Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir #48: Long Time Running

[elisa_p]

Is anyone going to the Peterborough show? I’m downtown Toronto and it’s the only date that worked for me but I really wanted to go to London! I don’t think I’ve ever been there before dispite living in the GTA my whole life. This should be a adventure. LOL

ETA: i’m ridiculously excited for this. My BF thinks I’ve lost my mind since January!

@elisa_p - I'm downtown Toronto too... isn't Oshawa closer? I Google mapped both the venues (Oshawa and Peterborough) from my address and it told me Oshawa was a good 20-30 minutes closer.

 

[Emdee]

Oshawa is definitely closer.

 

[elisa_p]

Dammit...I knew there was another location other than Peterborough that’s probably closer to Toronto. I didn’t think this one through but it’s a Friday so I’ll just take a half day off and deal with it. I’m really excited to see what they come up with!

ETA: i’ve never seen them live still kicking myself for that one) so this is a really big deal for me. LOL

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir: Make amateur sports a safe space for every athlete

Did anyone manage to save the video of "I Dreamed a Dream" or know of somewhere other than YouTube where a working version is uploaded? I missed the link when it was first posted and now it has been taken off YouTube due to copyright.

 

[Golden1]

Sorry, I only watched the video on youtube.

I have a question about this "Gold Medal Plates" trip. I looked at the instagram videos and stories and it looks like a bunch of middle aged people and Tessa and Scott. So, how does this work? Did these people pay money, so that they could go on holiday with VM and this money goes to fund Olympic athletes? Is that right? It's kind of strange to me.

Been a busy few days but happy to report I was able to score on ice seats for London and Sarnia. Also grabbed the meet and greet for London, since I have never met Tessa and I need to rectify that situation. Taking the 10 years twins I look after to the Sarnia show, they have been obsessed with Tessa and Scott since the Olympics. It will be their first ice show outside of Disney on Ice. I think they will be pretty thrilled!

Here are highlights from Tessa’s Vogue interview http://fukiko.tumblr.com/post/174935783575/highlights-from-tessa-virtues-vogue-japan. It’s in three part the links for part 1 and 2 are at the bottom of the one I posted.

For those who do not go outside of this thread, Weaver/Poje have announced they are out of the GP series next season and will participate in the Thank You Tour. They have also said they will return to competition for Nationals.

Why we need to care about WP in VM thread? IMHO, better to invite pair skaters in show.

 

[Shayii]

Javier Fernandez is skipping the Grand Prix too maybe he’ll be in the tour as well? Basically almost everyone that was in CSOI will be in it. It’ll be nice if they can get non Canadian skaters too.

Oh @pani you can't say this about W&P doing a Canadian tour. W&P are beloved in Canada.
I guess it was just mentioned in here because many V&M fans are Canadian and may not have seen it elsewhere.

Thanks for posting the translations. This part made me smile: "Scott came running from Shin-Yokohama to the shoot and was checking the photos earnestly. Scott knows how much she likes fashion and how she admires Vogue. She only told Scott and Jeffrey Buttle about the shoot in advance, and they were both “as happy as if it had been their own good news.”"

This is relevant information for the Tessa and Scott thread because W/P are going to take part in their tour (not just any show in Canada). Plus, believe it or not, there are Tessa/Scott fans who also like Weaver/Poje and might enjoy seeing them among other skaters on that tour. And why not invite them? Like alilou said, they are liked in Canada + they usually have good exhibitions and are good show skaters in general.

I just think it is nice that they will be joining Tessa and Scott on the tour, and I specifically said I was posting the info for anyone who doesn't read outside of this thread @pani. You're really not very nice these days @pani.

 

[coppertop1]

I got my tickets and I can't wait to see the tour!

 

[kittysk8ts]

I just bought my tickets for November 11 Very excited!

I dont think you will need an invite it is a charity thing so there will be an entrance and music etc. I may go if my DD takes me.
