After waiting almost two months, Troy and I were awarded tickets to two events in Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympics. We're going to the men's individual 5,000 meter speed skating final on 2/13, and a men's preliminary hockey game on 2/16. It would have been nice to see the luge or another event I haven't already seen a hundred times like I've seen hockey, but it'll still be pretty cool. Tickets were pretty expensive though, so it's probably a good thing we didn't get all the events we requested.
Now we need to start looking for a hotel and figure out what else we want to do in Vancouver while we're there. I can't wait!
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

I wonder why we requested hockey if we didn't want to go. I still think it will be pretty cool to see a hockey game. And I like speed skating, so I'm excited about that one.
I'm still envious even though hockey wouldn't be at the top of my list either.
I wonder if we could request more tickets to other events...
maybe there's a website, like eBay or Amazon or something, where you could sell your hockey tix for a pretty penny and then use the proceeds to buy ski jumping tickets or whatever someone else might be trying to sell. the danger would be buying counterfeit and thus unusable tickets.
I would be happy to do that, however the crappy company that coordinated all this (CoSport) won't even ship us our tickets until next January and prohibits reselling (I'm not aware of anything they can really do about it though)
