At a busy Symposium on Web 2.0 and the Future of Sport at Vancouver's Take 5 Cafe, Dave asks Ross about the drug-testing incident in great detail plus they discuss Ross's aspirations for 2010 and beyond, his recreational hobbies and real-estate dealings. Then, Dave relates anecdotes about his own drug testing experience and gives thanks to Ross for inspiring the people.

Thanks to Bread for pics, Mudhoney for tunes, Bryght and Rain City Studios for putting on the Symposium and props to Roots for supporting Ross.
