Recently Voted,  Most Uplifting Movie of all Time. 

Cool Runnings

It's been twenty years Calgary.

The Tradition Continues. The excitement of Athletes striving for excellence is always a story worthy of being told. If you look around town you can see the impact that this film has had on so many. Look just a little closer and there, in real time, right now, stories similar in some ways. Very different in other ways are happening, ready to be told...  

Are you in the Running to be Cool? At Carazcom and AMSS we believe;

Field Trip

Schmancy

Fancy Schmancy Style

"Field Trip" When you are a kid those words bring on the biggest excitement.

Really it doesn't matter where that bus is going, it's enough to climb aboard. Happy Dance. cha cha cha

"All Aboard" the words you hear just before leaving the station. The sound of the steam, the whistle of the engine. It's time for an Adventure. My favorite, An Adventure.

This particular trip, destination; the Glenbow Museum, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

It's that moment when you finally arrive, that moment when you get to see, what that excitement was all about.

I will always remember the staircase, the chandelier that hangs four flights in the air, the prisms that capture the light. I will always remember the Native Collection, I will always remember the Costumes, the Animation, the Asian Collection, the Photo Archives... So many memories, that super cute Adrian Grenier and his Entourage. ok now I'm just getting distracted.

Adrian Grenier and Evan Ferrante

What ever it is, there is always a moment when your at the Glenbow Museum in Calgary that will make a memory. The 'Last a Life Time' kind.

As time evolves, so does the Glenbow. 2013 will be an exciting year. The citizens of the City of Calgary are a proud bunch. There is no question that the people in place at the Glenbow are Art enthusiasts, that bring excellence in everything they do. Looking forward to seeing the history of extraordinary continue.

Pivot Glenbow

With it's second birthday just under it's belt, there is no question that the Pivot Glenbow is beginning to make it's mark on the future of the Museum. The dynamic energy this group holds, will continue to have an impact on the future of the Glenbow Museum.

The Costumes

The First Stop on this years Schmancy Fundraiser brings us to Belgo's on January 24th. A sneak peek at some of the Style you might see if you were lucky enough to get a ticket to the main event, February 9th.

Hats of to all the wonderful folks that have come together for this valuable fundrasier, the kid in me really apprieciates the opportunity to continue to be a Part of the Energy.

National News Release "Tar Zombies" Episodes 1 - 3

Press Release
for Immediate National Release

Jan 8th, 2013

Rantdog Inc. www.rantdog.com is pleased to announce the Release of "Tar Zombies", Volume 1!

You read it right! "Tar Zombies" is an Animated Canadian Short being released as a three part mini series, with approximate running times of 10min per part.

Rantdog Inc. is wonderfully talented Animation Studio based out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. "Tar Zombies" is one of many products the studio produces.

Kate Holowach, Producer - With grace, Kate has successfully guided a group of gifted artists throughout the production, resulting in quality Canadian animation. With her commitment to excellence, Kate has managed to bring incredibly sensitive subject matter to life in a comedic fashion. Kate continues her years of success in the Film and Television Industry.

Norm Fassbender, Director and Co-Writer - Norm brings all his passion and knowledge to this Animated Production. Residing in the “Heart of Oil Country” gives Norm a unique credibility when telling a story he knows so much about. Norm has been a stimulator of production and content in Canadian Film and Television for years, and this project brings together his ability to tell a story while generating conversation.

If you haven't been introduced to Rantdog Inc. in the past, there may be no forgetting them now. Rantdog Inc's story is one that goes beyond the content of this release. I invite you share in a true Canadian Animation Studio, and see for yourself a shining example of Canadian Artistry at www.rantdog.com

My personal take on the Oil Sands. I used to be proud of Canadians that set the Bar at a high standard. The same high standard that the world holds us to. The truth be told Canadian Corporations and our Government have sold so many of the rights to our natural resources that we have lost the ability to manage them to Canadian Standards. 

The massive amount of Foreign / International investment in Northern Alberta lands by peoples that commit crimes against Humanity is staggering...

So for me the 'Big Oil Picture'. I wish for OPEC to stop funding wars against citizens, directly or indirectly. For OPEC to hold it's members to a standard of Humanity that includes basic Human Rights for all it's peoples. OPEC needs to be called out and held accountable! Roles and Responsibilities in Economics and in Peace. It is 2013, the Mandates and self serving Policies of the 70's, 80's, 90's, 2000's are NO longer acceptable or excusable, Period.

The "TAR ZOMBIES" are creating conversation... go figure...

Winter Wonderland

I live at the North Pole. Okay, not really, although those years in the Rocky Mountians were pretty close. I could hear the Raindeer flying over often. Or maybe it was the helicopters?

A Gerry Thomas Photograph Lake Moraine, Rocky Mountains 

What ever the case, I have been born and raised in a Winter Wonderland. I often look at the Hollywood Movies this time of year and think how odd all the effort to make everything look winter white. All I do is put on my massive floor length down jacket and I'm good to go. Good for the moment I walk out the door and the cold air takes my breath away, stands my hairs on end and whisks my feet from under me.

Such spirit we have this time of year. We go about our business, like no matter. So when you wonder about what makes us a little different, think about the character it takes to see everything as magical when your breath is taken away everyday.

This year I invite you to join myself, Carazcom and the Gerry Thomas Gallery as we celebrate the Holiday Season in Winter Wonderland.

There is this extraordinary space and place in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. One that has been created to capture the imaginations of those who walk through the doors.

www.gerrythomasgallery.com

Every time I pass through the doors I am transported in to the here and now of a Contemporary Gallery.

This month come and see our vision of a Winter Wonderland. Take a piece of Winter Wonderland to add to your place and space. Your vision of northern character is some thing to be celebrated.


Love that word Celebrate, we work hard. All of us, always on the run, place to be, peoples to see, business to be done, charity to be made.

So every so often a chance to let your hair down or maybe have an updo is a breath of fresh air. A breath that adds to the bounce in your step. For the Gentlemen, the timing is just right to rid your self of that movember that has been keeping the love at bay.

December 6th, 2012. We are having a Party. A Winter Wonderland Party . Bring your Brightest Holiday Bling. Come and Celebrate the Season with us. Connect with some wonderful characters. The kind that Create the Warm and Fuzzy feelings. Those same feelings that face the possibility of being Frozen this time of year. So excited to see and feel your Soul Shine as you pass through our Doors this Holiday Season. Welcome One and All.
