So today, Monday, February 22nd, Laurie Logan and I head out to the Surrey Celebration Site to check out what's hot and what's happening. Turns out that the site is closed on Monday AND Tuesday (FYI!!!!) so we end up going on a tour.

It's a pretty cool layout and I've gotta say that it's definitely a more family friendly zone. With tons of stuff for the kids to try out (curling, tobogganing, skating, PLUS a kids zone!) the little ones will definitely be busy, just bring something to keep them entertained in those long lineups.

The concert lineup for this Saturday is STELLAR!!! Kuba Oms, Jon & Roy, Hey Rosetta!, You Say Party! We say Die!, Tokyo Police Club and Wintersleep. A solid lineup. So if you want to bypass the ridiculous lineups here in Vancouver, the Surrey Celebration Site is definitely where you wanna be. I say you try taking the skytrain there. If you're like me and foolish enough to pick the person with the WORST sense of direction to be your co-pilot (aka: Laurie Logan), then you'll spend a good 45 minutes lost and end up at a place called the 'T Barz'. See video.

That's it for me. Peace out!

So on Saturday, February 20th, my good friend Dar managed to get her hands on 4 tickets to a medal ceremony at BC place. Obviously, we were all PUMPED!!! Canada was getting a medal that night, so we were ready to hoot, holler and scream to our hearts content... PLUS, the Stereophonics were performing that night. It honestly doesn't get better than that right?

We had amazing seats but it turned out that the entire medal ceremony was being held in Whistler, so we watched it all on giant TV screens. Seriously? People PAY for this? Pppffffftt. If it weren't for the Stereophonics concert, I would have been pretty choked.

The band ROCKED and Laurie Logan, Sandra Klaric and I managed to snag an interview with Kelly Jones (dear GAD he's smokin' hot!!!!), lead singer of the band. See video....

Being the sneaky bunch we are, we managed to grab a picture next to the infamous opening ceremony cauldron (you know...the one that didn't work properly... :P) and I had a moment of insanity and managed to almost get myself stuck in a giant plastic ball (I'll look for it in the closing ceremonies and say, 'See? See? I was stuck in THAT....', like it's something to be proud of). See video.

Finally, after passing on a few lineups, the girls and I decided to walk around Downtown and found ourselves dancing in the streets. Literally. We came across a stage by the Plaza of Nations (right outside the casino) where there were singers belting out some vintage tunes. The girls and I joined the other random 12 people dancing in the street and well...you know... danced in the street! See video.

And the rest is a blur and/or off limits. ;D
