1) They had me at flickr pins. And then they pulled out some Olympic pins. WHAAAAAAAAAAT?
2) They gave us food and beverages
3) Did I mention the Olympic pins?
4) Then a member of the IOC came to tell us the following (please note, this is my summary. Not a direct quote):

I guess we weren’t clear. We’ve talked to our lawyers. You guys can post all the photos you want of the Olympic games – even at events or anywhere else – as long as you’re not selling them for money, it’s cool with us. SHARE YOUR OLYMPIC PHOTOS!

Best. Flickr. Party. Ever.

I didn’t see that coming at all. Then we ate free crab macaroni, lobster wings and prime rib!

It was a glorious night. And I met Kimli.

Just a couple more photos from last night here.

The bad news? A 3 1/2 hour line up to see the Olympic medals at 10:00 am. Sadly, I was unable to schedule in a 4 hour lunch today, so I opted to take in the Mint Pavilion Lite tour -the good news!
