“…I ate his liver, with fava beans…”

I got to see this old goalie mask today at the Canada Pavilion down at LiveCity on Cambie and Georgia. They had a great hockey display with helmets and skates. Can you imagine this protecting your face very well? I can’t. However, this site shows the history of the goalie mask, if you’re interested. I guess it’s better than just your bare face vs. the puck. Those oldie-time goalies were tough.

Here’s a side shot of the other headgear on display:

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.
