Opening ceremonies for the Olympics were today. It has officially started. My seventeen days of sporting overload. I have set our DVR up for the next week or so, and I have a feeling that we are going to fill it up fairly quickly unless we actually watch them every night. Okay, it is probably more me filling up the DVR, but Raina does watch most of them with me, if not all of them. We are about to watch the Opening Ceremonies and I am sure we have a few events recording for tomorrow. I even got a new shirt today at the Nike Store to support my country. Raina got it for me for my birthday. It is pretty stinking awesome.
While I was out and about with Raina today, we noticed a flyer for an art gallery opening for tomorrow night. It is a Star Wars art show of all things. I couldn't believe my luck of seeing that flyer one day before opening night. A kickoff night with food trucks and music from the Cantina Band. It sounds like it is going to be totally awesome. I am pretty sure Raina and I are going to head down there tomorrow night. Anyone else is welcome to join us if you like, especially any other Star Wars fans such as myself. It is close by in Westminster so join us as I go dream about all the art renderings that I wish I could buy and take home with me. Sounds like a good time either way.
