Sherman Style

While I greatly enjoyed my time at the Official Opposition, I always had mixed emotions about one annual project: the video required for the Legislature Press Gallery Christmas party. They were fun to script and shoot, but assembling the required resources always took a disproportionate amount of time and energy at a very busy time of year. So when I congratulate my former colleague Amy McBain for pulling this together, I do so with complete sincerity because I know how much work this sort of thing requires. Good work, Amy! My favourite moment: Dr. Swann's dance in the parking garage.

Press Gallery Christmas Party

I'm up late blogging tonight because I just returned from the annual Alberta Legislature Press Gallery Christmas Party. As noted a couple of posts ago, each caucus in the legislature, along with the press gallery, prepares a self-mocking video for the crowd's amusement, and I must say this year's batch of videos was uniformly entertaining, at least for this particular crowd: people who actually pay attention to provincial politics.

Here are some of images of my colleagues, past and present, who attended the event:

Alex and Raj

Kyle and Rick

Marcella, Stephanie, Jonathan and Melissa

Brian and John

Ashley

Teddy and Carmen

Karin, Kyle and John

John's signature gesture

Earl, Brian and John

A good time was had by all! Or so I assume. People laughed at the videos, anyway!
