Folkfest is held at Gallagher Park. I'd love it if they could hold more concerts there, but it's right in the middle of a residential community, and they won't allow it. As it is the members of the surrounding community get free tickets just to appease them.
In that pic you can see the Muttart Conservatory Pyramids too, which is an awesome piece of Edmonton.

Has Anyone Been to Halifax? I was born in Halifax, another awesome city. Downtown is so much fun, amazing bars all over the place. A really beautiful city as well. I had to move because the job market is complete shite, but I still get back once or twice a year.

If you ever get the chance, go visit Montreal. It is insane.

The only thing similar between Vancouver and LA is the film industry. By all other counts Vancouver=Seattle, but it's only a couple hours down the road so that's an easy one.

Great Pics!! I am def excited to visit Edmonton this Summer. How are the Strip clubs? I have been to vancouver's strip clubs before and there amazing Go to Eden or Diamonds. I haven't been to either in years, but it's generally agreed upon that those are the best 2 in the city. Yuck! Both of you. Mase, I'm surprised it took this long but Alex... Dude.

Strip Clubs are perfectly fine, especially when visiting a new city.

I ride on a purple Unicorn with bat wings that fires accountability lazers from it's glowing black horn. My response would have been to simply not encourage it. No long spiel, just "ask some one else dude" or "Google it".

I'm just passing information along, much like information is regularly passed on about certain party favours. I'm not saying "oh man, you have to fucking go to Eden. It'll change your life". I'm saying that from what I've heard, those are the most popular places in town. No current first-hand knowledge.

Are there, perhaps, more tasteful things to do in this city?

Cool. I'm just saying if some one asks me something I don't generally support (I'm assuming you don't generally support 'em), I'll say "that you can go and ask some one else about".

now that we've gotten that out of our system... let's move on to other non strip-club discussions.
Mase, in case you haven't heard...
Here are the board's unofficial 6- Commandments...
1. Thou shalt not threaten to hurt/kill/dismember/etc other board members. 2. Thou shalt not make sexist/racist/homophobic/religious jokes ---- (unless it's really funny!.. and chances are it won't be - so don't say it) 3. Thou shalt not discriminate based on sex/race/sexual preference/religion --- (unless they're a Scientologist) 4. Thou shalt not discuss anything that openly deals with the objectification of women. 5. Thou shalt not post images of anything that deals with the objectification of women. 6. Thou shalt not speak illy of Biffy Clyro.
(are there others i'm forgetting?)

Mase, you guys should go here... Welcome to Jurassic Forest! This is for realz. Some looney multi millionaire had these giant animametronic Dinobots constructed and helicoptered into the woods by Edmonton. My friend has some amazing pictures of T-Rexese dangling from slings attached to helicopters.

and be sure to end one of your nights with these suckers... Edmonton donairs are not to be believed! I would personally recommend "World's Finest Donair" in the downtown area. And since you only live (and hopefully visit Edmonton) once, go for the Jumbo with cheese. It will be like handling a new born baby swaddled in wax paper and sweet sauce.
