Inside The Saddledome

Here’s another video I took when the lights were going wild on the stage. A couple of questions were fielded with regards to the Saddledome.

Russell Peters

All Booked Up

Yesterday afternoon I placed a few calls and booked myself into the Calgary hotel where all the media are staying for the Junos. It’s right downtown and should be close to all the major events. I actually have a few friends from high school out that way, so I’m looking forward to seeing [...]
