Olympic Torch through our town this afternoon

Somebody posted a vid of the torch relay yesterday. This was at 41ST & Victoria.
I live just off 28TH & Victoria.

So cool, I wanted to go this year so bad! I LOVE ice skating and some of my favorites are competing. But the prices for the individual events are astronomical!!!! I could swing the air fare and stay with friends, but the tickets were just too much!

I wouldn't go even if I had the money but I hear tickets for events are being resold at cost or below.

Cost is $300 and up per event! I have been looking online and the cheapest ticket I have found for any event was $291, and that was with an obstructed view! The ice skating tickets are pricey.

My friend is going to a practice session for FREE today, I am so jealous!

And dont underestimate those guys in the black olympic suits running on either side. I saw a guy go for the torch on one video and they really messed him up and left him laying there. lol.
