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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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.
