WYD begins
All the prep for WYD will get their trial-by-fire, so to speak, 
this week. It’s incredible how much preparation has gone into all the different events. As I went to pick up my media pass and kit this past Thursday and Saturday, I noticed the huge audio and video towers erected down Princess Blvd. (which runs along the National Trade Center). They are so far away from the main stage – but they’ve been erected in anticipation of the massive crush of people.
I’ve been trying to figure out my transportation solution for this week. I might just take the GO down to exhibition place – but I really don’t know what kind of crush that will be. And it’s bit of a walk (through the crowds) to Hall D – where the Media Center is. I haven’t even checked out Downsview lands yet – so I’d better do that today.
I’ll have photos from WYD (from a borrowed digital camera) up pretty soon here. I’m also helping coordinate the TakingITGlobal World Youth Day University Café gallery with a slew of volunteers. Things are going to be crazy, but I’m really looking forward to it all.
So keep tuned in for regular updates.
