Following Warped, I stayed the night and met up with Sonia again and we went down to the Calgary Stampede Parade. Contrary to popular myth, you do not need to be there 2 hours early to be able to see (maybe if you want a curbside spot for your lawnchairs though). The parade was good and had some decent floats. I haven’t actually been to that parade for a few years (last time was at a party hosted by an oil company).
After the parade I wandered downtown Calgary (which is crazy busy for the next week). I ended up at the library studying some old atheist books.
All in all a good mini-vacation to Calgary.
