So over this weekend I went with Daniel Craig and others to Edmonton to watch the game, and see the party on Whyte Ave. Unfortunately, the rental company gave us a smaller car, so Scott had to go home since there wasn't room, so it started on a low note, but let me assure you, it was absolutely amazing once we got there. After 13 hours of driving there, the Oilers kicked the living shit out of the Hurricanes, and best them 4-0 (should have been 5-0, but dont worry about, if you saw the game, then you know what I mean). So of course the entire city was happier then pigs in shit, and also drunk by 9:30pm, so after the game, all the hockey fans took to Whyte Ave, and cheered their asses off, it was awesome. The only thing was that the police didn't close off the street, so there was a buncha them sitting by the curb, and if ppl so much as j-walked, they got slammed into the drunk tank. The cops were being hardasses, there was even a sniper on a rooftop with rubber bullets just in case and drug sniffer dogs in the streets to. In the end, almost 300 people for arrested, and i think 2 people got tazered for being idiots. The cops even smelt my coke to make sure it wasn't booze and then threatened to arrest us for standing on the street waiting for out friend. The crowd was awesome though, everything giving each other high fives, something you'll never see in Winnipeg. Imagine Portage Ave with the sidewalks filled with people attempted to move, but you cant get very far, so people are pushing, and the cops are watching all this, FUCKING CRAZYNESS I TELL YOU. It was definitely a site worth paying the money to see, too bad our trip was short as hell though, either way, I had a great time, and I have a buncha pictures to show the madness. I'm super glad I went out on a whim and just took off, even though I have stupid amounts of work to do, but what else is new :). Now, I need to sleep, but i've got too much energy, yet I work in 7.5 hours...so SHIT, and goodnight to you all.
