Electric ave was unbeleivable those 2 weeks. Had a buddy i had gone to HS with who's cousin was the barrister for the Claudios group. VIP treatment at any of their establishments meant bypassing 4 hour long lineups.

So awesome meeting people from all over the world...and the women were especially friendly

.....yeah i went there.

Went to a couple hockey games which were OK...but the ski jumping and the bobsled were a blast.

As mentioned, the vibe in the city was something never experienced since, though was closely matched the following year during the SC run.

Great times to be a Calgarian...pride was exuded in every part of the city and was very palpable to anyone who visited at the time.
