Damn it! THAT'S where it went!! I was at Metro earlier with a couple guy friends hoping to catch it, but we only saw the other ones.

thats nothing. We waited 4 fuking hours yesterday. The guy behind use sold his spot for $200 just before we went in. We couldnt find anyone to buy ours haha. Not really worth it, 4 hours, $20 cover, $8 for a small cup of booze, all for a tent full of doods. Totally not worth it haha.

Anyone find the video of the Mens 1000m Speed skating semi finals where CELSKI got disqualified?

They have ALL the videos on CTV for replay except that mother fucking semi final.
wtf is wrong with ctv?

Anyone have word on HHH house sunday night and whether or not it's still dutch-only

jsut got out of armin and walked downtown and it was a like 24 hour madness!!!! walked by the bay at like 420am exactly and i was like WTF THEIR OPEN? tried to buy some red mitts but they only had kids left so whack

LOL waited for a good 30+ mins on a corner waiting for a dam cab ...

1st guy got impatient and left
2nd guy asked us where we going and then told us he was getting off soon so he couldent take us ( but his cab light was on fucken BS)
3rd guy some bitch stole our cab


by this time i noticed the nightbuses still running that goes right by my house that was a feet away so i took that and here i am now :D drinkinga beer and toking some fine BC while blasting my armin van buuren ASOT FUCK YEA!!!

now im deciding if i should stay up till the canada game or try n pass out

Yeah, downtown was a total zoo last night. Went out around 10:30 and Basically the entire Granville St that's fenced off was packed, and the usual Robson & Burrard and probably 2 blocks surrounding it was packed.

When I left (at around 12:30am), the Skytrain line for Granville Station stretched from the Dunsmuir entrance (it was the only entrance open), all the way around Dunsmuir, up Granville to almost the Granville entrance. Ended up walking to Waterfront thinking I'd get a better chance at getting on. However, that line stretched out the outside doors too. Ended up taking about 30 mins to get on the Skytrain from when I lined up which considering, isn't too bad seeing how long the lines were.

A result of the ruckus - liquor stores shut down early:

Until the end of the Olympics (Feb. 28), all liquor stores in the downtown core will be shut down at 7 PM. I have no link for this, but this is what the cops told us before they shut us down last night.

Wow that sucks.

It's unfortunate that so many people here are so irresponsible with alcohol that the police & government have to nanny us like that.

Sorry guys some sad news
 

Tragedy strikes Rochette

The mother of Canadian figure skating champion and Olympic medal hopeful Joannie Rochette died suddenly in Vancouver Sunday morning, shortly after arriving to watch her daughter compete.

Canadian team officials said Thérèse Rochette passed away after being rushed to Vancouver General Hospital.

Cause of death has not been determined. She was 55.

Joannie Rochette was given the news by her father Normand at the Olympic Village this morning.

Officials said Ms. Rochette intends to compete at the Olympics, despite the shock of her mother's death.

More later

She is still willing to compete wow

I don't think her mom would have liked that (her quitting), so she is probably going to do her best in her mother's memory. Like most athletes' parents, they often give up just as much as the athletes themselves. Athletes don't get to where they are by having good coaches and organizations behind them. They have the support of family, friends, and community.

RIP

Sad the mom had to go at a time like this.
