Brian Mills 🍁 @preambulator.bsky.social · 14/07/2026The Cheonggyecheon stream restoration is a wonderful island of tranquility in the middle of Seoul! A great place to take a stroll, read a book or enjoy a bit of nature. One of the things that make Seoul such an interesting place to visit at street level (or in this case, slightly below). 020
Brian Mills 🍁 @preambulator.bsky.social · 12/07/2026You already know it's the Falkirk Wheel, and it is truly an amazing engineering piece of engineering. It's also a fine tourist attraction. I've been there twice. There are tour boats which take riders on the wheel from the bottom to the top, and then back down again. No sense of motion! 120
Brian Mills 🍁 @preambulator.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Discovery today was FLOCKS in Rosebud #ALBERTA. It's a licensed art café doubling as a performance palace. A delightful and quirky spot adorned with plenty of vibrant paintings and other art. Why, the proprietors even serenade patrons with their vocal interpretations of jazz standards! #TRAVEL 150
Brian Mills 🍁 @preambulator.bsky.social · 09/07/2025The Calgary Stampede fireworks are amazing! But they pale in comparison to the natural fireworks display offered by Hawaii's Kilauea eruptions, which are happening every week or so right now. Episode #28 is currently underway. WOW!! 030
Brian Mills 🍁 @preambulator.bsky.social · 18/06/2025On a walk in YYC this afternoon 5 loud aircraft like the one pictured below flew overhead, going south. They were US Marine V-22 Ospreys, presumably returning after some sort of protection detail involved in the G7 summit. Not sure I appreciated them being in CDA! www.google.com/url?sa=i&url... 010
Brian Mills 🍁 @preambulator.bsky.social · 26/04/2025LIARS AT A FUNERAL openned @abtheatreprjcts.bsky.social last night and was anything but a solemn occasion! Can funerals bring waring family members together? Heartily suggest you go find out. Oh, and big thanks to Pierson’s Funeral Service for making the lobby experience special! 120
Brian Mills 🍁 @preambulator.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Juice up your memories of the ‘88 Winter Games in Calgary and go to see a performance of @lunchboxtheatre.bsky.social GO FOR GOLD AUDRY PHAM! It’s both a fun and touching production, and a brand new play! 022
Brian Mills 🍁 @preambulator.bsky.social · 11/12/2024History was made in YYC today with the official sod turning for the 1st component of the Arts Commons Transformation project,a new 1000 seat theatre hall. 020
Brian Mills 🍁 @preambulator.bsky.social · 07/12/2024Sometimes, even in the City, wildlife makes an appearance when you don't expect it! Here are two beavers (Mama and Junior) which I came across in the Elbow River today, right beside Stampede Park in Calgary. Cool! 091
Brian Mills 🍁 @preambulator.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Folks looking for genuine family holiday fun in YYC should take in a performance of CHARLOTTE'S WEB @abtheatreprjcts.bsky.social! The show opened last night and it was 2 THUMBS UP from the enthusiastic audience, young & old (especially the young part)! Lot's of super audience interaction! Congrats! 032
Brian Mills 🍁 @preambulator.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Was that at the Calgary show? I didn't get tickets, but have been wondering how the concert was. I watched Road Diary recently which was filmed as a runup to this tour. A great film for Springsteen fans! 010
Brian Mills 🍁 @preambulator.bsky.social · 15/11/2024An exciting collaboration was announced today in Calgary, between the National Music Center in Canada and the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Centre for American Music! On hand were Stevie Van Zandt and Garry Tallent from the E Street Band, and E.D. Bob Santelli. The Boss is playing Calgary tomorrow! 1166
