I may be entire out of the loop in this but it seems that there is a new Hollywood production coming to film in our fair city. According to Variety, the feature film Resurrecting the Champ will begin principle shooting here in Calgary starting in June.

What does this mean for the celeb watchers? It means camping outside of houses reported to be occupied by the likes of Josh Hartnett, Rachel Nichols, Kathryn Morris and the venerable Alan Alda. For me it means stalking… er, I mean looking out for the man, Samuel L. Jackson. This summer just got a whole lot more exciting. I wonder if it’s still to late to join the union.

Time for more funny IM conversations.

• person1: whenever i hover over ur menus
• person1: i just expect something to happen
• person1: and i keep getting blue balled
• me: haha
• me: I was going to make a hover but decided against it.
• person1: thats like a doctor saying “i was goign to give him his sight back, but i decided against it”
• me: ahahaha

Not too long ago a friend of mine, Chris Rhee, was helping out a couple of his buddies. They were filming something for a class project. After they had finished they loaded up the car with their equipment. Unfortunately this is when some scoundrel absconded with all of Chris’ stuff. Here’s the story in his own words.

That being said, they’re asking for donations to help Chris get money so he can replace his equipment. 9rules is helping out, Colin is helping, Crapfilter is helping and I’m helping out. All it takes is $5 and I know I can spent an extra night eating in instead of spending that $5 on take out this week.

The first in what will hopefully become a regular series of funny IM conversations.

• person1: My mother in law is here. And I totally just went to the bathroom with the door open!!
• person1: I forgot she was in the other room.
• person1: Whoooopsie
• me: aaahahahaha

The time has come and I need your help. Calgary is great and I’ve been having a blast here for the last four years. Unfortunately the time has come for me to move. Many opportunities are opening up for me south of the border and I want to take advantage of them.

Here’s the deal, I’ve been self-employed for the last two years and this move is, so far, going to be on my own accord. There are two tremendous opportunities for me in the US, the first being establishing a new company with a fantastic partner and taking over the globe — in our niche — and the second is to start working for a newly established, grass-roots company.
