Ban! Terry Fox: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjgTlCTluPA&fmt=18

Sasha is a 5'2" figure skater, what do you want? Looks good to me anyway:

I meant...now. /full disclosure: I watched this figure skating thingy two weeks ago (appeasing the GF), and I was suprised by her new look--i mean, she looks to have lost some 30 pounds from that pic. no legs, whatsoever. and she now has short hair.

I think only the top 2 US skaters qualified in those championships, and she wasn't in that group. She kinda sucked on what was a "comeback" attempt, or so the commentators said.

I honestly don't know who Terry Fox is; as other mentioned, few outside of CA probably would. will check it out now.

Guh... hung-over slightly from the party at Holland House last night. uhhhh....

LOL...starting the festivities off properly! *thumbs up*

Heineken... that's all they serve there.

It's in Richmond, part of the O-Zone. Minoru arena.

How many Heineken? :hmm:

My buddy rented out his house in Richmond and is staying at his Grandmother's apartment, stumbling distance from Heineken House. I need to get down there at some point.

Ski jumping is done, wasn't terribly exciting, but it was just qualifiers. I miss CBC coverage, hopefully CTV et al can do as well.

Ahh, I have not seen her recently, I'm just going off prior hotness.

I was kind of hoping we would do the AT meet-up at Steamworks because I heard they are going to have a German beer tent right next to there. :awe:

Getting drunk on beer is expensive. At least for me it would be with my tolerance. Perhaps that will change as I lose weight.:hmm:

Well, it was an option, but I heard a few complaints about being downtown during the Olympic madness.

Maybe we can all hit up Irish House near Doolin's at some point.

I don't really remember. 8? 10?

I was only slightly drunk, but my old age makes me feel it pretty hard the next morning.

But at steamworks, the beer is so fantastic that it's worth it

A few of my friends went to Irish House 2 nights ago. It was free that night, but apparently it'll be $20 cover from now on. Although I also heard rumours that's going to be the standard fare all over town

OP needs a poll. Who do you think? Gretsky, Michael J. Fox, Hologram of Terry Fox, Harper, Chretien, Donovan Bailey (since there probably won't ever be a Summer O in CA)?

i think it will be The Great One. (hoping)

TSN did a poll, and the majority of Canadians picked Gretz to do the honour.

I heard that the VANOC CEO said it definitely wasn't going to be Gretz. Rumours flying around are that it's the Terry Fox hologram.

God, what a joke. I can get into trend-whore Gastown nightclubs for less cover than that.

I was under the impression that there would be no cover, but that drink prices would be a bit inflated. I'll still go by to check it out, but if that's the charge, then they're not getting my money.

Thats horrible. My condolences to the family and teammates of this athlete.

The athletes have been complaining many months prior that the track was too fast, but IOC gave the go anyways. A really horrible tragedy.
