I've always loved the Olympics. Now I also love: - Vancouver - Canadian hospitality - Quatchi, Miga, Sumi AND Mukmuk - Stanley Park - high-density neighborhoods with mountain views - Nanaimo bars - black-market Team Canada hoodies and much, much more. I can't say enough good things about our Canadian Olympics experience. Or for that matter, about our Canadian hosts for making it happen!

And don't forget, one of our nieces is an "NFC Championship Game baby."

Ditto to all of this.

I'm Marcia to your Jan, I won't try and deny it . . .

But could you please report who actually first got you onto VC?

Nostalgia, indeed! WATB busts out the Airstream trailer -- I feel like it's 2003 again!

Same here.

That is also exactly what I was thinking when I read that. And yeah, I wouldn't have been nearly as discreet as that . . .

I can't believe gogo hasn't chimed in yet, to say how close we were to walking out of the Rick Springfield vehicle Hard to Hold. But we didn't! We sat through all 93 awful minutes. Lord, that was a bad movie.

What a great, great show. For all of the reaons that have already been mentioned. Although the Greek is not my favorite venue either, that sure didn't seem to matter last night, when I was seeing my favorite band in the world alongside some of my favorite people in the world. Couldn't have asked for much more . . .

As a proud alum of Thomas Edison Elementary School, I'm going to take this as a personal insult and quit the board.

Yay babies!!! She's beautiful, Judy. And that pic with Miles is priceless. Can't wait to meet her next month!

Untrue. You also now know who HacMan is. (Our brother bumped into him on the street yesterday.)

We actually weren't that close to the stage, but we were in the first row of the raised area, so right in his line of vision. Also, I should point out: It wasn't just that U was not doing the hands. After he urged everyone to do it, she said, "No." I was standing right next to her, and I didn't think it was said that loud, but apparently it carried directly to the stage. Because Colin looked shocked, and glared at her, and said, "Did you just say 'No'?!?" So then he went straight into enforcer mode, and we were all bullied into putting our hands up, but apparently Uyen's still weren't h

(Since we're not starting new threads here) The Warfield, San Francisco, 4/26/07: Colin scolded Uyen! (For refusing to do "ticker tape hands" . . .)

Sorry JB, but gogo is all about the Lucas:

I'll try to put aside all thoughts of the Kennedy assassination, and concentrate strictly on gogo's birthday. Have a great one!!!

A Days thread!!! And now, a Steve "Patch" Johnson avatar!!! I VC . . .

Get out!!! OMG, this so brings me back. I swooned to the video for "Perfect Way" more times than I can count during my formative years. Hmmm, too bad I don't have the energy of my 15-year-old self, or else I might join you at Slim's . . . Green (although something tells me he doesn't still have that floppy hair . . .)

I agree with every one of these statements.

Not before I drag it down a little bit further. Later, later tonight:

Your birthday, your birthday Your first day on Earth day . . . Have a great one!!!

Ah, what a night it was . . .
