"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"

It was by far the coolest sporting event I have ever attended. Even better than curling at the 2006 Olympics in Torino. I have a new respect for Japanese culture.

Here's their website, here's NPR's radio broadcast with really interesting facts, and here are the pictures. We were far away, and they're quite dark (I hate flash). I couldn't resist putting all of these up haha, especially the first two (entitled: Anne and Kathleen Get Pumped").
