The Opening Ceremonies had not even began when the naysayers had something else to crow about. I said all yesterday I hope they don’t. Complaints about traffic, costs, weather, snow, sponsorship, begin to look more trivial compared to someone’s life. Maybe people will realize how good life really is in Vancouver and that people are trying to make it better, constructively or maybe they’ll keep chanting “K-K-Kanada, Shame on you for living in K-K-Kanada”…

During the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, I attempted to make timely blog postings, but they just were not very focussed…

All the naysayers seem to neglect to mention the huge injection into the Vancouver art scene the Olympics is. BOB has the Trimpin installation in their offices, the Artwalk starts this weekend, I’ve already seen the Blue Dragon, I’m seeing the Neil Young Project at the Queen E, and I’ve mentioned the free Wilco concert before, but my coworker Will just sent me this list of free shows in Vancouver all starting this Friday…

I had some troubles getting their network to work, but I’m at the now world famous Irish Heather on Carrall Street updating my blog. The big news is probably still the protests, the social media, and the lack of snow at least inside the city…

If today’s commute on the number 3 Main Street bus was any indication, it would be quicker for me to walk to work during the Olympics…
