Pirate Grrlz "The Big Head" Traditional Cache
Pirate Grrlz: Sadly we're going to archive this one. It's obviously not a good spot for longevity and we'll need to rethink how to bring people to see this wonderful structure.

Well, our first iteration of the cache is gone but this is such a cool spot I think it's worth keeping a cache here. So I went and replaced it with a magnetic nano. Now, I HATE nanos and wouldn't ordinarily hide one, but it might last longer here. If you also hate nanos (or are just looking to speed up your hunt) I have posted a spoiler picture which should lead you right to it.
Love it or hate it, as soon as I saw "The Big Head" I knew I needed to place a cache nearby. Ideally it would be attached to the sculpture but I just couldn't figure out how to do that. So the cache is nearby with a great view of the big head.
Congratulations to Uh-Oh and One Bad Aunt for the teamwork and shared FTF!
As with all downtown hides, your GPSr will not lead you right to the cache. I got the coordiates using a combination of my GPSr and Google Maps. Please look at maps and hint before searching.
Please be sure to rehide the cache well as this is a very high traffic area and there are often security guards walking around.
About the sculpture
Spanish artist Jaume Plensa recently unveiled a giant new sculpture called Wonderland at the base of Calgary's tallest tower, The Bow. The wire mesh piece stands 39 feet high and resembles a young girl's head. (It was actually inspired by a real girl in Spain.) Interestingly, the sculpture has two entrances so that visitors can walk inside of it. "My vision for Wonderland is to inspire everyone who experiences the sculpture: I believe the architecture of our bodies is the palace for our dreams," said Plensa.
