On January 26, I decided to take the opportunity to make the subject of my second sonic journey attempt* a trip to downtown Calgary to see if I could find, from memory, the McNailey-Robinson bookstore. I rode the C-Train downtown because I wanted to capture what was referred to my history class as the "simultaneous experience." (And because I don't have a driver's license.)
My goal with this assignment was to show a sort of contrast with indoor and outdoor locations of varying crowdedness. While I didn't find the bookstore, I did manage to collect some ambient sounds from Century Park. (I was walking by and figured "why not?"). I also managed to collect some background noise from both a McDonalds while I was having lunch, and from the comic book store on Kensington while on my way home.
All in all I found the experience to be a very valuable one. I really appreciated the different ambient noises in different locations. Unfortunately, since I forgot to test the microphone before I went out, the recorder picked up nothing but dead silence.
But on the plus side, I finally got the embedded player to show up.

*My first attempt was pretty much wasted because the recorder's memory card was full.
