He was a bad ass tattooed guy in kilts doing hard core step dancing. You'll really need to see a video not just a pic.
It was THAT good.

Wayne Gretzky looks very perturbed. That was hilarious.

Hahaha, it would be so funny if they had the Green Men at the final torch area taunting Gretzky.

Expecting any opening ceremony to match what happened in China is laughable.

Each one should be judged on it;s own merits. I thought it was very well done.

Thousands of people chasing him and his vehicle down the street. What a night in Vancouver.

The ceremony is being re-broadcast from 1:30 - 6:00 a.m. EST if anyone wants to DVR it.
Someone needs to get the bad ass Celtic guy uploaded for Phil.

Other than metal, Celtic is my favorite genre. Nothing beats the sweet sound of fiddles, bag pipes, harps, etc.

I wanted to tell you about this band earlier - I've seen them 3 times.
They travel most Celtic/Gaelic circles up and down the east coast. Check out Rathkeltair. They're also on facebook.

Thanks Schony, I looked up a few of their songs and they're pretty good. Have to look some more up in the morning.

Here's a clip of the Fiddlers.
Unfortunately, the majority of the crazy guys performance was cut off. He appears at the very end for about 30 seconds
