Vancouver Olympics: Day 14 Highlights

- Things got a little wild the night before leading to this:

- The confiscated weapons at the Vancouver Police Museum were again super gruesome, but the History Walking Tour of the Downtown Eastside that followed was even better. Led by a well-educated historian we toured through Chinatown and Gastown as well in an engaging two hour history lesson.
- Underway already, the women had a lead in the hockey game against the US and wouldn't give it up, as we popped into a dive bar to watch them win the Gold.
- Apparently to accommodate that game, the Ill Scarlett concert was moved ahead meaning we only saw the final handful of songs. The crowd was small but onstage the energy was still high - I could have used a full set.
- More beers down on The Corner (name of the bar) to watch a figure skating medal, grabbed a veggie poutine and streamed the Colbert Report we'd seen at the live taping.
