wow, they look real.

When is the torch lighting? At the end? Close to midnight?

 

[OK!]

Narrating what? I thought it was Bob Costas?

Donald Sutherland was actually narrating from within the stadium, over the PA.

Ugh, my DH turned the bedroom tv to the regular NBC and not the HD one. So, we just watched that beautiful stuff on regular!!!

He is in so much trouble.

I asked WMAlex to hold off until after the torch lighting.

If I suddenly go *poof* you will know he didn't go for it.

Proud to be Canadian! I've been inside BC Place many times for football games, and its exciting to see how well the ceremonies are being done.

 

[OK!]

Wow...just when you think they can't top what's already been done...

 

[Illuminations_Rocks]

Are they?!?!?! I thought maybe it was like painted on.... OMG!

 

[OK!]

The sparklers in the heels are kinda cool.

 

[Scornelius]

[Illuminations_Rocks]

Eh, not thrilled by this part. It's ok. Maybe because I am confused how this song relates to ... anything that is happening.
