It looks like Gabby was not at Victoria. Hopefully nothing serious.

Happy to hear Shawn is going to be in Vancouver (my one stop where I'm NOT taking photos), sad to hear Gabby is out and hope she recovers quickly. I don't recall so many injuries in past tours!
did you take pictures in Victoria?
No, I wasn't in Victoria. I just mean Vancouver is the only stop *I'm* going to where I'm not taking photos. Not the only stop of the tour =).
Oh I hope somebody got the mirror cantilevers on video! PLEASE!Just got home from the Vancouver show. Mr alilou came with me and he loved it. It's the first time he's seen live skating, though from time to time I make him watch something from competitions on TV or the laptop. He said Shawn Sawyer gets the prize for the best butt of the night, and he was seriously impressed with Kurt (as was I) and without prompting commented on how silent his blades were. Standouts for me were D&R's We Could Be Heroes, both of Kurt's numbers, both of Shawn's numbers, and Luba and Dylan just because I love them and it was so good to see them live even if they did do one of their numbers to that awful LP song they used last season Josh Groban puke or something. Mr alilou also commented that he could see how Luba and Meagan are similar types - fearless and feisty. Pair girls rule!
I've seen Patrick live before, in competition, and was completely blown away, but not so much tonight, though he is very smooth and his jumps were a thing of beauty - easily the best of the night. Kaetlin was lovely, Elvis was okay, Kurt was masterful. Overall the show was fabulous and a lot of fun and we're both glad we went.
At the very end after all the other skaters had finally left the ice Shawn and Luba went flying down the ice and did mirror cantilevers
Oh I hope somebody got the mirror cantilevers on video! PLEASE!
I adore Sara Harms for this!
I've been watching this again and again! If you are too young to remember James Brown, please, please, please go to youtube and watch James Brown do "Please, please, please" and you will really get the genius of Kurt here.A kind soul has taken the entire Vancouver performance. Check it out before they are gone:
