re: #555 mich-again

I was rooting for Chicago to get the bid. I think it would have been a spectacular setting. But with London in 2012, Chicago wasn’t going to get 2016. Non-starter. Congrats to Brazil. uhh but instead of having them in August, can we move the date to February so the Olympics will coincide with Mardi Gras? I want to see the dude on the stilts try to pole vault. After all, they are the summer Olympics and its not Summer in Brazil in August. Summer is in February. The IOC is hemispherist.

How do you figure? Chicago and Rio are both in the Western Hemisphere.
