Will do. The Opening Ceremonies are tonight. I'll be sitting in front of my TV. Temperature should be in the teens by the end of it. They are telling people to wear two layers of long johns if they are going to be there. The seats in the stadium are made of aluminum. They are also told to get on the shuttle busses three hours early because they have to go through the "bag & mag", which is a bag search and a magnetometer. So, those three hours, plus the three hours in the stadium, plus however long to get out when it's all over.
I talked to some people that saw the dress rehersal on Wednesday night. They said the program is amazing and should not be missed.
For those trivia buffs, the Opening Cermonies will be at Rice Eccles Stadium at the University of Utah. It was enlarged to seat 55,000 people for the Olympics.
