3rd Annual Guide to St. Pat’s
I know this incredible weather has some people a little out of sorts and confused, and then we throw in the time change and it’s like we’ve skipped ahead two months, but rest assured, we haven’t and tomorrow is in fact St. Patrick’s Day. For me, St. Patty’s has always been about the music and [...]

KRC vs The Grand
Who does the booking for the K-Rock Centre? I’d like to know because the KRC has made what I consider to be a pretty big error. It is bringing in a show from out of the country – a show that is happening at the Grand with local musicians and dancers one night later: The [...]

Homegoing
After years of debauchery and wreckage, Queen’s has finally stepped up to do something about the giant Aberdeen party that has occurred every Homecoming weekend since 2005. In case you’re new or you’ve just been out of the country (yes, this made national headlines) for the last four years, Queen’s students and their friends from [...]

Punctuation is a powerful thing
I am going to make a confession. Not that this is something to be ashamed of, but more that it’s something that some people find a little….irritating. I am a grammar snob. I just can’t help it. Ever since I learned about the many uses of the comma, the beauty of a semi-colon and the [...]

Your Kid’s Not That Cute
I am soooo tired of hearing about homecoming at Queen’s. I’m not even in Kingston right now and yet it’s still a topic of conversation everywhere I go. The Globe and Mail had a story on Queen’s Homecoming just two days ago (complete with a map showing out-of-towners where exactly to go to find the [...]

The Fair is Here!
The 178th Annual Kingston Fall Fair kicked off today at the Kingston Memorial Centre. This is a great opportunity to check out some neat things that us city folk don’t see all that often. In addition to food, craft vendors and a midway, there is a competition out there for everyone. The fair features competitions [...]

Busking Enjoyed by a Few…
So I can finally say I’ve been to the Buskers Rendezvous. I enjoyed it. I really did. But it wasn’t quite what I envisioned. For one, I thought there would be way more people there. Now, this was a tricky weekend weather-wise, so unless you have somewhere to hang out during the rain, it might [...]

TGI Weekend
It’s that glorious time of the week, where we can kick back and relax, stay out later, and sleep in longer. Not only is it the weekend, but it’s the last weekend in May, and therefore the last chance to drop us a comment. Remember, comments automatically enter you into our super special contest to [...]

Weekend Update
Who doesn’t love a four-day work week? After a chilly long weekend, Ron Burgundy and the gang down at Channel 4 are predicting sunny skies along with what we consider seasonally normal temperatures. The bottom line is that it will be perfect weather for getting outdoors, and enjoying some great community events.
