A Surreal Moment in Hockey Fandom

It’s sort of surreal, spotting giant posters of yourself on the wall of a Vancouver Skytrain station…

Thanks to the Vancouver Canucks for including me (and the rest of The Crazy Canucks) in their new marketing campaign.  Freakin’ cool. smile

I want your autograph.  LOL!

Very cool, Alanah.  Congrats!

Very cool indeed, neat to see bloggers getting teams in the League to lower their guard and suspend their worries a bit more.

SYF -- “I want your autograph” Alas, if only it was worth putting on eBay… smile

SENShobo -- My experiences with the Canucks have been wide-ranging over the last 5 years, but they’ve certainly been great to deal with in recent times.  I suppose I’ve proven to be rather harmless—just another nutty fan who just happens to have a blog and babble on a podcast. smile
