I like to keep myself busy with stuff, that’s no surprise, but this month seems exceptionally busy! There’s definitely a lot going on in Edmonton. Here are a few upcoming events that I’ll be at this weekend:

Other stuff happening this weekend that I probably won’t get to check out: Best of the West Skate Contest, Symphony 101, Alberta Fall Classic, and the City Centre Market.
If all goes well I’ll hopefully get time to finish some coding on ShareEdmonton. I’m excited to get it up and running – it’ll make posts like this completely unnecessary.
