REASON #33
He's "been hands-on throughout the process [of the Stanley Cup celebration in Cole Harbor] and doesn’t want anyone to be left out"

According to Metro News - Halifax, Paul Mason (head of the organizing committee for the Cole Harbor celebration) has been in contact with Sidney and his family on a daily basis in planning the event with all of them.

“He’s excited,” Mason said. “He wants to be involved in it and he’s not just going to show up and leave. The hard part, the challenge, is that he wants everyone to get a picture with the Cup, but realistically, it’s not physically possible.”

What a GREAT human being!! Seriously, to want to share the day like that with EVERYONE takes a pretty selfless individual and I'm sure he is excited (I'm excited and I'm not even going to be there!)!!!

And, come on, what an AWESOME birthday bash - it couldn't have been planned out better if it was scripted by Hollywood!!! But who better deserving than Sid??!!!!

Good for him for wanting to include so many people, and you are so right - couldn't have scripted it better ourselves except we might want to add ourselves into the scene at the parade or somewhere else in Cole Harbour...

I'm taking my 2 year old son there tomorrow... he's so excited. Everytime I turn on the TV and a guy's playing hockey he goes: "Mommy, mommy... siddie cwosby!!

If I can get some good pics I'll send em your way =)

@Zigh - have a great time!

I hope that tomorrow is everything he ever dreamed it would be.

Agreed, have a great time Zigh! I'm uber-jealous! If you get good pics, please share!

@Val - AGREED, it would be better if we scripted ourselves into the story!! ; )

@Zigh -- HAVE A GOOD TIME and I WOULD TOTALLY APPRECIATE PICS (I'm sure all the other ladies would too!)!!!

@Jay - me too!! Somehow I think it will be -- it sounds like a whole day event, so I'm sure it will be LOADS OF FUN!!!!

Does anyone else think that Sidney might be genetically engineered? He's just too perfect to be just human. If he is "just" human then we all need to invest in a cloning project. The world could use a lot more Sidneys and a lot fewer jerks.
May he have an ultra happy birthday tomorrow. I wish him nothing but the best in everything.

I agree with Cat... he must be genetically engineered! It's not possible for one man to have all those amazing qualities.

So... I'm sitting at work... off in a half our and then heading to the parade...

I'm praying I get some good shots... why oh why couldn't I be one of those lucky 87 people who get their picture with Sid and the cup? =(

(I'll make sure I scream extra loud for you guys! lol)
