The Unknown Studio

Friend of the show Brittney Le Blanc has done a much better write up on this subject on her own blog, but I felt I should add my two cents.

Are you playing foursquare yet? If not, take a few minutes and check it out, or better yet, sign up. I really have to recommend it, it’s a great tool for getting out and really experiencing the best Edmonton has to offer. Read the rest of this entry »
