Update to the Dalai Lama's Visit to Vancouver

Upcoming Dalai Lama visit to B.C. a huge hit | CBC

The Dalai Lama is coming to Vancouver on April 18, and apparently UBC's War Memorial Gym, which seats 4,000 people, is too small, so they've moved him to the Pacific Coliseum, which seats 12,000 people. The Pacific Coliseum, as a venue, has such crappy sound... I don't like going to concerts there for that reason. It's where the Canucks played before they built GM Place, and it's fine for monster truck rallies or wrestling, but for a speaking engagement?? I hope it all works out for the organizers.
