Calgary Zombies in October

January 11th 2009 03:38
The Calgary Zombie Walk in October started as a kind of low-key thing the zombies seemed to know about due to their special zombie telepathy.

Thanks to Facebook, twitter, mass texting and all those other good things, Zombie frolics are getting a tad more co-ordinated. This picture from October 20, 2007 was from the third Zombie walk.

If you think that being a vacant-minded* member of the undead might be fun, keep your eyes and ears open in October. I don't have a clue how these things get organized but I bet with enough lead time, any zombie can find it out.

* No offence, but I'm told that zombies have no brains. Literally.

Thanks and photo credit to thivierr for making this picture available on flickr.

See Fireworks on New Year's Eve in Calgary's Olympic Plaza

Calgary is Still Warmer than Edmonton!

January 4th 2009 18:17
There's no denying that Prairie winters are cold, but we like to say, "It's a dry cold." Not your Maritime ice storm. No squalls off the Great Lakes, no Pacific fog. Just us and the crisp air.

It's cold but uplifting to have that brilliant blue sky to look at
