Just wondering if anyone has any reviews from the show?

There are is one review and some pictures on Jamie and David's site and will probably be more as more people get back.

I went. I'm not very good at reviewing shows, but I can tell you that it was a great show. I loved both of Jeff's programs, Takeshi was really on, landing a quad in his second program, which I think is his new long. Jennifer skated pretty well, although not perfectly. I was quite impressed with Senft/Gislason. Jaime and David of course got standing ovations before and after each of their programs, which were "Loving, Touching, Squeezing" and a new one whose title I have forgotten. The only real disappointment, though, was that Chris Mabee did not get a solo.
By the way, the pictures on that link from the Sale-Pelletier board were mine.

This has to be short because the computer is in the guestroom and we have people over... but the show was awesome... hopefully I'll have more time on the computer tomorrow.

We watched the practices before the show, went to the show and the reception. Jamie and Dave's new program is to Norah Jones -Come away with me (which was my fave song on the album and is even more so now). It was breath taking, my friends and I think it's the best one yet, we wondered if we'd hallucinated it was that good (so amazing to see from the table on the ice);) LTS was their 2nd program and it was rockin, they had a fall on the throw and some wobbly parts but it was still an awesome skate!

Steve was rocktastick in both his programs. Terra Findley was great as well, she skated two programs, one singles and one pairs, she did miss some jumps in her program but she'd be nailing most of them in practice. Lesley had a lot of fun on the ice. Leif and LaurenII are looking good however I had very nasty Michel Brunet and Chantal Lefevre costume flashbacks (I'm not a fan of plad pants, and hot pink dresses). Terra and Tyler skated their program really well, they have wonderful lifts and are so fun to watch. Takeshi majorly rocked out his program, he basically flew through both of them and nailed an impressive list of jumps.

The show was really awesome!!!!! I'm sorry to the skaters I didn't write about but i have to get going and my list is on the other room.

Thank-You so much for the link and the reviews. Certainly sounds like it was a great show. I am definitly going to consider attending this Annual Event next year.
