For all of us who have been lucky enough to attend skating competitions live, most of us (maybe not the unlucky few whose flights got cancelled two hours before the event you had tickets to or who got the flu and couldn't leave the hotel for long enough to watch) know that they can create some of our most treasured memories-I know they have for me, and I've only been to one. Naturally, here on GS, the topic of "oh yeah, I met so-and-so at such-and-such in 2011," or "I saw that skate live" comes up a lot, and some of you might want to expand on that but don't feel it's appropriate to do so in that thread because, well... it's just too off-topic. So, if you've ever been compelled to tell everybody about what happened to you at Cup of China in 2008, here's where you can do that! You can be as long-winded as you like (I have issues with that myself...), but here's the most basic information you should share:
1) The event, location and year
2) what events you watched
3) This is where you can get really detailed if you want: what happened there? What stood out to you? This can be as basic as who won and "I liked it" or as detailed as what row you sat in and whose music drove you insane and what you ate and whose costume was amazing and whose was distracting and how long your flight was delayed for and the crying baby sitting behind you and the performance that made you cry and the dude who hit you in the head with the encyclopedia he was throwing as a toss gift and...
You get the point. It's your story, and nobody experienced it just like you did, so go to town!
