Bardford: Thanks very much for your posting. It's heartening to know that Calgary is more oasis than desert. Methinks think we (my wife Stephanie and I) are just going to be in town for the four festival days and maybe the Monday. We'll surely check out the Tullamore, the James Joyce and Original Joe's, at least. We are instantly recognizable, by the way. I will be holding a beer and she will have two shopping bags. Shame on me, I don't have a Mudcat T-shirt, but am partial to one with a sickle crossed with a frothy pint that reads, "The revolution starts when the pubs close." Introduce yourself - you're certainly due a malt.
