Chicago COI?

Hi, Did anyone go to Chicago COI and could someone please give us a review of it? Thanks.

There is a review on the skateblade site. Can't remember the exact URL right now-it's on page 2 of this forum.

This was from a friend of mine who went:

_ I don't even know where to begin._ The show was awesome!_ It was so much fun, and we had really great seats._ They had a lot of skaters, and most of them skated clean.__ Michelle skated great, it was a really fun program for her._ Irina struggled a little with her jumps, but other than that she was exciting to watch._ Sasha was GORGEOUS!!!!_ She skated an excellent program._ She kind of fell out of her layback, like when she fell out of her flying camel that one time._ It was just a little stumble though._ Evgeni was great._ He landed a quad toe, triple toe, that looked so easy._ Timmy skated to Creed._ He landed his quad, and looked like he was just having a great time._ Elvis was exciting when he did all of his neat little tricks on the ice._ The dance team, Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz did their long program._ Very nice._ Victor Petrenko skated good, but I thought his program was a little boring._ I've seen him skated more excitingly._ Naomi Lang and Peter Tchernyshev did a slower piece of music._ Michael did his new move called the tornadoe....IT WAS SO COOL!_ He always skates fun during exhibitions!_ Tatiana Totmianina and Maxim Marinin did the Cotton Club program._ Tatiana had a lot of trouble landing some of her jumps._ It looked like she was slipping off of her blade, or maybe her ankle hurt and she wasn't trying to put her weight on it._ Rudy took his shirt off (of course) and the crowd went wild (as usual.)_ Philippe Candeloro was AWESOME!!!!_ He skated to God Bless the USA, and the whole place was going wild._ It started off that he was like checking in, and then a voice said "Mr. Candeloro, you're now a U.S. citizen" and then it went into the song._ Very good!!!!!_ Nicole Bobek........she skated ok, I'm just not a fan of her's, so it was hard to watch her........she was the first one to skate too._ Ann Patrice was there._ She is getting a lot better._ She was so cute, and had a lot of fun with her program._ Dan Hollander did an act, and pretended that he was a beginer._ then he went and did a triple lutz. Irina Grigorian did a program with hoola hoops._ It was the coolest thing._ She kept adding more of them._ It was good._ Two guys did an acrobat performance._ Their names are Vladimir Besedin and Oleksiy Polishchuk._ It was good, and kept you on the edge of your seat._ And thats about it._ There were a few people who didn't come, like Fumie._ I think my favorites were Sasha, Timmy and Philippe._ It was a good show!
