As a musician, actor, writer and Calgary’s inaugural poet laureate, Kris Demeanor requires plenty of creative time. He can often be found at inner-city cafés, coffee houses and restaurants working away on his notepad or laptop or simply reading a book. Kris favours thinking spots that have a pleasant atmosphere, with distracting TV screens being a minus and patios a plus. Here he shares his favourite inspirational hangouts.
