I saw a picture of the Shat on the C-train, and was stunned it was for the Expo. Good on the organizers!

I didn't know there were advance tickets. I might have to check that out.

Vandervoot cancelled. None the less looks like an awesome show.

Yeah, they get you in the door an hour earlier than the normal admission, and they're cheaper to boot. How could you go wrong?

[Mumps]

Yup, I have had my advanced tickets for weeks now

I might have to go check this out....next year though.

With a new house and all the landscaping to do and a second kid on the way. It's just not going to happen this year.

Sadly Im out of town for that weekend for a buddys bachelor.

Speaking of this, got a question for all you Calgarians.

I'll be down a day early, on Thursday, to check out a few things as i'm looking to move there at the end of the year. Of course I want to check out the locations of the TRU and WMs, which won't be an issue.

However, I also collect comics, and I don't know any comic shops there. Any recommendations? I prefer staff that get to know you and are willing to go out of their way to help you out (like anyone would).

Also, which is the best theatre in town? Gonna be seeing Green Lantern before the convention, and I don't want to end up in a dump for my most anticipated movie of the year!
