Working in the unofficial press center at Robson Square, Brennan LaBrie stands out a bit.
It's not just that he's blogging, doing podcasts, and posting to Twitter. It's that he's 10 years old. LaBrie was one of a dozen winners of a Time magazine "kid reporter" contest. But LaBrie was already an experienced reporter before landing the Time gig. He runs a handwritten neighborhood weekly that has roughly 250 subscribers paying 25 cents an issue.
Because his hometown, Port Townsend, Wash., is so close, the folks at Time suggested he come to the Games for a day.
That wasn't enough for LaBrie though, who said one day just wasn't sufficient to do the kind of reporting he wanted to do.
"I'm all about people," LaBrie told me. "I believe everyone has a great story."
So LaBrie sought additional funds from neighbors and family, raising more than $1,400 so he can spend a week covering the games.
Thus far, LaBrie hasn't made it inside to see any events firsthand, but that hasn't seemed to slow him down.
"We just go to the big screens and get real close," said Brennan's mom, Colleen LaBrie.
