From the official site for the Vancouver 2010 Games Cultural Olympiad Artist Registry VANOC has created an artist registry for individual artists and ensembles interested in participating in Cultural Olympiad and/or other Olympic and Paralympic Games programs. Designed as a programming resource, the registry will also serve as a central artist database that VANOC can reference for the development of future events. Submission guidelines are available at www.vancouver2010.com/en/CultureEducation/CulturalOlympiad/ArtistRegistry. Please note there is no deadline for submissions to the Artist Registry.

At a busy Symposium on Web 2.0 and the Future of Sport at Vancouver's Take 5 Cafe, Dave asks Ross about the drug-testing incident in great detail plus they discuss Ross's aspirations for 2010 and beyond, his recreational hobbies and real-estate dealings. Then, Dave relates anecdotes about his own drug testing experience and gives thanks to Ross for inspiring the people.

Thanks to Bread for pics, Mudhoney for tunes, Bryght and Rain City Studios for putting on the Symposium and props to Roots for supporting Ross.
