2018-19 Canadian figure skating

[synteis]

Congratulations on the newest addition to your family, SarahSynchro! At last you will be able to watch figure skating without constant bathroom breaks.

I have Canadian news! Gather round, everyone! Canada’s newest skating fan was born early this morning (April 24th) at 2:27AM. That’s right, NewDaughter has arrived 13 days ahead of schedule with a very short 2.5 hour labour, ending in a completely unplanned home birth in my parents’ spare bedroom. It could only be described as something right out of a sitcom, as is my whole life with my insane SynchroFam, in a nutshell. She is all ready to be christened as an up and coming Canadian skater’s uberfan! When we weren’t cat napping today, we spent lots of time watching non stop figure skating on YouTube; bless this hospital and their free wifi. We watched all the Olympic short and free programs for ladies and ice dance, and then got caught up on the 2018 world synchro championship freeskates. Gotta get them interested early, yknow.

It worked for Yuzudaughter, I mean, kind of.. until she took ome glimpse at a certain purple short program costume last year and fell in love..

Congrats Sarah!! :yay:

SarahSynchro I totally forgot to say congrats. My bad! Hope you & baby girl are well.

4everchan did you enjoy the SOI show today? The Gadbois gang who went sure did. From Instagram clips it looks like it was an awesome show.

So SOI never panned out for me this weekend. Sold out shows, resale tickets were too expensive, no babysitter... I’ll have to live vicariously through YouTube videos and everyone’s descriptions.

Weren't you like, fifty years old when that song came out in 1990? It must’ve been SO awkward, as a random old man, front row centre, at all the new kids concerts.

Oh no! I saw someone in rinkside seats with a baby on their front and I hoped it was you :cccc

Right now I'm exploring going to Skate Canada International this year. There's still a lot of tickets available (I want to decide before the lineups get announced, because you know if Yuzuru Hanyu is invited there'll be an immediate swamping, heh), so it's more a question of looking at what the hotel costs would be.

hotels are never cheap no matter what happens.... i am going to skate canada but will not need accommodation... but for pointers : the rink is in Laval.. not in Montreal... there won't be much options in Laval and if there are, those may be booked early. However, what is wonderful are the possibilities having a subway stop right by the rink open up !!! You can be anywhere in Montreal in 20-30 minutes with the subway. So, if I were you, I'd look at staying somewhere in town.... Also, since Laval is North of Montreal, there are a lot of short term accommodations available in the Montreal area called Villeray and Petite-Patrie... which would be very close (short ride on the subway) to the rink.

I'd offer my balcony but SarahsSyndrome might be crashing on there.

I'd also suggest Air BnB if you want to be closer to the venue. Or get an interesting location in town. 4everchan knows best but I thought I would suggest another option.

The men's national team members next season will be quite different!

Hey, squatters rights I say, 4everchan, as I called first dibs, long before ancientpeas and SarahSynchro ever mentioned it. I am sure there is a manger someplace close by, complete with sweet hay, as an all-inclusive ...alternative.

I did not use the company's name on purpose and called it short term accommodation

 

[ancientpeas]

Well.. I'm bringing my dragon! GB is excited.

*in truth best friend said she would go with me for 2 nights so we are going to get a hotel room near the arena so I'll have a ride and a someone to split the expensive of a hotel*

So what do we make of Scott admitting he's had dreams of a proposal? :think:

They've got to be so sick of being shipped. They need a better title than 'business partners'.

what is hilarious is that the proposal would indeed have to come from her

 

[olayolay]

They've got to be so sick of being shipped.

Should probably stop saying stuff like he's dreamed of her proposing to him then?

gosh... no.... if scott started to filter what he says... it would be a very dull world.
