Got there around 6pm and ended up waiting 30-40 minutes to go in.

Night #8 was epic cause EVERYBODY was down to party.

Got some "Olympic Footage". It was raining so it was hard for me to shoot and plus I didn't have a tripod. Tomorrow...err today will be Sunny. SO WOOT!!! More footage plus super Rowdy tomorrow! I'm currently rendering fireworks footage, kinda shaky since no tripod!

I wish Robson and Granville would be a "party/walking zone" after 7 every Friday and Saturday. Basically no cars are able to access both streets after that time. So it's purely a walking street. Similar streets are featured in Beijing(Wang Fu jing), Hong kong (Mong Kok area etc etc). I know it's gonna get pretty bad and they might have to hire more cops etc etc. Good idea though.

Go back to being an awesome city without all the hype.

Also the end of the Olympics means the end of really bad GM commercials on TV. Also those stupid RBC ones with that character with the bowler hat.

There is one GM commercial I really don't understand.

The one where a silver suv talks to a red camaro and ppl keep walking in between them. In the end, the suv says it's odd how ppl are interrupting them for a change.

I don't get it. How is it odd?

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you've never played street hockey

Usually when kids and even us adults play street hockey, we say "car" when a car gomes down the street.

It interrupts the game.
