Upon further reflection – March is a great month to be outside (mileage may vary according to altitude).

But if you don’t want to spend your money on a Whistler lift ticket, I suggest the following events to cure your winter blues, highlighted recently on Pylon Radio.

True story: I live off Kingsway, and I found this hat in a crumpled heap in my driveway. It had a matching skull mask. I like to imagine it was used in a bank robbery before being discarded during a quick getaway. Don’t worry, I washed it. Anyway, here’s Pylon Radio!
