In retrospect, maybe waving around Myke Atkinson's campaign newspaper and talking about it on Instagram for 2+ hrs in a multipart two-day series was not the best campaign strategy for Terry Wong #yyccc

Some last-minute wayfinding help for Calgary voters. Making it easy to find debates for all 14 wards + mayor on The Sprawl's YouTube page. Feels good to see them all lined up like this—a complete set! Put 'em on a shelf. #yyccc www.youtube.com/@sprawlcalga...

Wiped out! The Sprawl put on two #yyccc candidate forums today on opposite ends of the city. Ward 3 with 6/8 candidates and Ward 12 with 5/5 candidates. Tomorrow is Ward 2 with 4/5 candidates. And Friday is Ward 13 with 1/2 candidates. Watch on The Sprawl's YouTube channel! 📸 @asadch.bsky.social

Livestreaming from different community halls all the time presents interesting challenges. Different sound systems and rooms each night. Tonight's audio solution involves planting a wireless mic in this here light fixture. 🤞

Lol. A little glitch on the Sprawl website had every single link on our election candidate tracker going to this guy's website since 4am or so. It was a good morning for Dan Oleson in Ward 1 I guess! Fixed now. www.sprawlcalgary.com/calgary-elec...

It's true and it also reminds me of a funny CBC Wiretap episode wherein Howard Chackowicz declares his living room a nation-state called Howardville

Gotta say, livestreaming the Ward 8 forum went pretty well! Kept it simple, streaming from iPhone. Even used iPhone's mic. Did some nifty lower-thirds too. Streaming tonight's mayoral forum at 6pm. Subscribe to @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social's YouTube channel! www.youtube.com/@sprawlcalgary #yyccc

Turn my phone exclusively into an NFB viewing device, is what I am saying. Or, alternatively, this pager-type gadget that I wanted as a kid, which would tell you the score of the Blue Jays game. That was the one thing it could do.

Spotted @calgaryhester.bsky.social's bus while meandering, which was a treat! A welcome splash of colour.

Who says you can't print in the rain?! Had a blast this weekend at Calgary folk fest. It's also Historic Calgary Week, which is why we put this plate on the press today. Thanks to everybody who stopped by to get inky! #yycbike #letterpress

Glancing more at this and the map city hall gave me... I wonder if they are including Crescent Rd, Edm Trail, McDougall Rd and... 11 St SE in Ramsay/Inglewood?! And maybe painted lanes too? Expansive definitions of both "downtown" and "cycle tracks"? Seriously tho, will confirm. #yycbike

Man Calgary's downtown cycle tracks are in rough shape these days. Here is a "pothole" this morning on 8th Avenue. (I put the brick back in but still big hole there so.... ???) #yycbike

Of all the prints I've done on my pop-up press, this has to be one of my favourites so far. A little piece of Calgary Stampede history. Look closely and you can see the aeronaut under the balloon, astride the rail!

Check out @calgaryhester.bsky.social's latest project! She is one of 7 local artists who were selected to design a transit bus. Hers is full of local Calgary landmarks. Keep your eyes peeled for Sam's bus in the coming months (there are two!). Congrats Sam!

Snapped this photo at @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social's Tuxedo Park printing pop-up yesterday. Appreciate this kid's printing posture. That back foot. Such form! Print like you mean it!
