The Bell Cube gave me tickets last week, thanks again Jeff. Because now I am officially hooked on the game.
It was Russian VS Latvia’s Women’s Qualifying, intense:
And apparently watching the men is that much more intense plus they get to body check. Want to see.
1 – wait till 10 minutes after the event starts
2 – find a guy on the street yelling “tickets”
3 – throw out a ridiculously low number, at this point they are out money and want to recoup
4 – expect to pay like, 75% less than the face value
Common sense stuff, eh.
I have video of me telling you all this but doubt I’ll edit it.
Meet my co-workers, that’s Mark on the left and Hosea on the right. Both are reporters and both were jealous when on the Skytrain a cop gave me a rare pin that lights up.
I might be the only person here not collecting Olympic pins.
We’re taking heat in the international press for the Games being “a disorganized Olympics”; I disagree.
I’m not saying gloss over everything because it’s Canada, but rather because I don’t see it.
Executing an event of this magnitude reqires a ridiculous amount of details, logistics, and the like. Think about the last dinner party you threw and times that by a billion.
Some things are going to go awry – how could they not – but if you were to judge these Games based on a smile-o-metre, then it’s a success.
