The Winter Olympic Games have been a party. And PubClub.com is at the Games and presents these photos from what we've seen, whom we've seen and, well, just the whole thrilling scene.
It's a party for Canada and the world; these photos tell all.
The XXI Olympic Games have been a tribute to nations coming together, of great Olympic moments, of Canada not "owing the podium" but making a run to own the Gold.

The hosts have been joyful for all visitors, their athletes have experienced the thrill of victory (figure skating, speed skating and the beer pitcher-drinking skeleton among the triumphs) and the agony of defeat (the alpine skiing teams the most prominent).

The spirit of the Games was evident everywhere, from the small village of Whistler to the bustling streets of Vancouver. In the venues, the live music spots and the party places like the temporary Irish House. Oh Canada indeed put on its best face for the Olympics.
Here's where PubClub.com was for the Games and what we recorded through the lens of reporter Kevin Wilkerson (American) and photographer Simon Leung (Canadian and Vancouver resident).
