this is such an awesome idea – one of our designers is heading to the sled island music and film festival in calgary, which takes place june 30 – july 3. to prepare for her trip she is compiling all sorts of information in a little composition book that she brought over to show us the other day – it’s amazing! she cut out and pasted images and hand wrote information about the festival lineup, bars, restaurants and shopping in calgary – even interviews with calgary designers that she has printed out!
i think it’s such a creative way to prepare for and then document a trip – in fact it has inspired us to do something similar for bonnaroo :) we’ll take a closer look at the contents of her journal when the festival approaches, but for now i wanted to share the idea because i thought it was so cool. and all you need is a journal, scissors and glue sticks!
Calgary is a very cool town, with the best shopping in Alberta! While you are there make sure you check out Kensington area! It has some really neat stores and you must make a stop at “Crave” cupcakes bakery located in the Kengsington area! Also, 17th Ave. has some really neat clothing stores and the best shoe store called “Gravity Pope!”
Enjoy your stay!
Thanks for the suggestion! Definitely will try check them out! :)
