I took the public bus downtown today...for the first time in my life
See, I've never had the need to do that, I've been shuttled everywhere...crazy,eh?
Well, anyway, it was interesting...and once I got to the Southern Alberta Art Gallery(I had to do an Endeavour story there) I stayed for over two hours and looked at EVERYTHING!!!!
I also talked with a few people, including Christina Cuthbertson, who is the PR rep and Volunteer Manager at the gallery, and Don Gill, the artist behind the D'Arcy Island exhbit in the upstairs area of the gallery.
I was especially fascinated by the "Lost Birds" and "D'Arcy Island" exhibits. Go to the SAAG and see them. Sunday is free.
Near the end, I bought a Canada keychain with a moose on it and a purple flower holder/fridge magnet...they're so cute.
After while, I packed up my things and reluctantly left...and ran for the bus..
As I was running for the bus, I heard some "strange duck" (as Martina calls them) yelling at nobody in particular.
When the bus was moving, I overheard on the radio that drivers still downtown had called for the police...I don't know much of what happened after that...
So anyway, it was a cool experience and I hope to do it again sometime soon...especially since I have a good rapport with the SAAG staff now.
adios
