Like ch28 mentioned, you'll wanna get there early. I waited for an hour to get inside.

But once inside, you'll have a great time. Cheap beer ftw!

When you say early, do you mean like 5pm?

Just read about 15 pages - What's up with all the whiners on RS? If you don't like Natives being a part of this country you can GTFO. Seriously.

It's not the fact that they had Natives it's because it was such a big part of it. You want to show that Canada is a smorgasbord of races have Natives dancing among people of all races. The way it was done you'd think Canada was made up of nothing but Aboriginal people. Put a big damper on the cermonies for me, combine that with the hydrolics fucking up and a bunch of idiots running beside Wayne as he was driven to the cauldron it was a pretty big fail IMO. I'd give it a 5 out of 10.

Marched down Robson & Granville last night just after the ceremonies and it was just an awesome Olympic vibe everywhere. Even Batman (literally, a man dressed up in a Batman costume) was in on the craze wandering around Granville street. He was swarmed with people hugging and taking pictures of him while everyone chanted the national anthem.

I don't exactly know who put this show own between the GE Plaza and VAG, but it was awesome free entertainment with fireworks, music, and Olympic mock-players riding down the zip line. It was amazing to see Robson transform into this little rave show.

Does anybody know if you need to lineup for the Henekein House in the rain or are you lining up under cover? In addition is everyone parking at Richmond Centre and just walking across?

Okami 02-13-2010 03:43 PM

i was watching speed skating (please dont fail me :p) and i thought i saw sidney crosby XD

http://www.dag.nl/wp-content/uploads...ven_kramer.jpg

but it was this guy named sven kramer from the netherlands

seakrait 02-13-2010 04:01 PM

^^^ he won gold for the 5000m. on the broadcast, they said he was mobbed at a grocery store when people thought he WAS crosby. when people realized he wasn't, they were disappointed. he was wondering why speed skating was so popular in canada... lols.

it's huge in the Netherlands.
