I’ll be hanging out at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, which starts today and runs until Sunday on the Stampede grounds. (The photo above is a flashback to last year’s edition of the event.)
If you’re attending, too, see you there! Otherwise, follow me on Twitter, Flickr and right here on this blog for stuff on the fly, pictures and highlights.
Among other things, I’m looking forward to finding out what Wil Wheaton’s “big announcement” will be.

If you’re on Via Rail’s western transcontinental train, “The Canadian”, keep your eyes — and ears — open for two members of Toronto-based band Running Red Lights, who will be performing aboard the train that leaves Vancouver on Tuesday, April 26, 2013.
I had the pleasure of enjoying Scarlett Flynn and Kevin Howley’s music as I travelled westbound with them through much of last week.
Check out their website to learn more about the whole band and to see blog entries recounting their epic cross-country journey.
They’re also all over social media:

Beautiful arches outside of The Bay store in downtown Calgary … and this wide-angle view helps to make it look as if they stretch on forever.

This is a piece of art called The Winner, which is installed along 8 Ave. S.W. between 7 and 8 St. in downtown Calgary. The image was edited in part with the iOS version of iPhoto, to add a tilt-shift style effect.
