I am deeply grateful for the ability to be in Vancouver during the Olympics, and most importantly, for the amazing experience of witnessing Canada win their 14th gold medal in hockey! As you can imagine, the streets were crowded with people wanting to see the game, and even though the game was scheduled for the afternoon, at 9 AM people lined up around the block to get into pubs and restaurants. The outside screens weren’t much better, since it was difficult to see the screen with so many people around. We needed to find a different vantage point. And we did.
Right across the street from the large LED screen at the Robson Square there is a Chapters, and it was empty! People were crowding the street trying to peak at the action on the screen in-between the heads and arms of the people in front of them, while we just went into Chapters, got to the second floor, and pulled up some comfy reading chairs right to the glass to watch the entire hockey game above the crowd! Some people noticed us up there and followed suit, and by the time the game got started that section of Chapters was packed!
I have to thank the Chapters management for not kicking a loud crowd out of their store and for even bringing some ice-cream sandwiches and candy for people to snack on.
So where in your life can you have the crowd follow you instead of the other way around?
Until next time,
V
