Really random thoughts from Worlds and Calgary...
- Never ever take an America West flight to Las Vegas if it's a layover. That's where my flight to Calgary got cancelled. I talked to the guy sitting next to me in the Phoenix airport food court and he mentioned that his America West flight from Las Vegas had been cancelled too in the past. It's like a black hole...
- You know you're in the US terminal at the Calgary airport when the line for Starbucks is longer than the line for Tim Horton's.
- It was barely over 35 degrees in Calgary when I was there, and I went the entre time without wearing a single pair of socks. I love my Ugg boots!
- John Kerr is SUCH a sweetie. And he's cute and has a hot Scottish/British accent to boot! And his sister Sinead is taller than him when she's on heels! No wonder why people are saying they might have to break up as a team...
- Eman is also a real sweetie. He stays after every night to talk to fans and sign autographs - he seems like a guy who needs a lot of goodwill from others to come his way so he can be happy.
- I barely recognize Jeff Buttle without his hair.
- No, no, he didn't shave it off - he was wearing a white stetson hat and I almost missed him walking past Denise and I until I realized it was Joannie Rochette wearing a white stetson hat walking along with him. He was aware that we did recognize him, LOL, even if we tried not to show it. He strikes me as being quite bright and perceptive...
- I still cannot get over how TINY Brian Orser is. Really.
- John Nicks is such an adorable little old man, LOL.
- The figure skating athlete/fan interactions are so cute.
- LOL at the Bulgarian fans a few rows behind me chanting, "BUL-GAH-REE-AH! BUL-GAH-REE-AH!" all during the free dance.
- Canada arenas are anti-Gestapo. I sat in row 10 next to Denise when I was supposed to be up in the second tier. My bag was never searched, and my ticket was never checked.
- Apparently in the US, in order to sneak food into the arena you have to hide it in a Kotex box. Too bad for the guys out there, eh?
- It lightly flurried right before I left! Calgary was saying, "Bye! Have some snow!" to me! I stuck my hands out and walked around like a total CA tourist, LOL. Well don't blame me! I haven't seen snow fall for almost 10 years!
- Lil sis always wanted a letter opener with a blade (she's morbid like that) and I saw one at a souvenir shop and bought it, but it was almost confiscated by US Customs. It really did look like a knife on the monitor, LOL...
- ..I'll add some more when they come to mind..
