I played twice, including once in Vancouver (at the Marpole curling club in Southern Vancouver, accessible by Heather and Kent bike routes...).

I thought it was a lot of fun, and, as others noted, a lot harder than it looks.

We live 10 blocks away from the curling venue for the Olympics and that's the only event I'm really interested in. We have a pair of tickets. I am thinking about getting tickets for the paralympic curling, too. I don't watch sports on TV, but if we're going to have the olympics in town at least I'll have seen... curling.
