my attention tends to lapse, but seibert's choreography for G&G, gordeeva and yamaguchi has stuck in my mind all these years. i love his 'reverie' for G&G.

i look forward to seeing his program for adam, and if the knowledgeable people here on FSU could kindly point me to some of his programs in recent years (in any discipline), i'd love to catch up.

thanks in advance. :) ]]> The Trash Can skfan http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/showthread.php?t=83667 AI Top Three http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/showthread.php?t=83665&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 00:13:24 GMT Josh caterwauling some song I don't know.

It's on the second night of the show and not a peep out of any of you yet. :p Probably because last night was so boring and I didn't even know it was on until I heard the kids watching it on DVR this morning, lol.

Didn't see a single contestant that I liked, although the guy with the earth harp was cool. That gross skewer guy was beyond terrible but I loved how the baby was just completely enthralled with Nick, lol.

Quote:
Tucked into a quiet residential neighborhood, this three-story, 914 square-foot home was created by an award winning Tokyo architect named Sou Fujimoto
Pros: Nothing to catch fire.
Sun loving plants would grow well



Cons: What if there's an earthquake?
Zero privacy, even with curtains
Not very energy efficient (hot in summer, cold in winter)
Someone could throw stones at your house.
Use a lot of Windex to clean your house
Have to keep your house really clean, all the time.
Can't use paint or wallpaper to personalize your space and how do you
hang any artwork/pictures?
Thieves would know when you're not home. ]]> Off The Beaten Track skipaway http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/showthread.php?t=83655 <![CDATA["An Evening on Ice" fundraising benefit show, July 21, 2012 in El Segundo, California]]> http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/showthread.php?t=83654&goto=newpost Tue, 15 May 2012 14:20:18 GMT The second "An Evening On Ice" show, a special one day only fundraising effort for the US Athletic Foundation and LA Ice Theater, will take place on Saturday, July 21, 2012, at the Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo, California.

It's The Cat Calico Cafe and you can go have a meal and at the same time, enjoy some feline company. As one of the people interviewed said, due to the small space of most Japanese homes, many can't have a pet just due to lack of space. So this Cafe helps to fill that need for Cat lovers for a little while.

Bring on the weird acts]]> http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/showthread.php?t=83649&goto=newpost Tue, 15 May 2012 00:08:33 GMT My favorite summer fun show. This year has Howard Stern no less. I love this show for all the weird, bizarre acts. I hope this year the winner will NOT be a singer. Go magicians, dance troupes, dog acts (which won Britian's version), and general bizarreness. :cheer2:

The acts suck so far, but Stern is cracking me up so I'm good.

Father/Daughter act No 1 were cute but bad. Father/Daughter act No 2 were amazing. The girl is a fantastic singer. I hope they go far. Her dad is there to give this kid a break. They are street muscians and she has a real chance to be a star. ]]> Off The Beaten Track rfisher http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/showthread.php?t=83649
