 Meet and Greet

   Mother's Day

  

SQUEEE!!!!!!!! I'M GOING! MY MOM, DAD AND ME!!!!!!!!!!!

  


Not sure about the M&G's as yet since they are after the show and that might put us getting home real late. So we'll have to see about that.

That's wonderful Teddy! How nice that all of you are going together.    I think it's awesome that your dad is going with you as well.

We always seem to get dopey Disney on Ice. I want a real show with champons. The best one I went to was with Toller Cranston. Went to the Ice Capades after then but I can't remember who the head liners were. This was early 1980's lol.

I'm so excited canear! I've never been to a Stars On Ice show so this will be my first time! My parents took me to my first ice show when I was a just a kid. It was a Grease on ice show at the venue in Long Beach. I remember it like it was yesterday. I'm so stoked for this. My dad said yes a little reluctantly but I'm just so glad he did. We rarely do things together like this so when we do I cherish them!

Awesome Teddy.  Hope you all have fun.  i have been to exactly one ice show and it was in 2002 right after the winter Olympics.  It was Champions On Ice held in Colorado.  It was awesome cause all the medalist from the figure skating events were on the tour then.  Michelle Kwan was worth the price of the tickets just on her own but the others were amazing to.  I was so happy I got to see that show.

My sister and a friend of hers came with me!

Thanks Angel!

I hope I get to see Michelle some day if she ever decides to join the tours. How great for you!

I went to a Stars on Ice show twice.  Saw Scotty and Brian B. and tons of others from the Olympics. They put on a long show too!

I used to go to the Canadian version..........this year it's Kurt, Scott and Tessa, Jeff Buttle, Elvis Stojko, Joannie Rochette and some others. Not in the budget this year with the wedding this summer but perhaps next year.

I wish they would just combine the American and Canadian show plus add some Europeans. There is this one in China/Taipei that Kurt and Patrick Chan, PLushenk, Yagudin, Johnny Weir goes to. Broadcast on Asian TV. it's called Artistry On Ice. This is the finale from 2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9uY3nxGjz4

In that Artistry on Ice are Johnny Weir, Jeffery Buttle. Kurt Browning, Yvengy Plushenko and Yuna Kim. The music is done by violinist Edvin Marton. He has worked a lot with Plushenko and Yagudin on their Olympic skate music. The Godfather for Plushneko and Gladiator for Yaguidin are two famous pieces. I love the idea of working with a composer for your skate music. Really brings something extra special to competition.

The whole cast hasn't been announced other than our Olympic team but I sure hope we get some other great skaters. I know Kurt is no longer doing Stars On Ice as his last show was a few years back. It would be great if he did though as he is one of my favorites.

I did read up on the M&G a bit last night and they said they usually last approximately 30 minutes but it can vary depending on how many people there are who got M&G's. I'm considering emailing them to ask a few more questions about it that they didn't already have answers to posted up.

FC, I'm sure it's been quite a while for you but do you remember how long the shows were? I know you said they're long.

Yes, it was very long ago!!  But one of them was almost 4 hours!!  Not sure they do that anymore as concerts used to be longer too.

The only Ice Show I have been to was Disney on Ice. I had ice side tickets and took Briah once a year, then Briah and Kirah and then Kirah and a niece. Such fun and incredible productions. They were over 2 hours. With a 45 minute intermission.

Of all of them Beauty and the Beast was the most awesome. They had a famous Olympic pairs couple as wolves. Forget who. The entire cast came out as dishes for Be My Guest. They had a giant rose that kept dropping petals. The Beast and Bell were incredible.

I wish they would bring make more figure skating shows to TV. Toller Cranston did these incredible productions for CBC back in the 1970's and 1980's that I still watch on youtube. So creative but big productions costs I'm sure.

I found this on a Russian site. It is the flower ceremony for the Team Event. Much longer then you see on North American TV. http://video.yandex.ru/users/ver2106/view/6/

Canear I found a picture for you

Elvis looks great!!

Patrick is just odd looking.  His eyes look wild or something.

Elvis wants to car into car racing. Already doing smaller cart cars. He always has been a thrill seeker.
He was working for Yahoo Sports at Sochi.

Cool!  I hope he is careful though.

That's why he is taking his tome in the smaller engine cars to learn the right way.

Oh Kate, that is an awesome picture!  Elvis has matured into a very good looking man.      I love Patrick's Asian looks.    

Be careful Elvis!

It's just one of Patrick's eyes is a bit crossed. You get used to it.

Elvis used to not be the most handsome with the mullet but he looks much better now. He and his wife had a great time in Sochi.
