In keeping with their fine tradition of last minute announcements, the (dis)organizers behind the now-defunct Calgary Jazz Festival sent this garage sale call out, which landed in my email box at 9:45 a.m. Saturday morning — less than three hours before the sell-off is set to start and an hour before I even woke up.
