oh calgary! while you are not an exciting city, you do put on a pretty sweet music festival. here are some of the highlights of celine's and my trip to cow town:
- okkervil river and mother mother at the central united church. two amazing sets in an old methodist church. the atomosphere was incredible... backlit stained glass and everything. okkervil river always impresses.
- you would think a couchsurfing host in calgary would have some good things to say about calgary... apparently not. strike 1 calgary.
- the c-train is cool... not as cool as the skytrain... but it's still cool.
- first day on the mainstage: broken west was good, yo la tengo was ok, tegan and sara were fun, broken social scene was great, and i only got slightly sunburned.
- apparently downtown calgary shuts down at 9... strike 2
- there's a really cute/good cafe in bridgeland
- day two on the mainstage: jose gonzales was phenomenal, the gutter twins were a nice surprise, jonathan richman was typically terrible, of montreal was a blast, and i wore a lot of sunscreen.
- prince's island park is nice... not as nice as stanley park... but it's still nice
- calgary smells like calgary... strike 3
