zellweger was so thin that she looked like the lost Olsen triplet. And I may have said that she hasn’t eaten since Chicago … […]
Rise Against returns to rock Rexall Oct. 8
Again we ask a musical question: Rise Against what? Why, everything, of course – and we have a dandy subject for a WHO NAMED THE BAND feature when the mainstream punk band (not an oxymoron) returns to Edmonton, at Rexall Place on Saturday, Oct. 8 with Flogging Molly and the Black Pacific in support. Tickets […]
FISHEYE: Eagle eye
Despite their popularity in music and nationalistic imagery, eagles are actually very skittish and wary creatures. Stuffed ones, like this example at Fish and Wildlife downtown, are a little easier to sneak up on. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in […]
