My Dad has a nice idea I hope he follows through regarding the Olympics
He wants to set up a way to connect the families of athletes to people here (Vancouver) who are willing to give them free lodging so they can see their relatives compete. I'm not doing anything for the next few days, so I'm going to see if there is such a thing then go from there and get the ball rolling. I think that'd be pretty cool, I mean it's fucking crazy expensive to stay in any city during the Olympics and just cause you are in them doesn't mean your family can afford to come.
