Hi All,
Well, 2010 is in full effect and so far, so very good. Things have been quite busy for me so I have been a little slow on the blogging - my apologies.
The 2010 Olympics have come and gone, and rest assured, I will be penning my thoughts on that spectable in the near term. Right now, though, I would like to update the status of the drinks owed from the 2009 Advent Calendar Quiz. For the uninitated, I run an online advent calendar quiz every December and award daily prizes (drinks) for every correct entry (see historic posts for all the questions used this year). It then becomes my goal to pay back these drinks over the course of the following 11 months, ideally visiting the winners in their home city. Last year, drinks were redeemed in Toronto, Vancouver, Las Vegas, and San Franciso. This year, who knows! If you wanna sign up this year and haven't played before, just let me know.
The Olympics presented the perfect opportunity to redeem drinks for those in town, as well as for any people visiting. In this case, Rob, Chris H., Kim, and Andy each redeemed a drink. For Andy and Rob, sadly, the drink was at an Olympic hockey game and the shortest drink line was one offering up Molson Canadian. Sorry boys, it still counts! Chris and Kim got the better end of the deal as Yaletown Earl's accomodated a more discerning beer palate. I am off to a poor start with the photo, however, as I only snapped one photo from of the two opportunities. Nonetheless, see below for the photo marking the occassion. With these drinks redeemed, Andy and Kim have been fully paid out, Chris H. is due another, and Rob, this year's winner, is still owed a very discouraging 9 drinks.
With a trip booked out east this summer, I hope to knock off some of the eastern folk, and with Cali/Vegas never far the US folks should be good, but those in Germany will require some special arrangements to be sure.
At any time throughout the year, see the image to the right for a snapshot of how many drinks each player is owed. It will be updated each and every time a d
rink is awarded.
