The 2008 drummers at the Olympic opening ceremonies? It was amazing! You'll need to search YouTube if you missed it. It was a little long but TOTALLY worth watching!

I know there is a lot of contriversy (sp) about China. But they can sure be proud of the performance last night. One of my favorite parts was when the China team marched into the arena. Marching along with Yo was that little boy that had survived the earth quake. Did you hear what they said about him? After surviving the quake, he also saved 2 of his classmates. Someone ask him why he did that, he said that was his job because he was a team leader or something like that. I guess everybody in China arn't bad guys.

I watched it and I've never seen anything like it before! Absolutely stunning! The technology was unbelievable. It is the best opening ceremony I've ever seen.

I was a little saddened that some of the Iraqi athletes couldn't come because their "paperwork" was lost in the political shuffle. I can only imagine how hard they had to work to come.

That was the most amazing, beautiful, spectacular opening ceremony I have ever seen. The folks over there must be swelling with pride. Great show!

Everything was SO amazing wasn't it!

They TRULY outdid themselves! But I think This is exactly the sort of thing they REALLY
do shine in! The Big Oooohhhh Ahhhhh! Effect.. & just simply breathtaking events!

Dutchy.. I can't remember girl! I THINK I remember their Outfits being JUST ADORABLE
Weren't theirs the ones Girls that had the Long Short pants.. & short sleeve shirts..
Just a Really sweet look? Red & White Maybe..??
They did look Great if that was the one I'm remembering..

I loved it! Wish I had taped it. That's a bummer about YouTube! Maybe you can see it on the NBC website.
