Unless you've spent the past seven years under a rock, you are most likely harbouring some resentment towards the forensic scientists (ok, ok...the casts) of CBS's assorted CSI teams.

Well, if you're kickin' around Winnipeg between now and May 28, stop living vicariously through Grissom and get your butt in to ...
