Absolutely. I'd be more than happy to lend Ross my shirt and vest from my Robin Hood number this year.

Oddly enough, as I was getting ready for work this morning they were showing "Men in Tights" on a local cable channel. My favorite part is when Brunhilda tries to jump off the balcony onto her horse and the horse dodges her. LOL!! "Farvegnunen!! If I vur yoo I vood nevah do zat again. Any kvestchuns? Good."

I left around 4:45pm.

I had my red, white, and blue club jacket on...

I think I saw you. I was in lime green and black - red hair. It's interesting seeing how many "listers" I saw or met without knowing.

Freesk8ter - Did you skate in group B? If so I have our "patriotic" picture.

Yup, definitely saw you...I always notice someone with red hair as my wife has red hair as well. She was there taking pictures.

My husband and I came up on Friday evening for some extra vacation time. There was the annual CAN/AM hockey tournament going on at the rink, which did not end until noon on Sunday. They used all three rinks for the tournament. That is the reason there was no freestyle ice available. After the tournament ended, they painted the logo on the ice, taking the rest of the day Sunday and all day Monday to remove all the hockey lines, paint the logo, and relay the ice. All practice ice on Sunday was done on the 1932 rink. My practice on Monday was also on the 1932 rink, although by that time, they may have used the USA rink too, but not the 1980. I believe that the 1980 rink was not made available until Tuesday.

Actually, the 1980 rink wasn't available for practice until Wednesday, which was the day the actual competition started. They opened it up for three 20-minute sessions from 6:30am to 7:30am and that was it. The ice really wasn't ready, either, since it was still so delicate, and not packed hard enough (it felt weird under my blades). In the last 20 minutes, an overly powered lutz left a divot that was about 4" in diameter and went all the way down to the base. I was so afraid someone was going to catch a blade in it and end up getting carried out on a stretcher!
I was glad to see that they went over it with fine-toothed comb and patched it up before the first competition, but I actually just wished they'd been able to leave the ice as it was instead of re-painting it, even if it had the Can-Am logo on it. It may have been out of the question due to the intellectual property restrictions on the use of the Can-Am logo (that's the only GOOD reason I can think of).

nothing was scarier to me than taking the '80 rink for the first time.

Hi Mrs. Redboots - Centuary was hurting a bit the next am.
I do remember the lifts in the street and was actually telling the folks about it on our way to dinner. We had piggy back races on Main street and lifts before dinner.

I get the impression that some of you would get a real kick out of seeing me in a pair of green tights..

I was only kidding about the regulations on the costume , most of you who know me , know dam well Id sacrifice nothing for a good performance even bending the regs...if I look good in green tights..I understand there are no costume rules in interp but I may have to draw the line with the green tights..

Would be funny though.. " Men in tights" "Where Butch" I love that bit...Thats how Id finish.

starskate6.0 · #**239** 04-17-2008, 09:36 PM

I was good (I think) until about 30 minutes before last call! I think the only thing I was talking about was my back spin from my program(what a loser!)

You probably saw this young lady running back and forth during the week, and she has a blog where she wrote about AN:
