Sydney - 12,000
Salt Lake - 4,500
Athens - 8,000
Torino - 6,500
Beijing - 20,000
Vancouver - 4,250


Remember, staging ground is important...you need to have space to put the performers somewhere.

I got another email from VANOC today about needing volunteer performers for the ceremonies....looks like they are still short, or at least short of quality able-body talent.

I love how DJ tiesto provided the music for the Athens 2004 parade of the athletes. It gave me goosebumps and totally broke stereotypes.

They should bring in Deadmaus, MSTRKRFT or KidKoala for Vancouver lol

But most people here hate electronic music. haha
