Well, we have the big Blue Bomber Game journalism assignment tonight. We get a free ticket to the game, which is nice, but I am sure most of us won't be able to enjoy it. We will spend our time worrying about the story that we have to get before the end of the game. It is basically a streeter in the stadium. But instead of running around the empty exchange district at 9:15am searching desperately for anyone to talk to, we will be sifting through the massive crowds searching for "the one” - the person that will make a story. And then we will spend the rest of the weekend trying to decipher the hundreds of notes that we scratched on our notepad. For example:
While in line-up for the men’s washroom did Richard Jones say: ‘Alouettes games are tough,’ or ‘I always try to get the same trough’? What the heck, I’ll go with the ‘lucky trough’ angle. Possible Headline: Super-piss-ious Fans. Pure journalistic gold! Steve V, eat your heart out.
Good luck to the Bombers and the CreCommers. It is hard to say who is in for a tougher night.
Soupy out.
