I went to the boxing today at the ExCel and it was absolutely amazing, stunning venue and stunning location. Me and the gf went on the cable cars too which rose above E16 and over the river to Greenwich. The whole operation of getting inside and the security checks was slick and took no longer than ten minutes, the dockside venue was beautiful and the event itself thrilling.

A slight downside was the expensive drink and food inside the venue but come on, who doesn't expect that?

People in the UK are being so cynical about the Olympics, but if they'd actually made the effort to go, they'd see the excitement that everyone ELSE has is justified. A truly memorable day. Who else has been?
 
Was that an awesome atmosphere during the last match or what?!?!

Amazing, yes. I've been to countless metal gigs, but never had anything as loud and intense as that.

Some guy shouting "break his face" had us both on the floor with laughter.

I haven't been yet but will be going next week and looking forward to it, I'm hoping it all goes smoothly but I'm hoping even more that I'll get to see Team GB win a medal or two.

Which venue? The venues are the stars as well, the dockside at ExCel was truly beautiful.
