The Fans that Wrecked My City

Like I always said, "Vancouver fans are the worst!" Sure the riots may have been sparked by a small group of anarchists, but did those Canuck lovers have to act like sheep and join in on the melee?!? Anyways, northStudio360 made this great video of Vancouver's Second Stanley Cup Riot. It offers a 360 degree view of the disgraceful event which makes you feel like you're in the middle of it all. Click here or this entry's title to watch it.

A Beautiful Day to Work

Make us proud tonight, Lucic!!! This morning, I bussed over to UBC's Thunderbird Stadium for work. Blake and Lisa were our wranglers today. Are you kidding me? Someone actually brought a 2 litre bottle of Coke to work!?! Is it work or is it a picnic? LOL! I (Showbiz Management) thought I'd take in some sun and sit outside. Adiam (In-Motion) and Brad (Local Color)... The Millennial Time Machine... I wish I could use this to go back to the '94 Playoffs. ;-) Oh wow, we spotted a Dragonfly up close! This was a pleasant surprise. Not only was I (Showbiz Management) hired as a background performer, but I also had to be a photo-double! Cha-ching!!! Beef Stroganoff for lunch! There's Dan enjoying his lunch under the sun. See? I'm (Showbiz Management) prepared for the riots tonight. ;-) Sure I (Showbiz Management) was missing Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, but at least I was making money. ;-) Ntsikie had an acting role today! She played the 'Frightened Employee'. Oh look what crafty made, a loser cake! We want the what? LOL!
Production: Click the entry's title.
Type of Call: Cattle, 220 Background.
Length of Call: 8 1/4 hours.
Yay, Tim Thomas won the Conn Smythe Trophy after the game! He beat the Canucks by shutting them out! There goes Zdeno Chara lifting up that mug! And now, the MVP of this year's playoffs... Congratulations to Milan Lucic and the Boston Bruins for winning the Stanley Cup this year!!! Of course after the game, the worst fans in the NHL got frustrated and began a riot! The city mobilized the riot squad, but they could only do so much. The idiots were so brazen even in front of all the cameras around them! Oh sure, these aren't true Canucks fans. Well then, this guy must be wearing a fake jersey or something. ;-) This marshmallow roast will put Vancouver on the map again. It's '94 all over again. :-( What a fucken loser!!! Is this what we live for?!? Lighting cars on fire and looting?!? A beautiful day turned into a terrible night. It's a good thing I went straight home after work. ;-)

I'm in Heaven!

In Heaven? Well, it felt like it. I watched the Boston Bruins win Game Four of the Stanley Cup Finals... while surrounded by three cute dogs! Here are Daisy, Charlie, and Kailey! They all know who loves them. ;-)
Go Bruins Go!!!

Working the Canucks Game

On the way to work today, I ran into Bobbi-Rae! Check out the replica Stanley Cup riding in the back of that pick-up. LOL! They've got quite the street party going on by Rogers Arena! Once again, a lot of people were dressed like Brynn today. ;-) We finally entered the arena. The place was looking pretty impressive with all the towels laid out on every seat. It's been awhile since I last worked for the KaiZen Creative Group, but with the opportunity to be this close to a Stanley Cup Finals game, I just couldn't pass it up! Jaclyn, Meghan, and Kathy were all working with me. It was a pleasure working with these girls! We were all in awe of the arena. I just couldn't stop taking photos. Seriously, that looks cool! They're just missing one banner. ;-) Towel Power!!! I could use this jersey! It was time to get to work! Our job was to hand-out Upper Deck trading cards to all the ticket holders that arrived at our assigned gate. The job was so easy and it was pretty fun! After we were done, we got a chance to watch the opening ceremony! We were all excited! The place went nuts when Mark Donnelly began to sing our national anthem! Honestly, the atmosphere in here was nothing short of electrifying! I'm so glad I took this assignment and thankful to Tina for referring me. Game on!!! It's been awhile since I last watched a game here. Where's my main man, Lucic?!? It certainly was an awesome experience!
Gratitude to Tina for the hook-up!!! After work, I made my way over to Granville Street. It was crazy out here too! I decided to see Fatty at the Roxy. I ended-up watching the rest of the game here. Eventually, the numbnuts won in overtime and everyone spilled out into the streets. It's a shame I don't follow this team anymore because it would have been nice to share in the jubilation. It's still quite the sight though. PBO spotted! Nice legs! It's almost like the Olympics of 2010. Almost... Robson Street was busy too! I just had to get out of here. Hey look, I bumped into Shaun! I think he's a fan because he's dressed like Brynn. LOL!
