Haha "unfortunately". Do you know what she's doing? She probably already knows this but in case she doesn't, let her know that there's been a lot of harassment from protesters lately to those wearing the uniform, so she should watch out :eek:

lol.. what a way to spend money. At least it's not our money.

someone should definitely print out a bunch of those (movie poster sized) and post them around the Olympic venues, i wonder how many people would actually recognize fifth friend, haha

this winter is extremely warm. I'm going to school in the mornings and coming home wearing just a sweater. Does anyone else have a feeling we'll get a dump of snow sometime in spring? lol

Going to three events, just got my tix today. :D

Also, here's Vancity Buzz's complete guide to the Olympic season, parties, pavilions, protests and all! Augments my post of their guide to free stuff during the Olympics in VLS General.

Security: A necessary evil to ensure the safety and keep the pesky protesters out of the venues. Our guide will prepare you for the increased security

Protesting: Don't know what they hope to acheive, but they'll be there. Word of advice, avoid and ignore. They'll go away. Hopefully.
