Only eight days left till the host city is chosen for the 2012 Olympics, and the NYC bid committee wants to make sure no one here at home is left out of the fun while the final presentations are being made in Asia next Wednesday night.

New Yorkers will be able to track the city's progress in Singapore thanks to live broadcasts of the national presentations that will be carried on a JumboTron above the Rockefeller Center ice rink beginning at 9 p.m. July 5 and continuing until dawn.

So bring your blanket and get there early. Because you don't want to miss a chance to hang out in midtown overnight to watch 115 probably corrupt IOC bureaucrats choose a host city. Imagine how gripping that point of order will be when you get a chance to see it in on the big screen.
