I would do any-thing for Gold

We're still alive. Yesterday was the first time we haven't posted a blog so I'm sure that at least my mom was wondering what was going on.

Two nights ago we went to the Heineken house at the Richmond Ozone not too far from our hotel. Pretty crazy place. We went at around 11 o'clock to find a huge line of about 300+ people trying to get in. After much debate we waited in line for about half an hour. When we heard some rumours that they were not letting any more people in we started to walk away. As soon as we started to walk away they decided to let everyone that was left in the line (only about 20 people) into the House.

Inside it was comparable to a rave/beer garden. All they sold obviously was Heineken and it was a completely cash free bar - you had to buy a card for $5 and then put money onto it. There was a Netherlands store in the building where they were selling pretty much everything orange. After we met up with Imran and his cousin we hung out at the House for a few hours and then headed back to the hotel around 2am.

Yesterday Jarrod went to see his cousin and Nicole went to the Island to see some of her friends for the day. Shannon, Corey, Dana and I stayed around the hotel and watched some Snowboard Cross. Once the other two got back to the hotel we left for downtown to meet up with Dave Bedford at the Canada house. The Canada house is different from most of the other Houses in the city. The Canada house is a VIP house where most Canadian athletes will go after they win a medal to do interviews and such. It is on the 6th floor of a Bay store. Lawren and Sean also met us there with a few of their friends and after chatting with Dave for a few hours and sampling the open bar we left around 11.

Today we are going to watch the Mens hockey game at a bar downtown. We are talking about the possibility of going to Whistler for the night but we aren't sure about the logistics.

As I'm writing this we just won our second gold - Snowboard Cross!!! We're looking into getting medal ceremony tickets! Tomorrow curling!

I will try to post a longer one tomorrow when I have more time. Hope everyone is enjoying their Reading Week or Work Week, depending.
