Russky Dom

At the Olympics some National Olympic Committees see fit to create a speacial area to host parties, invite atlhetes and thier families, media and other VIPs. Usually they are in swanky parts of the city and host some of the best parties of the Games. They are known by country of origin and the term "house", Like Holland House or Italy House. Helen and I went to the USA House in Athens in 2004 for example. This year, the best "House" has been the Russia House, or as we are calling it -- Russky Dom. It is sponsored by Bosco Sport the new apparial manufacturer for the Russian team. If you've been watching the games you'll have seen thier distinctive red cherry pattern on all the athletes. It is the hot look in Torino and thier party was a blast.

Our "Guest of Honor" passes were given to the Coke PR team by the owner of Bosco Sport, Mikail Kusnirovich. Apparently he is one of the 20 wealthiest people in Russia. The party showed it. Hundreds of people were treated to full food buffet, ice skating demonstrations by Russian hockey players, live band and vodka -- lots of vodka. Here are some pics from the hottest party in Torino so far.
