The party has arrived at the Games!

February 9th, 2010

Bedouin Soundclash

The Vancouver 2010 games are about more than just sports, you know. Sure, having a major international event in Canada is an honor, but I regret to admit that what excites me the most is the entertainment. Two weeks of cool Canadian artists performing at FREE venues all across the city! Uh, does it get any better than that? With the events quickly approaching I’ve compiled the most exciting performances every night from February 12th to 27th.
