And do partake in the W2 Culture + Media House blog/ events etc. You voice can be added to the others in providing a counter-blance to the “hype”.. .which many of us no longer dial into.

All fixed now

“Does anyone remember the names of any Mayor from the cities that hosted the Olympic Games, winter or summer, say, in the past 20 years? My point exactly! So, Gregor, open W2 while you can, cut the drama, get your well worn tights and ballet shoes and… Demi-plié, 1,2, Glissade, 3,4, Jeté en avant, 1,2 Arabesque, 3,4, hold it, hold it, applause…and bow. Curtain”

THE PENNY HILL SHOW

I wish you could read this aloud in high pitch and fast, same as a “Silent” shot in “undercranking”.
Scene1/ T4; Interior. Office. Day time.
We see Penny talking over the phone: “How are things at the City, anybody working in here these days? How embarrassing for me, for that, I should be asking someone in my Repo team who knows someone related to someone working here that really does work in the working department. Nah, too much of a hassle, I’ll better ask a Volunteer”

FRANKENSMILE

By the way, to all Volunteers out there, please, please loosen that surgically enhanced looking smile of yours when you answer to the question”Could you point me to the Washroom, please?” It freaked me out, not to say that you completely blocked my prostate function for fifteen minutes.

HI, MY NAME IS DICK. LADY DICK.

This is the absolutely last call for you to book your pole dancer/ athlete during the opening ceremonies. “Georgia Straight” might give you a hand with that, in full colour. Anything that’s booked with less than 24 hours notice it’s going to cost you double. Like everything else around. I’m starting to feel sad for the accounting profession. So much to hide, so little time!

STREET SWEET STREET

A group of homeless people are planning a one week vigil on behalf of people with homes. They will spend one night inside one’s home so they can experience firsthand the warmth and cosiness others can only read about from the pages of the Real Estate Weekly. One sponsor may provide them with English breakfast and Cart Valet parking. Gordon Campbell’s (who’s known to like his bird from KFC) bungalow was drawn for Tuesday. Toonie day!

OLYMPIC FELLOWS

All criminals caught by Police during the Games will be identified as “Olympic felons” so they could be easily differentiated from the real ones. Lean on an official vehicle, look -up at the CCTV cameras for more than 5 seconds, or have your Roast Lamb Dinner at Olympia’s (Not an Olympic backer) on Denman and you’re IT!

THE ELEVENTH COMMANDMENT

After a thorough check inside The Ark of the Covenant, archaeologists found an eleventh tablet containing the words: “By the way, don’t bestow Olympic Games on to other people!” Yep, I always knew that there were more. My wife’s shopping list is bigger than that, for Goodness’ sake!

We live in Vancouver and this keeps us busy.

W2 Culture + Media House _will_ indeed change the discourse about the games. Just like Twitter and the other social media outlets have already begun to affect old media. The old Centralized control of the message has been given the boot for good. And there is no getting the genie back in the bottle. A thousand voices and a thousand sources lighting the blog-sphere.

PS that American News Reporter that was denied entry to Canada can now add his voice to the debate.
