Contact 2015 VIP two-day pass. Merry early Christmas to me. Hours of sensory overload and adrenaline overdose in the drafty shoebox that is BC Place. Marginal accommodations and confusing check-in, despite the pretentious "VIP" label (please, at least offer some sugar-free caffeine - Monster for me). Followed by a month of walking pneumonia ("the cough that doesn't go away"), because sweating plus exposure to cold air for long periods yield a very consistent result. This is my idea of an EPIC time, no sarcasm intended. MMMomonomnom...brain candy for the ADD-afflicted. It's still months away and I'm so stoked, I can't hold still. There - a giddy post, to balance out the darkness and damp for everybody, however briefly.
