Ack, last day of skating! Nooooo!!! 10 million depressions. Slept in really late, missed Dash Tours brunch. Went to BC place anyway to get my Dash package, free umbrella, media guide, and some other stuff I've not even looked at LOL Over to the rink in time for the gala, which was really great. PML at Plushy's Sex Bomb program!
Went and saw Sharon, Tara, Beth, etc.. again and told them I wasn't coming out that night. They talked me into going though. LOL I went for dinner first with my Aunt. We went to the Old Spaghetti Factory in Gas Town and went to see the Steam Clock. On the way to Gas Town we were stopped by a guy on the street that wanted to sell us something, but since we weren't from Vancouver we managed to get out of it. However we were talking to the guy and it turns out that his house (probably his parents house) is right around the corner from mine. How weird is that?!
Back to the Hyatt where Sue had joined us, and also SkaterDon, who was extremely nice :) Went outside with Meghan and discovered I love menthol cigarettes! (not enough to smoke them all the time though..yuck, glad I've never started smoking for real) Tara and I chased some police into McDonalds so she could have her photo taken with them. Then went and stalked the skaters for photos as they arrived back from the reception.
Was into the Merlot on Sunday. Whee!! And so had loads of courage to go from 'cool bar chick' to ' agressive pathetic lobby chick'. Had photos taken with...everyone it seems (YAY!). My favourites though have to be the ones with Gwendal, PMM and Victor Kraatz. :) Although...the ones with PPT and PJZ are good too.
Last night in Vancouver...had to go to the Crime Lab to say goodbye! Off we went in a taxi, the driver didn't think they'd let us in as the lights were off, etc.. We knew better, but he stayed put till they'd let us inside. Why don't the locals know about this place?!
Had more Fingerprints, smoked more cigarettes, and generally had a good time. Spoke to the locals that were there, but found that Jackson, Phoenix, etc.. weren't there. Sharon chatted up the bartender (I forget his name) and he went around the room telling us who all was gay, straight and in the closet LOL
Tara had the great idea to go to Denny's for food before going back to the hotel. Sharon was in a void and couldn't come so we dropped her off at the Pinnacle on the way by. Wahh! Won't see her again for...who knows how long?! :( Off to Denny's...Tara had her beer from the Crime Lab with her, and had to leave it outside on the sidewalk. I'm sure a homeless sort thought that he'd died and gone to heaven when he found that sitting there. Sat and ate our food, Tara had a cheeseburger with bacon, I had a 'Moon over My Hammy' and...well, I forget what Mandie had. Left Denny's, found a taxi and went off to the hotel.
Another tearful goodbye with Tara and Mandie, and then I was off to my room again. It was...5am..or something. And went right to bed (I think).
