Write Up:
Although we didn't actually get to go decorate the Calgary Tower, there was still a lot of excitement for EOC this day. The Calgary Police Service caught on to our evil plot and advised that the event posting was a bad idea because we'd be the prime suspects if someone actually vandalized the tower. EOC volunteer, Peter M, told the Calgary Herald about the conversation with CPS, and an article in that paper resulted. It must have been a slow news day because after the Herald article came out, I was asked for a TV interview with CTV and a radio interview with CBS.

Thanks to all of you for humoring me in my annual antic. It's going to be hard to top this one! Now... does anyone have a use for 70 cases of sequins? I might have to put them on E-Bay...

I didn't make it to the Calgary tower. I managed to get hold of a long handled paint roller, scaffold, boa and glitter but could not get a balaclava. My wife had promised to take care of it for me but ordered dessert from a Greek restaurant by mistake.
