- Wanting to see whether the $1,000,000 Canada Tent was worth my taxes we slipped in only to be underwhelmed by a handful of photo ops, and a few multimedia screens designed for youngsters. While snapping a shot of Emanuel Sandhu a massive alarm went off - thankfully it was a victory alarm as the bobsleigh bronze slid in too. Manitoba was equally as un-enthralling, and the best part of the Ice Cube was the free headphones, and catching an end of the men's curling gold medal match.
- With that gold secured we booked it to catch Matt Mays (and the purple haze?) who put on a decent show, despite the only songs I knew being played while I was lined up to get through security.
- A glimpse of the future was provided by a 3D theatre.... basketball and hockey games are going to be revolutionized!
- Through the rain Blue Rodeo entertained old and young alike. Cuddy and Keelor are true showmen, encoring with Lost Together (giving band member Wayne Petti of Cuff the Duke a verse too!) .
- My third time watching the multimedia fireworks celebration show was easily the best as there was more firepower for the final night than previously. Plus that K'naan song is so darn catchy. Video to come!
- Mother Mother at Robson Square was a sea of 17 year olds trying to mosh (and crowd surf) for some odd reason. Our Olympics being bookended by MM, I was disappointed by the sound at both shows (2 venues) making me wonder if they've fallen off with the new female, or if the sound guy sucks. I'll hope for the latter.
