We met-up with Kelly at
Canada Place this afternoon to join her team for a scavenger hunt. A
webisode program titled "
XPOD" was organizing the event. They're somehow connected to the TV series, "
jPod ".
I took a photo of the camera girl filming us.
Look, Gordon was working this event.
A lone
Canadian Goose wandering around
Canada Place...
Kelly talking to some goons...
Some meet & greets in the beginning...
Me...
Posing with Priya, one of the characters on the show...
A nice view of the ports...
The box...
It contained the map and riddles for our hunt.
I just had to get one more shot of Priya before we took off.
Sorry, I never got a chance to take photos during our hunt because we were in a rush, but here's some from our rendezvous,
The Red Room. Sadly, our team was the second last to arrive. We all hated that
"sundial" riddle because we spent so much time on it and we couldn't even solve the damn thing!!! Here's some of the organizers of the hunt.
The camera people who followed each team around...
A musical performance for our entertainment...
A man portraying
Douglas Coupland was carried to the stage by the goons.
Gordon played one of the goons.
They held a draw to give away a
Nintendo Wii to one of the participating teams!
This couple won with ticket
#5.
Congratulations!!!
Here's a group shot of this year's teams. Once again, Shellaine and I were teammates.
Here she is performing our first activity, skeet shooting!
We both had to milk this cow, Claire as our second activity. She kept licking me. LOL!!!
Shellaine did all the driving. In between the activities we had to go to various locations to get our next clue.
Here I am in front of Hidden Haven Stables. This was our last activity location and final event.
I chose to ride Rocky, the Palomino.
"Horsies!"
Rocky and the Ed Rocker...
"Giddy-up!"
"Eee Haaawww!!!"
Shellaine on her horse...
Shellaine and I actually arrived at the finish line first, but we were penalized 30 minutes for missing one of the destinations. Officially, we came in second. Oh well, there's always next year.
The 2008 winners...
The rest of the teams began to arrive and as usual Brad's wife, Doreen prepared a meal for all of us.
Chowing down...
Newcomers, Monika and Marek...
Kyle and Dave were also rookies to this race.
We'll get these guys next time.
