Others painted their faces creatively, dressed in costumes, wore crazy hats, danced and sang around colorful lights at night and animated the olympic streets and the sky train with colorful waving flags during the day.

Weaving present and past, the blog gives different perspectives, working in broadcasting within the International Broadcasting Center yet includes the great fun of experiencing the games as an outsider with no credentials.

Colorful Flags, Colorful Lights, Colorful Forms, Colorful Faces
One wandering red colored form was fancied by the crowds wherever he went, The Real Red Man! This spandex clad mystery super fan of the Vancouver Games was often seen around town spreading his love for Team Canada. When I asked if anyone knew his identity, I would usually get a I-don't-know-shrug of a shoulder. He amped up the crowds in his classic red goggles and his red and white flag worn as his flying maple leaf cape.
