We're at the mid point of the games out here in Vancouver. And predictably the USA, Germany and Canada are cleaning up. It's not all doom and gloom for the brits though, we got a token Gold medal in the skeleton, which involves throwing yourself headfirst down the luge track. I think I'd have brown substances coming out of my collar attempting this.
Canada scrapped a plucky 3-2 victory against the Swiss to all but seal their qualification for the Men's Hockey Quarterfinals. Which brings me on to some great news... I've been making friends in important places, and managed to square myself away with some Molson Canadian Hockey House VIP passes. Which at $450 a pop, include all day free bar, gourmet restaurant and apparently a 'luxurious upscale lounge environment.' Cash back!
Attended a Victory Ceremony last night, which would have been great fun, but for all the interruptions in beer drinking, to stand up every 5 minutes for the national anthems. A band by the name of Theory of a Deadman were the nights headliners (Think heavy metalband, with cheesy/BKesque lyrics). Curiously the lead singer looked a lot like a cross between Kelly Jones and Robbie Williams, and therefore basically a friend of dorothy's. Anyway After watching the yanks lift a few more medals and having drank beer through a straw (at 10$ a go you've gotta make sure its hitting the spot fast), I attended some birthday, where I spread the JW vibe and then went for a bobsleigh ride...
In marketing, this would be point of sale.
Team Sportsworld getting the practice runs in.
As you can see I got my stickers through so I'll be painting the city Indigo Green and Pink over the coming weeks! That's it for now, look out for the next special edition detailing the highs (free booze) and lows (consequences) of a free $450 night out.
