I have much respect for gay people no problem at all with it in my eyes but come on even tho its figure skating it should still have some what manly element to it. I'm not talking about spinning in circles smoking a cigar holding your nuts. Just do it with class not flare.

Great show. It was kinda funny how people started moshing during "Innocent", one of the chiller songs of their set. Crowd was kinda wack. A friend of mine got a murder threat in the crowd and some dude wanted to go with me cuz I wouldn't let him get in front of me.

Hah and as my buddies and I were walking back to the Canada Line, some guys tried to get us to say "Go Canada Go" as loud as we could and threatened to shank one of my buddies if he didn't. They were definitely on something.

LOL, I heard some of the fighting and shit in the middle. I was at the barricade, slightly of to the left...right in front of the guitarist, standing beside a girl in a wheelchair so I had a great view.

Some chick and her friends tried to get to the front but pretty much everyone around me said fuck you...go to the back of the bus, bitch. Maybe if you were hotter...lol

try having children who cant see shit and have swarms of ppl rushing forward
some kid fell and like any good crowd, he was helped back up and him and his dad got the "red sea" treatment, that was cool

as always with these shows
if someone falls, pick em up

For sure. The crowd is pretty friendly at any Canadian concert. Before I got right to the front, I let this girl that was standing behind me (and in front of darthchilli) squeeze in front of me because she's tiny and couldn't see. Then when I wasn't taking pictures, I was trying to prevent the crowd from crushing the chick in the wheelchair...lol. This big dude almost fell on her so I stood between them. I totally smacked this dude in the head with my camera lens and he was like no big deal.

Just don't be a dick and try to get to the front when you arrived 30 minutes late and everyone is cool.

Does anyone else wonder how much money Translink is losing on unpaid fares? I've riden the skytrain a lot the past week and have yet to be asked to show my ticket. One busy night at Yaletown Roundhouse employees were shouting to riders to board the trains without buying fares as it was too busy. I would guess that 1000 or more riders that night alone boarded the trains without buyint fares.

Sven Kramer To Reporter: 'Are You Stupid?'

Dutch speedskater Sven Kramer won a gold medal on the first full day of the Vancouver Olympics. Afterwards, he wasn't too happy about a request from a reporter.

In the below clip, a reporter asks Kramer, "If you can say your name and your country and what you just won here." Kramer quickly interjects: "Are you stupid? Hell no I'm not going to do that."

Yeah haha, good thing she said it was NBC.

To be fair for the reporter, it seems like it was more so that when the editors are cutting the footage for replay ("for tape identification purposes"), they will know who it is and what they won, not actually for the reporting. However, she could have just as easily done it herself.

Originally I heard it wasn't great and there are 3 different sections there, upstairs is like a dining room higher class affair, downstairs has a dining room as well but it's pretty ghetto, then there is the bar side which is pretty nice decent patio lots of tv's etc

the lineups at like 830 were an hour long each side, me and some buddies kinda snuck in and bypassed the line lol fuck it was hectic trying not to get kicked out trying to explain why we were inside without our name down on the list haha

After walking around tonight, the night life just doesn't seem that great anymore. I'm talking about the people on the streets hanging around.

The first 5 days it was actually a celebration of people around the world just gathering to have a good time. Now it's just pot smoking, drunk people bumming around the downtown streets. The whole place is littered with trash everywhere and reeks of dried piss. And I can only imagine it going downhill from here on, until the end of the games.



Anyways, has anyone been to the German/Saxony house? What is it during the day? And at night is it some sort of bar/club/dance place?

After walking around tonight, the night life just doesn't seem that great anymore. I'm talking about the people on the streets hanging around.

The first 5 days it was actually a celebration of people around the world just gathering to have a good time. Now it's just pot smoking, drunk people bumming around the downtown streets. The whole place is littered with trash everywhere and reeks of dried piss. And I can only imagine it going downhill from here on, until the end of the games.


I totally agree with the crowd and funny thing is my friends actually said the same thing and decided to chill tonight. The first few nights had a different type of crowd, now most of the people on the streets at night are the same idiots you find during the fireworks who walk around drunk as fuck and looking to start shit. It'll just go down hill next week when the city starts to empty out and we're left with the trailer trash.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP)—American halfpipe bronze medalist Scotty Lago volunteered to leave the Olympics on Friday after risque pictures of him showed up on the Internet.

Lago, who was awarded his bronze medal Thursday night, was at a party, wearing a Team USA T-shirt when somebody snapped a photo of a woman kneeling below Lago’s waist to kiss his medal. That picture, and another showing him sticking the medal in the woman’s mouth while teammate Greg Bretz looks on, appeared Friday on the TMZ Web site.

Lago apologized to officials at the U.S. Olympic Committee and the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association and decided to go home.

“Scotty Lago is a great athlete, but with that comes a responsibility of proper conduct, and his involvement in this situation is not acceptable,” U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association President and CEO Bill Marolt said in an e-mail. “Scotty realizes his conduct was inappropriate. He has formally apologized and also made a decision to leave Vancouver today.”

In the aftermath of several out-of-competition incidents in Turin, one of which resulted in the dismissal of freestyle skier Jeret Peterson, the USOC has made extra efforts to emphasize athletes be on their best behavior when they’re at the Olympics.

Before the Beijing Games, the USOC began its “Ambassador Program” that athletes are made to complete before they travel to the games.

Lago was a member of a group of snowboarders called the “Frends,” that included Kevin Pearce and Danny Davis, both of whom were badly injured before the Olympics and couldn’t make the trip.

“I put all that aside and rode,” Lago said.

He said he put together one of the best runs of his life to win the surprise bronze on a night overshadowed by Shaun White and his gold-medal performance.

Anyways, has anyone been to the German/Saxony house? What is it during the day? And at night is it some sort of bar/club/dance place?

I don't know, the nightclub scene was still pretty good last night, was at Ginger and Joseph Richard and it was packed with people just having a blast, many hotties and out of towners too. Streets where probably like that because of all the kids that came in for Deadmau that can't get into clubs.

Saxony House turns into a what they call a German Discotech at 11pm, basically a DJ, it was pretty good when I went.

Yea the nightclub scene remains untouched or better because of the new people in town. But its just the people found partying in the streets that get all rowdy over nothing. Guess thats what you get wheb the things are 'free'.

Only one car for golden boy Evan Lysacek: Aston Martin DBS

http://a323.yahoofs.com/ymg/ept_sports_oly_experts__9/ept_sports_oly_experts-716551662-1266702564.jpg?ymkzetCD6kQ5weaE

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — After his dramatic victory in men's figure skating on Thursday night, Evan Lysacek is the man with the golden medal. Now he wants to be The Man With the Golden Gun.

Lysacek's Olympic glory has given him the perfect excuse to indulge two of his favorite interests — cars and James Bond.

The American admitted exclusively to Yahoo! Sports that he plans to reward himself for his Vancouver exploits with a top-of-the-range Aston Martin DBS sports car, the vehicle of choice for the last two Bond films starring Daniel Craig as Agent 007.

"Aston Martin all the way, baby," Lysacek told me, rubbing his hands together. "Got to be the DBS. Just like Bond."

Lysacek currently drives a Range Rover and considered switching to a Bentley Coupe before eventually deciding on the Aston Martin, which starts at $269,000. After attending the Closing Ceremony and fulfilling some promotional obligations in Los Angeles, he will make time to visit a local dealership.

"We know how much Evan likes his luxury cars, and he will enjoy taking a tour of a showroom and test driving the DBS," said Gary Briggs, executive salesman of Aston Martin Newport Beach in Southern California. "The DBS has typical understated elegance and is very much the gentleman's sports car. It is a fine choice for an Olympic champion."

Lysacek can live the Bond lifestyle better than most. After all, he even has a villainous Russian nemesis in Evgeni Plushenko, the deposed Olympic champion who tried to belittle Lysacek for his refusal to perform a quad jump..

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.

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.

Do they let you take a picture with it or touch it?

Seems odd to me that the Stanley Cup would be at an Olympic event. I guess another thing to go see amongst all the glitter and glamour.

all three Canadians through to the quarter finals in edit: not snowboarding, ski cross


Davey Barr just went through to the semis.

Shitty thing is the other two are in the same heat. Only top two go on, so unless it's a 1-2 finish one will be out.

DelBosco, a Canadian makes it through to the semis. Other Canadian took third and is out. So, two Canadians still in it.

I'm putting this up for those who are too busy kissing (jizzing on) the Stanley Cup to look at the scoreboards. LOL

Del Bosco makes it through. He fucked up early in the race, but made a comeback. He's into the finals.

Finals = Gold, silver, bronze, and one no show.


It's good odds.

Story of this guy: Skiing for US. Gets booted off team for Vansterdamning (pot and alcohol abuse). Sister sends him to detox to get his shit together. He now skiis for Canada (because we love pot smokers, lol).

HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!


Del Bosco was in third place, but fell for no apparent reason and lost.

Tragic..............


Would have finished off his story on a high note if he had placed.

Ranked number 2 in the world, but couldn't do it here. That's why the Olympics are what they are, I guess.

$117 million dollars invested over the last 5 years to guarantee Canadians not only get on the podium, but win more medals than any other country.


Canada has put more into athlete development for these games than any other country short of China actually farming athletes.



that being said, alot of our just outside the medals athletes are pretty young. i think 2014 will be a good Olympics

IF they keep the program going after this. Problem is, the political powers in this country consistently operate in the we-want-results-now-or-it's-a-loss realm - they throw a bunch of money at something, and if it doesn't pay out instantly, figured it's a bad idea and shut it down (well, not always... if only that thinking had been applied to the long-gun registry).

Some athletes have to work for a decade before they manage to medal, so let's just hope whoever is charge of the program realizes that and keeps the money coming.

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

http://www.vancouversun.com/Police+force+downtown+liquor+stores+close+early/2591601/story.html

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.

I still see a few wine store open after 7pm. Get your drank on with WINE!!

I'm not a die hard or know it all curling fanatic.

But from watching the highlights during the Olympics - the curling games are pretty exciting.

Its a game based on a lot of strategy, technical merit and skill.

The game is played turn based where each team takes turns to curl a stone down the curling rink. The object of curling is to try and get as close to the center pin (the smallest circle). For each stone you get closest to the pin at the end, you'll score a point. Sometimes the game is so close its literally by the inches.

The action and intensity comes when a team set's up a shot where they steal 2 or 3 points in the last end to win the game or somehow scoring a impossible point when there are many stones blocking their way (know in curling as guards)

Just think as curling as chest on ice but with lots of emotions and crazy trick shots.

VANOC bus driver dies of heart attack while on the job
Passengers were not injured in the incident

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - The last heroic actions of a VANOC bus driver this morning may have saved lives. The driver, a 62-year old man from Minnesota, was on Highway One near Brunette at about 5:00am when he had a heart attack.

He managed to steer the bus into the HOV lane before passing away. The passengers were other VANOC people heading to work - no one was hurt.

^^I worked up at Cypress for a while and it was alright during the day, but at night it got really cold. Make sure you dress somewhat warm because you have to walk about 20 mins to get to where the event is and then back to go home. Oh, and most likely you will be waiting a longgggggggg time to get on a bus back home so make sure you don't line up for the Lonsdale Quay bus, that line is LONG!
