I guess the traffic at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics ticketing site either died down or their IT crew did something. (Or maybe my friend's praying paid off...) I got through again, and I got tickts for 2 events and one victory ceremony. I tried getting a third, but tix were sold out. So...I'll be seeing some luge and ice hockey. There are still lots of tickets for hockey (especially women's) and curling. I haven't paid attention to the schedule of ticketing plans at all, but unless they plan on releasing more tickets, I don't think there will be any legitimate ways to buy tickets later on. In 2009, the committee is unveiling a plan to release 10,000 (free?) tickets for various victory ceremonies. I am really looking forward to the Olympics, provided everything goes fantastically ;-) The social climate will probably get interesting, too. |

You could have put yourself in the lottery too as I have discovered! I thought the preliminary lottery was for BC residents only, but when I tried getting tickets today, they said the system for all Canadians!!!

I was watching "The Office". Dwight was talking about the event where they ski, shoot and then ski more.
He said he'd win the gold. He'd just stay behind, shoot all the other competitors and then ski his way to the gold. ;)

When 2010 rolls around, make sure to watch the winter Olympics on TV! Luge looks like fun!

BWAHAHA Ah, Dwight is so funny! Rainn Wilson is one of my favourite actors. I ought to look for more of his work to watch.

I think competing in the luge would be so exciting! It's like sitting in a water slide...but with no water...and while you're attached to someone else.

I was ready to give up because it was such a frustrating experience. I'm glad I didn't give up, though!

You can luge by yourself. There are singles and doubles. You wouldn't catch me sitting in another man's lap! I wonder if any of them ever get wood on the way down!

Now why did I think luging couldn't be a solo sport?! Would you want another guy sitting on your lap?
I bet wood is abundant. That's what I will look for when I see the lugers in their tights! YEAH!
