Solarbotics at Calgary Entertainment Exp...
Solar botics
April 28, 2014
Well, we survived the battlefield of 2014 Calgary Entertainment Expo with no human, animal or machinery losses (although with an apparent vocabulary shift towards geekery).

The show is getting bigger and crazier every year, and there's a lot of interesting costumes and wares to see. All in all, it's a place full of people passionate about cool and sometimes weird stuff, which you can find more of at our Flickr stream:
