So how many FSUers are planning to go to this show and report back here? :)

[Mevrouw]

There is one car full of four FSUers going.

There is one car full of four FSUers...

That sounds like the beginning of a bad joke. ;)

[Mevrouw]

We'll know on Friday.

I'm waiting for the other 3/4 of that car to pick me up. I'll let you know how the show is :)

There once was a car of FSUers
That traveled to the gala of Maripos-er
But when they got there
The skaters yelled "No Fair!"
Thus no reports from the FSU snarkers.:wuzrobbed

:P

You know you're obsessed when...you keep refreshing the page hoping for a report, even though you know that it's to early for one. :)

somehow I expected Starkers to rhyme with snarkers. But I bet they all kept their clothes on (except the ice dancers)

I stopped myself from checking before this..it's now 11:10 EDT ...8:10 here on the west coast...I hope someone will speak up tonight.:D

[Andora]

I'm back! Anything in particular you want to hear about?

Highlights were definitely Chris Maybee (so sharp! Stretched out! Where was he years ago?), Paul & Islam and Jeff Buttle. Verner was really enjoyable, and I'm not normally a fan. As was the young man from Germany who is possibly more bendy than Shawn Sawyer.

Lowlight was Steven Cousins. :P
