If anyone want to see the new street light features on Cambie check out the Torch Relay site in about 15 mins. The torch right now is just past Main and 12th where it will head to City Hall then head south through Cambie Village to King Ed.

Wow there are A LOT of people there right now. Look at the cam, there have to be thousands of people, 10 rows deep on each side.

Does the stream have lots of lag for anyone else?

WarrenC12 · #**167** Posted **Feb 11, 2010, 10:46 PM**

Yes it cuts out a lot. Probably due to the number of people viewing it. Awesome idea though...

SpongeG · #**168** Posted **Feb 11, 2010, 10:51 PM**

its just people screaming right now looks some foreign media is covering it too

The flame visits SFU:

Waiting for the torch, not the bus!

Cheering for the bus

The torch is here!

Hardly room for the torch to get through the crowds...

and a blurry final shot as it leaves as quick as it came

The torch relay "live" feed/map is delayed by 20-30 mins...it passed where I planned to see it by the time I was almost there (when I was supposed to be 30 mins early)

A bunch of other people gathered where it was supposed to go at said time, and were wondering why it was "late." Way to piss of a bunch of people Vanoc/CTV...

David · #**171** Posted **Feb 11, 2010, 11:05 PM**

hey, give em a break, the torch has covered a lot of ground today! i'm surprised they can maintain a schedule at all. fyi, it was 20 minutes late at SFU, so the fact that they are early now is pretty impressive

Those lights on Cambie are crazy...in a good way. It's like Back to the Future meets 50s sci-fi movie.

My Firefox crashed and it's impossible to get back to the stream so if you want to watch don't close your browser. There's way too many people on it.

jann arden is WALKING with it now at childrens hospital

Overground · #**174** Posted **Feb 11, 2010, 11:36 PM**

Ahh...the 10th and 14th holes at QE golf course....good times, lol.

SpongeG · #**175** Posted **Feb 11, 2010, 11:37 PM**

i can't figure out where its at - looks like they were just on heather? now no idea near queen e park?

Overground · #**176** Posted **Feb 11, 2010, 11:42 PM**

They went from Heather then east along 37th by QE and now at Main.

Linden is apparently coming up soon. I thought he'd be on one of the downtown portions............yep Linden in 5 mins.

SpongeG · #**177** Posted **Feb 11, 2010, 11:58 PM**

Overground · #**178** Posted **Feb 12, 2010, 12:00 AM**

SpongeG · #**179** Posted **Feb 12, 2010, 12:03 AM**

touraccuracy · #**180** Posted **Feb 12, 2010, 12:08 AM**

i'm watching it on the ctv site... they have a map on the right which is nice, but is there any way to tell who is carrying it? lists of carriers or something, especially because there are some big name people today and tomorrow...
