The Grey Cup Flu

Well we are about 24 hours away from the 93rd Grey Cup. We have some Vancouverites that aren't really enjoying the excitement and the party that has come along with it. Sure some people are bitter that the B.C. Lions choked again and aren't in the game, again.

Mostly our sources liken the core of the city as being more like the Cloverdale rodeo with guys in terrible large cowboy hats or other ridiculous fanwear "walking around with cans of pilsner in their hands." Then again, that's kind of how you'd expect people that live in Yale Town to act when being overrun like that. The Province told us to play nice: "And to the fabulous citizens of the Lower Mainland: Be good to our visitors. Try not to be too smug about the tee time you have booked next week. Be patient. And, most importantly, when you are asked for the hundredth time "which way to the beer tent," tolerantly smile and point our guest in the right direction."

Smug? Like that is a problem and thanks but we'll keep our smugness and pretentions thank you very much. Pete McMartin calls this a chance for Vancouverites to enjoy a "cultural field trip". Come on. I was at the Granville Room last night and it was like a three hour parade of large foam cowboy hats and guys who looked like they were ready to be shot out of a cannon.

You can find out where the events are here.
