I went down to the grey cup festivities in downtown Edmonton tonight.

I was quite impressed. Great corporate involvement - ski track, zip line, live music stages outside. Shaw conference center inside was awesome as most teams had big conference rooms booked. Long lines. People in good moods. Most of Saskatchewan was there I think.

Very smart to have a booth selling 50/50 tickets in advance of the game. Edmonton really supports the 50/50 tickets as is. It would not surprise me if tomorrow's is over $500K

Fun times. The organizing committee did a great job with it.

Bonus: I got to meet Pinball Clemons. Big smile, so friendly with everyone he met.
