I was only 10 when the games were here, but I wanted to go soooo bad!!!!!! My family are huge fans of the games, so I still have no clue why we couldn't have gone! It was probably too expensive!! My uncle went though and brought me back some cute pins and stuff!

Re the logo, see this thread:

I think the tickets are really expensive. Looking at the Vancouver website, they promo that many of the tickets are $25, but they're not necessarily to the popular events. The ceremony tickets are like $300 for example. Figure skating is pricey too.
I think the orca/bear thing is so cute. I guess it's a traditional native spirit symbol, from what I've read. I love the sasquatch one too. soooooo cute!
The tickets draw for Canadians begins October 3 and runs through early November. I don't know much about how the US system works - I haven't read the email they sent me after I signed up for the list. *fingers crossed* that I'll get them.
For my family, I think the turnoff about Atlanta was really more driving into the city, dealing with people, etc. etc. We're country folk (I grew up in NC too Dreamful Spirit). LOL. I remember I even got the ticket request form (at that time it was a paper thing, oh, the days before pervasive internet) and they wouldn't let me fill it out. I wanted to SO BAD. Making things worse, my dad's first cousin lives in Athens and kept sending me memorabilia, which was really sweet of her but just made me want to go even more.
Salt Lake City I wanted to go to but I was kind of out of it that year - I was in college and pledging Pi Phi and very busy, and didn't really have time to watch it. Even though I had a TV in my room, I missed a lot of the competition. Although... maybe part of it was over W&L's February break and I caught that? I do think I tuned in for Michelle Kwan's performances (love her).
