TGIF!  It’s been hectic week around the Limestone City thanks to Reelout and a slew of events associated with Feb Fest.  Earlier on in the week I wrote about my encounter with the Stanley Cup, which is the only Feb Fest event I’ve made it to thus far.  Luckily, some other folks posted a few [...]

Last Friday I marvelled at how amazing, albeit unseasonal, the weather was. What a difference a week makes. Today the city awoke to bone chilling temperatures that were estimated to reach minus 30 thanks to the wind chill.  Is it too much to ask for some snow to go along with this [...]

Inside the KRC

It’s no secret. Kingstonist has poked fun at the LVEC, Krock, KRC etc… in the past, and will continue to do so in the future. Last weekend I was given free tickets to go see the Kingston Frontenacs play the Ottawa 67’s, thanks to my involvement in the local United Way campaign, which [...]

There’s Always Next Year

With just over two weeks remaining in the regular season, the Kingston Frontenacs will be dusting off their golf clubs sooner than later. These days, the only thing worse than their 3rd from last position in the standings, is game attendance. I don’t think anyone was surprised by the fact that the Fronts sold [...]

Video: Pre-Hip Concert Setup

Today we wandered into the new K-Rock Centre and took some video of the stage crew setting up for tonight’s Tragically Hip Concert. To be honest the video quality isn’t great, but we’ve created a Kingstonist YouTube channel for future features. For those of you going to the concert tonight, please don’t park [...]
