Alberta Burger Fest 2015: So Many Great Burgers!
Alberta Burger Fest I’m an Alberta Burger Fest Burger Ambassador. Can I put that on my resume? Just one of the thoughts that ran through my head as I read the e-mail inviting me to participate in my first ever Burger Fest.

RIP Quincys Lounge On Seventh Avenue
Quincys Lounge I put together this blog post on Quincy’s Lounge because it was a fixture of seventh Avenue for a long time, and seemed like an interesting place.

Things to do in Calgary
The Calgary Zombie Walk
Braaaaaains Every year, for no reason other than because they can, Calgarians dress up like zombies and assemble downtown to walk the streets and parade through the beltline.
