lol well I'll just be like another other Joe tomorrow, I won't be going down in any work or official capacity, the time I met Arnie was about 10 years ago now at a party when he was here shooting 6th Day, I doubt if he'll remember me.

I saw the torch in Burnaby by Burnaby North it was awesome and just to my right the one carrier passed it to another so I was able to see it passed on. I loved it and tomorrow it goes by my work in Vancouver so I can watch it again.
The torch costs $350 if the carrier wants to keep it. I wish there was a list telling who is carrying and when.

I saw the torch being passed off right in front of langara it was an awesome experience lots of people to cheer on the runner he was from langara.

lilaznviper 02-11-2010 05:00 PM

Ok then I would settle for knowing who they are after the day is over. Either way it was unreal so exciting and I found out a torch is coming to my work and if you want you can have a picture with it. Not sure who ran with it but it doesn't matter to me.

The thing with prospect point is that there's only 1 way in and if they block is off then you're SOL. It's a far ass walk back out of where lol

Stop driving so fast, LOL.


The flags are so cheaply made, compared to the Canucks one I have. The Pepsi one is sturdier than the Coke one.

Final Olympic torch bearer won't be Wayne Gretzky: Vanoc CEO John Furlong

Armind 02-11-2010 07:32 PM

^ FUUUUUUUU now i'm really curious.

On the side note, will there be a huge ass fireworks display for tomorrow?

Harvey Specter 02-11-2010 07:36 PM

Heading to downtown in a bit, going to check out what's going on but imagine how nuts it would have been if this was the summer games. Crazy weather, crazy outdoor parties for 2 weeks, packed beaches and a city full of half naked foreign women.

Armind 02-11-2010 07:38 PM

^ European girls :thumbsup:

Torch came by UBC today. I was on top of the Engineering Cairn on a couch. Shit was tight.

murd0c 02-11-2010 07:58 PM

I think its going to be Terry Fox but they are going to do it digitally of course.
