I should be down around 7:30'ish ... remember, Cambie Bridge will be closed Wednesday from noon till midnight for Opening day ceremony practice. I still expect there to be plenty of parking as there was last Wednesday and Friday. |

Not coming down tonight, will try to make it out next whenever Fred is around. But I wanted to agree w/ Johnny re parking etc. Also, we did visit downtown over the weekend and ran into a few athletes. Best place to find them is around The Bay Olympic Superstore, because they want to get Canadian-themed Winter Olympic souveniers(sp?) for themselves. Here's a couple pictures of my boy Robbie with competitors we met there: http://www.flickr.com/photos/44473786@N02/4347286502/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/44473786@N02/4346540227/ |

The last couple days I walked by the bay (around 6 when I get off the skytrain) there has been a line up of around 100 people to get inside (one comes out, one goes in). Everybody wants their souvenirs!! |

Hey that's cool Earl, now all we need to do is get them down to Soho's. I did some finagling and can stay later tonight if peeps are still playing. |

I personally met about half the Slovakia Women's Ice Hockey team in the Bay cashier line-up - just as good as meeting the Swedish alpine team as far as I'm concerned. I traded a Vacouver pin with one of them for a Slovakia pin for my son. Because he wasn't there at the time I didn't ask for a picture of all of them - it woulda been strange. The picture I did get of the goalie was later on Robson - she was tall: 5' 11". |

I got one of those jerseys too - can you guys see my other Flikr pics? Hey Johnny: can you tell me how you embed pictures (or direct me to a tutorial if it's complicated) I actually tried what I thought was the right method, but it didn't show up when I clicked the 'preview' button. Then I thought maybe Flikr doesn't allow it, so settled on just using links. |

I just saw the torch run relay. I tried to grab the torch, but I was taken down in a hurry. Now that would be a souvenir. |

Dang Jeffy ... i told ya to toss a few foosballs in the runners path. You woulda had the torch and we could be holding the first Soho Fooslympics Friday  |

I've often wondered what would happen if some torch relayer dropped the thing into some water (either intentionally or by accident). That would be newsworthy. |

Nice sweater Johnny. My knockoff jersey cost me $22 here in Shanghai. Q: Why did the Slovakian lady goalie wear the goalie pad between her legs? A: She wanted something that would last for 3 periods! Apparently, if the torch goes off they have a backup lit somewhere. I suspect it is off camera with a BIC lighter nearby... |
