Olympics
 

The 2010 Winter Olympics have just been awarded to Vancouver BC.....Canada.

Is anyone making arangements to go ?

Congratulations to Vancouver and all of BC! Should be a real economic boon!

Great news ^_^

Will be fun to see our hockey team win gold in Canada :P

they'd better upgrade the main roads in the city and get skytrain going or i'm leaving town for a couple weeks in 2010 ;)

not much into winter sports, but congrats to van

I live in Canada and heard the news when I got into work today. Very proud that the games are coming back. If anyone knows how to aquire tickets let us know. Cheers.

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!...very close though...too close. but this is GREAT! ok 7 more years waiting now though :p

Congrats to Vancouver.

I my own selfish way I'm happy. Maybe now I can watch the Olympics in real time instead of tape delay.

Nawwwww, the networks will find a way to screw it up and make me watch tape of events in my own time zone.

I was planning on moving to Vancouver within a year or two anyways, the Olympics will provide a huge boost for the hospitality industry there, which means I would have no problem finding work. With Beijing having the 2008 summer games, I really didn't think they'd give the 2010 games to South Korea, especially with neighbours who are card carrying members of 'The Axis of Evil'

I'm in Seattle. Might be nice to just take a run over the border. Although, I remember the ticket prices for the Utah games were honestly cost prohibitive. Oh well, if I don't go, at least i'm in the right time zone for cool live coverage.

For Himbo: not sure how or where to get tickets. But here's a tip: I went to Vegas a few years ago. My travel agent gave me a name and number of a guy IN Vegas who got us pit seats at Sigfried and Roy. Yeah, those are difficult to get. My point is, the best tickets will come from good connections like that, and most likely NOT from Ticketmaster. Good luck! Start making some calls now.

That is great news for Vancouver.

I guess that sews things up for Toronto for many years to come... Can't see the Summer games being awarded here any time soon.

I've got dibs on flyman's couch!

congrats Vancouver - it´ll be the games best ever!!

Way to go Canada! They were a lot of fun when they were in Atlanta and I was living there.

it's great that canada got them this year. I know Toronto has been fighting for it for years.

hell, I have trouble making plans for the weekend, yet alone 7 years into the future...

congrats to our neighbors to the North!

if you show up.....you've definately got a couch to stay on.

2010....AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH...............BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM

wow. they still persist in the olympics? ah well, every so often America needs a break from being the leading scandal wordlwide.
