2010 Vanier Cup Highlights

It was a good time as always this year - here are a few highlights:

- We took a 26 person coach to the game. Only 12 of us on board (2 guys met us there) so there was lots of room! Judy was an awesome bus driver.
- Hotel of choice was the "Chateau Laurier". Nice spot, right in the heart of the action. And the place had a wine machine! A wine dispensing machine - now that's class!
- Tasty dinner at the "Grand Cafe" was good eatin' on Friday night.
- We had some good times at "Cosmos" and "Chez Maurice" to fully experience the Quebec City nightlight.
- The tailgate party was unreal. We brought our ironing board, shooters, beer, food, etc. Met tons of people, super friendly Francos. Oh yeah, we dressed up as Santa Clauses again.
- Dirty tried out the A&P bag as a beard which was a nice touch. Skinny wore the red underwear Santa outfit and was declared as the "vrai" Pere Noel.
- The game was sold out - we actually scalped our extra tickets.
- IT Loney was interviewed on TV by Radio Canada and Adam by Le Journal de Quebec. The mandatory media shooter rule was in effect.
- Not overly difficult to "sneak" in a wee bit of medicine in IV bags into the game.
- Laval dominated the game, starting off in the snowstorm early and put a beat down on Calgary winning 29-2. The crowd was fairly happy about the outcome.
- Kenny and JRock get "pig riding" lessons at half time from some locals.
