Barry Artiste Op.Ed

WTF?  The Man of all Men was in town, nice for friggin giving Vangroovians the heads up. What a friggin Rip, I would have given my left testicle to see the man, if my girlfriend wasn't holding it right now.

VANCOUVER — A lowly corner of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside was touched by greatness Thursday night when boxing giant Muhammad Ali made an appearance at a special screening of the documentary film Facing Ali.

A private reception before the screening, held at the exclusive Cinema 319 on Main Street, was attended by some 70 guests who paid $3,000 each for the opportunity to meet Ali and have a photograph taken with him.

He amazed me. I couldn't get the self-promotion thing until I was older.

Hey, I once passed him on the street.

Yeah, but c'mon I wouldn't pay $3,000 to see Muhammad Ali.  He's not even fighting in a ring.

Ha-ha! I got to see him tonight without paying the $3k!
