Guess who got nominated for the Alberta Magazine Award.

I definitely don’t have my hopes high about winning, but this nomination is definitely worth celebrating and being of.

So thankful for @klaszus and @sprawlcalgary for believing in me.

Just yesterday, @klaszus was here interviewing Fort Calgary president Jennifer Thompson for an upcoming episode of #Sprawlcast. Jeremy wanted to record outside so the sounds of the site could be part of the show too — pretty cool! #yyc #FortCalgary

The cowboy is increasingly regarded as an outdated Calgary icon. But look a little closer, writes @XiMeNaKa, and the values of the mythical West “are not too distant from the values of today’s young talent.” New in @sprawlcalgary https://t.co/6h66RQZdXu

[Shaun Hunter @ShaunMHunter]

Food for thought and further discussion.

[The Sprawl @sprawlcalgary]

Calgary's cowboy mythology is more pliable than it seems, writes @XiMeNaKa. "As Calgary becomes more culturally diverse and tolerant, so does the idea of who gets to be a cowboy — and who belongs." https://t.co/V6jpx4TeOl

Excellent work @klaszus, thanks for letting me in on the conversation. Working at a large daily newspaper was a dream come true. I am grateful for the late nights, deadlines, angry editors, pizza on election nights, Thursday drinks at Buchanan's. All of it. Quite a trip.
