Mr. Puglover and I are going to Calgary. They are not holding it in the saddle dome and I am glad. I hope it will be more intimate.

Charlie White has very kind words about working on the Rock the Rink tour:

“I have words. The RTR process and why the experience has been so meaningful to me. Don’t miss this— @rocktherinktour”

It's great that they are all transitioning to contributing behind-the-scenes and get to work with each other. I wouldn't be surprised if Scott coached - his analysis is very sharp.

I'm not a particularly over emotional person but this...so sad they are leaving us.

 

[Emdee]

I cried watching the videos...will run out of tears by the time they reach Oshawa!

 

[pani]

The same. Can't get, how they could skate this number without tearing every time.
I think Cote did a great job with "Wish you were ...", arms moves, connection steps look amazing.
And Charlie also did great job with group numbers. Love Sway

Wow - pani - nice to hear your thoughts again.

Cleveland show is cancelled. Hope they sell more seats ...would be sad if the tour fails especially because it is their last tour.

It looks like they're selling better than SOI at the moment?

ETA: Really awful that they cancelled the Cleveland show!

From the end:

I’m finishing my psychology degree right now, and my plan is to start my MBA at Queen’s in the fall. Just from an entrepreneurial standpoint, a lot of new business things. I’m really excited for some new projects, some new collaborations, and it would be nice to sink my teeth into something off the ice as well.

watched some of v/m's RTR performances on youtube and I have to say I cried during Fix You. I rarely cry during figureskating shows. the only other time I did was during gordeeva's tribute to her late husband in the 90s.

Scott has been coaching.

 

[Andora]

Scott has been coaching.

That's great. He seemed to be on a tour of rinks, and at least some old coaches (Gadbois, Igor's camp). Seemed like a good way to get involved and learn before settling somewhere.

And if he ever finds himself with burgeoning skating superstars on his hands, Tessa can market them.

 

[bbkenn]

Just saw the St.John's Rock the Rink (not sure when that was actually performed) and cried my eyes out. After watching the FD's at NHK on NBC today, I just miss them so much and to watch their last skating performance ever, was really sad.
