I woke up at some strange hour- I know it was before midday- Got myself ready etc.. and had to shout at Tara to get her out of bed.
Grabbed some breakfast with Cruella and Jenny (who looked very ill poor thing) and made our way to the Gala! Yay- Although a million depressions that it was all over :(
Highlights of the Gala? SANDHU!!! A&P!!! Plushy!! S&P!!! YAY
You've seen it and read lots of reviews anyway. Saw Connie briefly at the arena and said goodbye- Also to Jenny who was getting a plane later as was Cruella, but Jenny couldn't come out to play as v. ill, but Cruella was up for a few bits of final voidyness before getting her flight.
So off to the Hyatt! Wheeee
First people we saw were the glued at the hip A&P mothers! Wheeee
We ate dinner and I bought Cruella and I a final champagne and she left - WAH! :(
Dave and Meghan arrived shortly after with the Belgians and we amused ourselves by getting gang pictures and ones of us all in a void- LOLOLOL
Then in the bar came the Brits! Wheeee! Marika and Vitaly! Said hello and had a nice chat- They looked fabulous as were off to the banquet. Later, shells was showing us her postcards to various web people, so I yanked the one for Marge Simpson out of her hand and marched up to Vitaly and got him to sign it for her! Wheeee!
Skater Don turned up Love Skater Don but he saw too much skating during the week to really hang with us a lot!
So all the skaters had deserted us They were off to the banquet - All looking fab
So we sat in the bar, having laughs and drinks and saying goodbye to various people throughout the night which was putting us in depression and then YAY! The skaters started arriving back!
We finally gave in and instead of being 'Cool Bar Chicks' we succumbed and ran out with our cameras and became the dreaded 'LOBBY CHICKS' accosting every skater that walked past LOL
This is the point that I told Grunshina and Goncharov that they could do so much better than 'Gladiator' and that Linichuk was crap and they should leave her! They sort of agreed!!! PML!!!!
Stannick was totally pleased to get screamed at by 6 women LOL.
We spoke to Shae!! LOL and got a picture- I was soooo disappointed she wasnt a bitch LOL- She was very cute actually and was hugging everyone PML (note from shells: Sharon was originally in this photo but asked to be edited out...so that leaves Shae and myself in it )
After a point I got tired of being a Lobby Chick- Felt like I should have had a frog on me or something - Gave my camera to Tara and told her to get a lot of shots and went and sat down at a table drinking with Marika and Vitaly! Wheeee We talked about the state of British skating etc etc-- A web page Daphne and myself should start work on in the summer etc etc...i was there ages PML- At that point Mishy came along and Tara popped up and we said our goodbyes to him and took pictures - I think he bummed a fag too ;)
Tara was coming along telling me delerious stories of what she was saying to skaters- Including Gallopin Galit which Im sure she'll share. I grabbed the omnipresent Sergei S and talked about Eurosport Commentary with him and we peed ourselves over him being called 'The Best Male Ice Dancer since Christopher Dean' When they have said it about Gwendal and Pov as well LOLOLOL. I also spoke to Elvis and we were LOLing about the Maple Leaf Sweatered people
No Keyla Ohs in sight tonight but they are sooooo IT innit!
Tanith and Tim look like they are good mates
Hmmm after all this deleriousness it was time for shells to make her last appearance at the Crime Lab! Wheeee!!!!
Drank ourselves into a VOID again. shells, Mandie and Tara went to Dennys- I was feeling too voidy so I retired to bed after saying goodbye to shells :(
Lots of pictures from tonight which will go up soon. (**note from shells: link to photo gallery at the bottom of the main Vancouver page**)
