Dastardly Jerks said:I am utterly amazed by tonight. I just got home and it was, quite frankly, the most harrowing and beautiful thing I've ever seen. A mosh pit of 1000 people literally jumped in sync near a ute (pickup truck) that had a plastic bear in a cage (and bruins helmet and black and gold tutu). I spoke to a BC born and bred gentleman who's been waiting for the Stanley Cup since he was 5 years old. I hi-5d so many people, so much more than before, that my arms still can't feel themselves yet are in control enough to do normal motor function. I energised every pitch of area I was in with cheers, hoots, yee-haws and everything my body and vocals could muster just so I energise everybody into some form of interaction with me.
Muslim, European, Parents, Jock, Douchebag, Homeless, Small children... It didn't matter who you were, if you had a grin on your face and were wearing blue and green... You had a mutual love with all around you. A unity unlike anything I've ever seen before.
John Lennon once spoke of a world where it didn't matter who you were or what your social status was, you were accepted, loved and embraced - if only for a second or five. And tonight I saw the true embodiment of what he was implying.
Vancouver - I love you, and this is my #1 reason why and why I believe you deserve what your team has strived for.
*tear*
Amen brother
