Cool Saturday—live music, film, and a long weekend ahead

It's 8°C this morning and cloudy—noticeably colder than what we've had lately—so keep a layer handy if you're heading out. Sun's down by 8:13 tonight, so plan your indoor stuff accordingly.

Roads are clear for now, so no drama getting around town today.

On the local front: there's been serious fallout from a Calgary Transit bus collision that left an 80-year-old woman badly hurt, and if you've been following the Airdrie Canada Day parade debate, residents are still split over the temporary downtown route change. Closer to home, Mayor Jyoti Gondek's called a special council meeting for Tuesday over a leaked budget document—worth keeping an eye on.

If you haven't eaten yet, Feast on Fourth is back this month with $10 dishes from 16 restaurants along 4th Street, which is a solid brunch or lunch move. Rajdoot's also reopened in Mission after loyal customers stepped in to save the place—if you've been missing that spot, today's your day to go back. And fair warning: Sorella Trattoria in Crescent Heights has closed after four years, so that's off the table if you were planning a visit.

Tonight's got real options. If you want something different, How To Train Your Dragon 2 In Concert is on at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium at 2:30 this afternoon—film and live orchestra, so catch that while you can. For comedy, Craig Conant's at The Laugh Shop at 6:30, or if you're into live bands, BRENN! is playing the Amateur at Best World Tour at Commonwealth Bar at 6:00. Later on, Pink 4reud—a Pink Floyd tribute—takes the stage at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino at 9:00 if that's your speed.

It's a proper Saturday with energy built in. Get out and do something.
