This is my first attempt to upload a video - have a bunch from Yonge and Dundas - but the crowds were pretty wild, so it's a 'shakey cam'

Thanks for the pics Mike. It was quite an awesome celebration, all the way from Summerhill where I started my trek down to Dundas and back up again.

bah! most of the people there don't even look like they're having any fun. besides the hockey game was much more important than that silly affair in Africa.
