Nebula5: Yes, but I remember it from the year before MarshalBak: <-----was at Calgary for the figure skating events MargeR1: Did anyone else think Scott Williams marks were high and Orsers too low? Nebula5: (I think) Nebula5: Not especially LeeAnn 1: Orser always seems to get low scores. I always feel badly for him. JulieD3964: I didn't pay much attention to the marks actually LeeAnn 1: But I really like Scott Williams's routine. MargeR1: I was surpised that Williams picked music that is so associated with other skaters JulieD3964: He looked displeased though OnlineHost: CarolSel has entered the room. LeeAnn 1: Hi Carol! BrendaW660: Hi, Carol!! Nebula5: I really liked Sco... Hey, you beat me. CarolSel: Hi. How's everyone tonight? Nebula5: I don't associate Bolero with any other good routines. MargeR1: I kept thinking of Torvill and Dean and I was getting bored during his version. JulieD3964: Me too Marge Nebula5: :| MargeR1: I though his long hair flying around was also distracting JulieD3964: That, and thinking about how Janet goes crazy over Scott Williams' hair LeeAnn 1: I thought he should have pulled it back to a ponytail.

MargeR1: and....... SERNDIP897: They sell out our 17,000 seat areana every year. LeeAnn 1: He didn't know, but said he'll make a few phone calls and try to find out tomorrow. Nebula5: Where are you?

MargeR1: We are working on getting the articles now JulieD3964: No - Piruetten is on the 6th MargeR1: The official topic was Pro Masters JulieD3964: and Oct 30 and Nov 13th Nebula5: I like to put in the header when I upload, thanks. MorryS: Our skaters left for Piruetten yesterday LeeAnn 1: Thanks Julie - I was hoping they wouldn't be on the same day. I know that the Piroutten was on the 30 MargeR1: I hated when Espn does that score box on my favorite routines like Caryn kadavy GR..... Nebula5: Lillehammer, yes? LeeAnn 1: and then the next two saturdsays also. Just hoping they weren't conflicting air times. SERNDIP897: Me too!!!! Nebula5: Yes, Cant they do it silently??? CarolSel: It's better than breaking for a sports update. JulieD3964: The only conflict I see so far is with Challenge of Champions and Europeans - just like last year MargeR1: The networks LOVE to put two skating events on at the same time or partial overlap ..... SERNDIP897: That's true... MargeR1: It has to hurt the ratings too Nebula5: Well, football & baseball & such overlap... JulieD3964: No news on a Skate Canada telecast - can your dad find out on that LeeAnn - it was CBS last year MorryS: If you can get Canadian TV the will show most of all skating events LeeAnn 1: Depends - the competition witht he bigger name always gets the better ratings. Nebula5: I only get CBC LeeAnn 1: I'll ask him Julie. JulieD3964: We are getting some Canadian Nationals coverage for a change though! SERNDIP897: Can anyone tell me if it's true that Dick Button lives in New Salem New York?

Nebula5: Thanks as always CarolSel: Good bye Morry. JulieD3964: I saved his piece on Sandra Bezic from last year - still have it SERNDIP897: Bye Morry LeeAnn 1: I asked him about it yesterday, and he barely remembers writing it. :( He said he writes them and LeeAnn 1: then forgets them.

LeeAnn 1: Hehehe JulieD3964: According to Patinage, it's Appalachian Spring AND Lincoln Portraits Nebula5: Some of us posted bios in the Skating topics, back a few weeks. OnlineHost: Skrmom has entered the room. LeeAnn 1: Is one the long and the other the short? LeeAnn 1: Hi! Nebula5: Didn't he use that a long time ago? Nebula5: Hi Skrmom! Skrmom: hi SERNDIP897: Has David Foster composed any new material for Brian B? Skrmom: hi All LeeAnn 1: Is he going to be using Carousel (sp?( at all? Nebula5: I remember one year he was using "All American" music (before Calgary) Skrmom: I'm not impressed with David Foster's stuff LeeAnn 1: What is Lincoln Portraits? SERNDIP897: Too New Agey?

Nebula5: Gee, that's so... complex! LeeAnn 1: Too slow or something? JulieD3964: I went to a Republican dinner a couple of years ago and they did a Lincoln montage MargeR1: I've never heard the Lincoln portrait Nebula5: Aha, guilt by association! LeeAnn 1: Hopefully Brian B. will give you better memories of it. :) LeeAnn 1: Me neither Marge. Nebula5: (I hate it when music gets associated with something unrelated.) JulieD3964: With the speakers BOOMING out "Lincoln. A Man. Of many words. He said da da da. And THIS IS WHAT HE JulieD3964: SAID......" grrrrr SERNDIP897: Where is Elaine Zyack these days? JulieD3964: Hard stuff to edit too - it has a narrator!

JulieD3964: Hey - I like Lincoln - just not the Lincoln Portraits! :) SERNDIP897: Training for What? JulieD3964: She did well at Mid Atlantics.... Nebula5: Wow.

BrendaW660: Where would you find a copy, Julie? Nib922: books you want to buy or check out of library? JulieD3964: No results though - both of Maribel Vinson's books are good GeneR50983: Not closely.

GeneR50983: :) LeeAnn 1: :) JulieD3964: Petkevich is good but he's more instructional than historical OnlineHost: BEERnPNUTS has left the room. GeneR50983: So do I, Marge. But it's light on sagas. BrendaW660: Speaking of used book stores, I find virtually the same boooks on skating wherever I check BrendaW660: used bookstores. I guess it's because I'm in South Carolina, there isn't much of a selection. Nebula5: That's one of my pet peeves, the dearth of skating books. JulieD3964: There's always Julia Whedon's The Fine Art of Ice Skating but it has mistakes GeneR50983: Write one! Nebula5: NOTME Nib922: gotta go, nice chatting GeneR50983: Yes, Yes.

GeneR50983: Send your clone for the lesson w/Geremi! Nebula5: Hope not OnlineHost: BrendaW660 has left the room. JulieD3964: Maybe I'll quit skating - been thinking about it anyway LisaSeven: Gene, do you want to be on the group E-mail list? Nebula5: Never Quit! GeneR50983: Yes, by all means. JulieD3964: It's not much fun anymore for some reason LisaSeven: You can't quit, Julie. OK Gene. LisaSeven: I just wanted to check that you wanted to receive the mail because you'll get alot!!! GeneR50983: Go ahead, quit. But only after you have a triple loop ad a double axel. JulieD3964: Ask Gene - every word out of my mouth Tues was "Time for a STUPID whatever I was trying" Nebula5: Just wait until the Season starts up. Nebula5: I always want to strap on my skates & stumble a round after watching great skaters. JulieD3964: No double or triples in MY future - I'm never gonna be any good - mediocre at best GeneR50983: It's true. Maybe Julie's been watching Beavis and Butthead. JulieD3964: heh heh heh LisaSeven: Julie, you have got to stop letting Katerina make you feel inferior! Nebula5: (Gee, are they going to be the costumed Ice Capades characters this year?_ JulieD3964: It's MARK! JulieD3964: LOL Neb - Beavis & Butthead at the Ice Capades GeneR50983: You got ahead of me. You are good now and will be excellent soon. B & B ref: your use of "stupid" LisaSeven: Did we decide on a forum next week? Is it an open forum? Nebula5: A friend worked on Bart Simpson parts for their Ice Capades bit. LisaSeven: Sorry to have gotten here so late and asking these things now. JulieD3964: You needa topic lemme think of one FAST...... Nebula5: A week of making Bart Arms! GeneR50983: Things have gotten silly as well. Nebula5: No skating shows on this coming week? LisaSeven: Did Morry show up for the forum? Does anyone know when he is leaving for Skate Am.? OnlineHost: BrendaW660 has entered the room. Nebula5: Yes he was here, don't know. GeneR50983: Bart Arms? Is this a strange apartment complex? "Meet me at the Bart Arms.' JulieD3964: No - sorry on all counts - first telecast I know of is Oct 30th LisaSeven: I think HOPEFULLY Skate America will be on t.v. but can't find out. JulieD3964: I have a topic for next week for you! MargeR1: That is too far away!!!!! Nebula5: ??? LisaSeven: I can't find out if Skate America will be televisied.

JulieD3964: I have one in mind RIGHT NOW LisaSeven: I think the worst was Debi Thomas' 87' exhibition number where she was trying to be SERNDIP897: What is Piruetten? GeneR50983: Yers? Nebula5: Well, next week... LisaSeven: silly but it had to be the dumbest and most boring routine I have ever had the misfortune LisaSeven: to see. MargeR1: Kurt Browning's Charlie Brown GeneR50983: Pardon. Meant to say, "yes?" LisaSeven: And I hate to say that as I like her. JulieD3964: Brian Boitano's 87 exhibition with the fireballs and the cape Nebula5: Save it! LisaSeven: Kurt Nebula5: Next Week! LisaSeven: sCharlie Brown was horrible. JulieD3964: Just fodder to think about..... LeeAnn 1: It didn't go over well witht the audience. Nebula5: OK, who's hosting LisaSeven: The problem is that some people will think we are focusing on the negative or something. BrendaW660: Hey, we could do a David Letterman-style Top 10 List. JulieD3964: Charlie Brown or the Fireballs? MargeR1: It is now 10 :oo I declare open chat and no topic SERNDIP897: Hey guys-what is purettin?
