I've just been reminded that, with the end of @FFWDWeekly, I won't be named Sexiest Man in Calgary again. So, small blessings.

“@manaboutcowtown: Guys I propose an epic Irish wake for @FFWDWeekly they fucking deserve it.” Hear! Hear!

Calgary just dealt a major blow with the closure of @FFWDWeekly - no reason a city this big shouldn't be able to sustain an arts weekly.

Very sad to hear @FFWDWeekly is shutting down: http://t.co/2uRjuSVask They're an institution in #Calgary and will be sorely missed. #yyc

How can a city like #yyc live without a street weekly? Our community will be so much poorer without @FFWDWeekly. #yyc#yycarts

Lamenting about the @FFWDWeekly news, I did a shitty job of supporting it. They did a good job, I failed as a reader. Sorry.

Thing about @FFWDWeekly was how ambitious it was with so little. Once sent me and three others to Ft Mac to do a series on the oilsands...

Very sad to hear the news from @FFWDWeekly of the end of print. May it continue online for another 19 yrs or more. http://t.co/9ij3W54JL2

Crushing for local #yyc coverage that @FFWDWeekly is closing. Never knew how @DrewPAnderson & crew did so much with so little.

Today in Total Bummer News, @FFWDWeekly is no more. Some legendary music writers, past and present, have pounded out some greatness there.

After a few moments to process, I'm dreaming of possibility for @FFWDWeekly. I hope you stay alive as an online. VIVA FFWD. Journalists FTW.

Lots of great issues & articles in @FFWDWeekly over the past 19 yrs. Grabbing a copy every week was more than just a habit. Sad day for YYC.

Really sad to hear about @FFWDWeekly shutting down in #yyc. A city shouldn't be without an alternative weekly: http://t.co/w8U4uamqEa

Holy shit. @FFWDWeekly is calling it quits. This makes me so, so sad. Dammit. http://t.co/Cn8zxl3lTs#yyc#yycarts

Very sad to see the demise of Calgary's mainstay weekly, @FFWDWeekly. A big loss for the city: http://t.co/yj5uIT9n05

Sad to hear about the end of @FFWDWeekly. They brought a unique view of Calgary that was needed and appreciated.

I am genuinely saddened that @FFWDWeekly is shutting it down.

A positive voice for the #yycarts is a terrible thing to lose, esp. w/ potential arts cuts re:#yyccc right now. Sad to see @FFWDWeekly go.

Well, this bloody sucks. Some fine journalists & even finer people @FFWDWeekly and exactly the time we need them most http://t.co/BpmxGro0Go
