China’s Awe-inspiring Coming Out Party

Forty-two
China’s Awe-inspiring Coming Out Party

Congratulations to China, who — despite predictions of epic failure, and regardless of what may happen in the coming days (from heavy smog to heavy-handed tactics with the press) — just schooled the entire world in how to stage an epic spectacle with the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. All kinds of awesome.

More pics at NYTimes.

Update: More stunning photos at the Boston Globe.

    • Drinking OMG Abbey Ale. (Bet New England hop heads know exactly what that is.) 21 hours ago
    • Tasting Green Mountain Coffee's FT/O Sumatran Reserve, and I'd guess it's spanking new crop 'cause it's singing a lovely tune. #coffee #vt 24 hours ago
    • The Vermonter: a sandwich that by tradition layers turkey, apple slices, Vermont cheddar cheese, and awesome. And that's before bacon. #VT 2010/03/10
    • Tasting more dry-process Idido Misty Valley Yirgacheffe. Amazing florals, rich berry flavors. I *totally* nailed this roast. :) #coffee 2010/03/10
