Just for ishts and giggles, I looked at the NYC Olympic game site. Do you guys know it takes only 26 minutes to get from Queens(Olympic Village) to East Rutherford NJ? I would like to know who timed that and at what time, 3am with a police escort?

That's a good point about getting from Queens to East Rutherford (although it would probably be about 15 minutes at 3am.)

Also keep in mind that if both proposed stadiums are built (for the Jets and Nets,) we won't need to include Jersey in the Olympics.

I'm hoping for London, and have a Back the Bid 2012 phone card. :) The adverts I've seen so far have been really good, but most people don't seem overly optimistic about it. Who knows?

During Vancouver's bid for the 2010 games we had window decals for our cars that said "backing the bid." It was really effective seeing all these cars driving around the Lower Mainland and the stretch between Vancouver and Whistler with backing the bid decals.

I still have mine somewhere - I was determined to be one of those crazy people to leave it on their car until the Olympics started, but I took it off to use it as an example for something and haven't seen it since.
