I haven't logged on in a long time, and I'm very sad to hear this news. Tinami was one of my very favorite posters. I loved what she had to say about art and culture, and I did enjoy her stimulating debate. I remember for a while wondering at some SF arts events and museums whether we were in...

Hello everyone (it's been a while since I've posted!). I happen to be in Tokyo for two weeks, and can't seem to find information about if any of the skaters actually train here, and if practices would at all be open to the public to quietly observe. I'm aware of who's not training in Japan...

I got to watch the episode late last night before it was taken down. It was interesting to listen to, even if people sometimes have a really hard time articulating themselves, or not giving coded hints that are either meaningless or too exposed to something they're not supposed to say. I do...

It's a general quickstep amalgam of Pep, Vim & Verve and Shake, Rattle & Roll

Depressing. I feel awful for the mother, her kids, her family. I live in the Bay Area and feel like a racist incident happens twice a day to me. So Winnepeg is not special in that regard. Many people need to get with it.

I haven't kept up with this thread, but found this great Fuji TV interview from 1995. It's actually very sweet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tltOAvoI1TY

She was super pissy on the big screen, and not-even-trying-to-hide-it aggro rude on the podium. He even tried to say a few light words to him, and she still gave him the pursed lips and the eyebrow shrug. Hmph.

Speaking of the technical panel ... I don't know if this is in the Kiss & Cry threads or even made the broadcast ... but daaaaayum. Ashley was super, duper rude to the technical specialist on the podium when he tried to shake her hand for congratulations. Go view your own skate first, gurl!

@Anita18 and others at SAP: Sorry if I missed this: Is the wireless free, reliable, work-worthy? Does it require a password? I was debating sitting in the arena to work, but oh well. I'm going to run a meeting with really aggro people in a few minutes then drive down to SJ. I was just going to...

In addition to the 1994 interview posted twice in this thread, this is another fascinating find - an interview with LaVonna between 1994 Nationals and the Olympics, with Connie Chung. Finally I do see what everyone meant when they say she's innately intelligent and terrifying...

While making coffee before driving down, I had some thoughts to share about things to do in San Jose for those who would like to get out of the rink for a bit: Obviously Valley Faire and Santana Row for luxury-ish shopping. An escape room game, a few blocks from Solar...

Helllooo! Working shifts this weekend, so I hope to meet you all. I have some questions: - Does anyone have NYE plans tomorrow night? My shift gets out late, so not enough time to get back up to SF or even home, considering traffic. Anything interesting going on in SJ that wouldn't just be a...

Wow, more frustration. I got assigned to 3 shifts I'm not available for at all, marked that I'm not available at those times in the first of three applications, and didn't randomly pick as alternatives in the shift scheduling tool. Then, the link to view my schedule brought me to ANOTHER...

Hi Team (I feel like we're all co-workers lightly touching the same project), Scattered thoughts: I saw the movie two nights ago, alone and up close (which was a he-said she-said saga in and of itself, to the point where my Lyft driver had to park and bang her head against the steering wheel...

Two fascinating finds: An interview from 1994, after the ban. It's an hour, and it's interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95rjRhjESUg Tonya's mother just gave an interview! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkbCFbjegjs
