Tailgating Ideas

After overdosing on Olympics for the past two weeks I think I need another four years just to recoup. China hands the torch to Great Britain for the next Olympiad with a wintery stop over in Vancouver two years from. I wonder if there will be any tailgating for the Vancouver Winter Olympics? Sounds like a great excuse for a TailgatingIdeas.com road trip. While I keep dreaming of tailgating outside the women’s ski jumping facility here are some news and blogs stories that you may have missed this past week.
