Last Sunday Ianiv & I went to the Red Bull Soapbox Derby held on West 4th Avenue in Kitsilano. Over 32,000 spectators came out to see the race and the antics of the teams, and just a few of them for the celebrity appearances ;) The Red Bull Soapbox is an international race held in various cities, with 50 teams working months on their soapboxes (and costumes!) for that race down 4th Avenue. Judging of the teams was based on speed but also showmanship & creativity.
Supernatural stars Jensen Ackles & Jared Padalecki were out for the race, which is why I was there for b5. I had a chance to interview the boys after they completed their race (Jared won, btw). I’ve posted the Jared & Jensen bits to Gilmore Girls News here (Jared was on Gilmore Girls):
