PARTY PALMtm Extreme Party Mascot  VANOC`s official 2010 mascoteers, Miga the Sea Bear, Quatchi the Sasquatch, Sumi the Thunderbird, and sidekick MukMuk are all made in China and all target tots. Our Mascot on the other hand ... is HOMEGROWN and MADE IN CANADA ... an organic ADULTS ONLY critter called PARTY PALM !! At the sound of the BONG it's 4:20 in Vansterdam! BC is the only place in Canada HOT enough to grow palm trees, so we thought it'd be both sporting and patriotic to pay homage to the Palm Frond, especially considering Canada's LOVE of the LEAF! What a crazy Canuk combination eh! Patriotism and Partying! Eh! Oh! Canada Go! Eh! Oh! Canada Go! When you spot PARTY PALM on the street, slopes, or clubs give a shout out because The PALM has been known to carry gifts to make your party a lot more fun than a stuffed monkey. OK, let`s cut the innuendo ... If you think of Vancouver as Vansterdam, and you`ve never been to the real thing in the Netherlands, our dirty little secret will blow you away. Yes, it`s true, Vancouverites, and British Columbians in general, smoke a lot of weed. It was only a few years ago (2007) you could buy pot over the counter. We`re not quite that liberal today, but you can still find it in select shops if you know someone. Like most cities you can also find it on the street in certain neighborhoods, but in a million years and for the same amount of reasons it`s not a safe way to score, the least of which is it`s illegal and because you`ll probably get robbed or buy shake. If you`re so inclined, your best bet is to make friends with locals and hang where they hang. Vancouverites are pretty friendly as long as you don`t piss us off by being in-your-face about anything. Laid back is our mantra. We don`t fake it. We are it. Once you do score your little stash you can take it to clubs where it is smoked openly from hookahs, evaporators, and such. Sit back, order a drink, puff the infamous BC Bud ... and chill. Welcome to Vancouver`s 2010 Olympics Spirit. Some say the Olympic torch looks like a spliff. Coincidence ... you decide. PARTY PALM gets the good times rolling ... BTW, we're not sure if the 2010 Olympics will be environmentally friendly ... but it will be green !
