Folks started streaming in when the doors opened at 11:00 a.m. and the dance floor was packed and hopping right up until closing time. The green screen experience, where you can get a picture of yourself "virtually" in Saskatchewan, has been a mega hit. I need to get a snap of me with one of those sweet big fish, but I think I'll wait until the line goes down a bit.
Not sure what I did to deserve such good fortune, but the stars all aligned and I got to take in the Opening Ceremonies at BC Place Stadium. WOW. The artistry, the emotion, the feeling of
patriotism and community - it was impossible to be in that room and not be touched and moved.
Lineups going in were fast, coming out took a little longer and felt a little damper. We didn't stay wet for long once we got back to the Pavilion, where Saskatoon's Mobadass and Regina's Def 3 had the joint jumping. By way of evidence, I present to you a short glimpse of the conga line:
Talked to a gal today who runs a downtown club; she told us that last night her friends and staff were texting her constantly about how the Saskatchewan Pavilion was rockin' and was the best place to be - the word is out!
Okay, a guy's gotta eat - more tomorrow,
