If you are watching the practices or any of the competition in person, please feel free to share your stories with us on this thread.
Who is doing well?
Who is standing out?
What are you eating at the venue?
:popcorn:

The NHK thread was empty because NO ONE could get in and the practices were closed. This time, many members from GS seem to be on their way to Barcelona so I hope that you will share your impressions with us. :luv17:

I did see an ice rink in Barcelona today, filled with skaters! But it was at the La Maquinista shopping mall. ;-)
Was there an unofficial or closed to the public practice today? I think GPF Barcelona posted a photo about it to their facebook account.

I'm expecting MINUTE BY MINUTE diary of your time in Espana, while I SLAVE over the dance results.

Make that SECOND BY SECOND. ;)

Just kidding. Have a marvelous time and check in with all the dirt--I mean details--when you can!

I'll be going too, but I'm not sure how much of a practice reporter I can be - combination of crappy internet and the luck to meet some lovely people there. Another thing I'm grateful for to this sport :)

You're putting on me way too much pressure :laugh: My laptop died, and I have no money for a new one, so I'll try my best to post SOMETHING with my phone. But maybe when I'll be back home I will post long-*** report. No promises, though :)

LOL! This genuinely made me choke with laughter just when I had taken a big gulp of my coffee. Thank goodness I had a napkin handy!

Bravo!

Ouch. I'm going to be up at my sister's for this with HER ancient laptop, so doing the scoring is going to be EXTRA SPECIAL!!! Laptop keyboards drive me crazy--I learned to touch type on a manual typewriter (I think it's now in a museum somewhere, along with some 8-track players and Walkman).

Well bring a notebook, take notes, and ASTOUND US with your MAGNUM GPF OPUS when you get back. :)

I STILL USE Walkman. And I'm not even as old as you :slink:

Edit: without cassetes of course :biggrin:

I will probably skip most of the junior practices this morning, but definitely attend seniors. Unfortunately, if my memory serves correctly, the CCIB did not offer free wifi last year, and I am a wifi-only user, so there probably won't be anything live from me.

We're at pairs practice. Yuzuru appeared at the side of the rink and goes through his program, and suddenly nobody was interested in the people on the ice anymore :laugh2: super hilarious. There was a whole bunch of girls wandering to the other side of the rink. We had a blast watching that. It's like at the zoo, only more hilarious.
