Two fans of CityCaucus.com meet Daniel & Mike during GlobalTV's interview

Streets alive!

A rockin' power duo attracts a crowd at Granville & Georgia
There's been a power duo playing on the corner beside the art exhibit on the Granville Mall, I've not caught their names yet (maybe someone can comment and tell me who they are). You walk out of the Vancouver City Centre Canada Line station and there they are, drawing crowds, whacking the tubs and honking their horn. It's just a sample of the new energy happening on Vancouver's downtown streets, including hundreds of 2010 volunteers wearing their light blue "smurfs" uniforms.

Rapper Classified has his own take on O Canada
Hey, it's Friday night and we're only a WEEK AWAY from the 2010 Games!! It's a reason to get pumped, isn't it?? Unless you like Old Skool hip-hop style you might not like Classified's version of our national anthem, but I think it's a whole lot of fun. Beaver suits, Mounties, and tea-stained Canadian history films are all sent up in this lovely little slice of Can Con.

What a week, and it just gets better

City crews put together new street furniture on Granville Street
Sporting my shiny new 2010 Games Transit Pass I returned home on the Canada Line after an evening out Thursday night. I sat patiently waiting for a connection bus at King Edward & Cambie, and watched the Vectorial Elevation light show start its first night cutting up the sky. Earlier I saw a 2-man band hold the attention of a crowd down at Granville & Georgia. The light beams and lively streets made me feel like this isn't Vancouver – it's Gotham City, and the big beams are a signal to the Dark Knight himself.
