EVENT HISTORY: The Calgary Blow-Out! was founded in 2005 as a celebration of Calgary's vibrant literary community. The former Managing Editor of filling Station, derek beaulieu, founded the event out of good-natured frustration when he realized there was simply too much happening in the Calgary literary scene to see it all, and so he created theBlow-Out! as a fête for the community at large. This is filling Station's third annual Calgary Blow-Out!
ABOUT filling Station: filling Station is a literary magazine based in Calgary, Alberta, that is dedicated to showcasing innovative poetry, fiction, drama, film and visual art, and to promotion local and international arts communities. This year's Calgary Blow-Out! will see the launch of filling Station's 39th issue.
