I am certainly looking forward to the 5 minutes of actual sports to break up the 55 minutes of human-interest bullshiat in any given hour of the TV coverage.

The rumor is that Rush will play.
Supposedly "Closer to the Heart". Hope so. Pretty cheap round, so far! |

No, but I'll be in Vancouver sometime the week of March 8-12 for a Tech Scout for a TV Pilot. Can I take a raincheck on the beer?

Slight chance I'll be there around that time too. I'll surely be in Seattle and Bellingham that week. I want to try to get to Vancouver too.

The pics are from 3 days ago.
The majority of the outdoor winter events are being held in Whistler. Nasty start, with the luge thing. Edit: beyond nasty, it turns out. ![]() ![]() Last edited by creaturecat; 02-12-2010 at 11:21 AM.. |

THere are still some tickets available.
Some of the events are not expensive. Downtown will be 1 big party. Lots of free entertainment. |
