Have a great time at AN!!! Don't forget we are all cheering for everything you do. Let us know about the ice, the costumes, the practices, the competitions, the new friends you make and the old friends you see. Oh, and have safe travels (but not on your spins . )

Thin-Ice

P.S. Thanks to the organizers for all the hard work that goes into an event this big.

I'd like to send my good luck wishes too along with the following advice"
Please watch the vodka!!

Why, does it do tricks?

Given what I've been reading, it will do a very good magic trick call "making itself disappear."

Guys! Have a WONDERFUL time!!! Have a great skate and if you have AN gossip, please PM them my way!!! LOL!!! (And if hubby finds a job soon, I will see you guys next year at Lake Placid!!!)

And yes, I am very impressed with the organizers of this AN too. Special kudos to Webmistress manleywoman too!!!

Thank you thank you!!!

Looking forward to it. Now to finish some things at work (it's Easter and I'm here) finish the costume, copy the cd, clean the house, get a bottle of wine for the dag nanny, give the dogs a bath, pack.....

Also, If anyone's interested, I'll have glass pendants and a couple extra bowls to sell. I'm donating one to the silent auction. It's called "tracings" and it's fused glass with pure silver inclusions.
Thanks to all the volunteers!

I am expecting Jay to bring back some cookie dough for me (for those of you in the Wyandotte FSC....) I'd love to see how good those cookies are.

Hi, Thin-Ice. Ditto everything you said so very nicely.

I wish all who are competing great skates, and great fun!

(Jazz and Terri, you reading this? Can't wait til next year when you guys go, assuming all goes smoothly up until then! I'll have to live vicariously through you guys....though I'll never say "never", LOL!)

Good luck to everyone! Hope you have a good skate and, more importantly, loads of fun!!

Best of luck everyone! Wish I could be there with you, but I'll see you next year!

P.S. Don't forget to post stories and reports!!!!

Thanks everyone!

I'll have my laptop with me, so I'll try to post when I can.

Can't wait to see everyone who's going!

Have a great time! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Safe travels everyone (but not during your spins)!

Here's hoping all the extra/last-minute practices and runthroughs have been worth it ... <<<crosses fingers>>>

Thanks for the good luck wishes! Wishing everyone good luck as well!

Not sure I will actually skate. I'm injured (right hamstring) and haven't skated since last Monday. I'm going to attempt to just do stroking on Wednesday night, then if I'm OK, on my 20-minute warmup on Friday I will rechoreograph my Interp to replace the right-leg takeoff jumps with left-leg takeoff jumps! Good thing I signed up for the dramatic category since I am going through all this drama! LOL

Good luck to all who are going! See ya there!

Chiming in to wish everyone good luck too! I'll be there as a spectator on Friday, assuming I can figure out how to get to the rink on the subway/bus and/or taxi.

Good luck to all!

May your edges be clean, your turns crisp, and any spins/jumps perfect!

Oh, come on, Daisies! Just do those right leg takeoff jumps in the program. We'll carry you off the ice and you'll have a full year to recover before next AN!

Best of luck to everyone but in particular to my girl Stormy!! And all of my friends I met at Easterns. Kick butt and take names, each and every one of you!

Clean ice and sharp blades to all of you.

Have a wonderful time, and I want to hear all the gossip!

I am always pretty focused around competitions but please come and say HI!
