OK, overslept *rubs sleep out of eyes*.
If history repeats itself, the video will only be for the finals, so all is not lost...yet...

...now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go get those blinking numbers tabbed up...back in a minute...

Hey michey! You watchin' from beautiful Carmel?

Yes, (it's still pitch black outside...so I'm assuming it's still beautiful!)

Internet connection at the hotel is s-l-o--o-o-o-o-o-w

[ricksny]

Yes they are flying along here

[Laura (Lori)]

Hi, 'Michey'! *waving*

Are you there yet? (blinking numbers site)

To get you caught up: In the heats, only Katherine advanced for the ladies - Travis and JR for the men (and JR has already advanced in the QF's). Something happened to Jordan in the last lap of his heat - he was in first, then his numbers (and my heart) stopped. The Japanese skater was DQ'd, but for some reason Jordan wasn't advanced. Would like to hear how that one played out.

*Hoping Jordan's okay*

[Laura (Lori)]

TRAVIS SECOND!

[mtnme]

YAAAAAAAY Travis!

....Flou

[mtnme]

Yes, I'm here.


Man, they aren't messin' around with those races. They're getting 'em on and off the ice faster than my internet connection can refresh! LOL

[mtnme]

OK, I gotta go make some coffee while the zamboni does it's thing. Back in a minute...

[ricksny]

It will be late afternoon when cctv5 shows whatever. I wonder if it will be taped vid of the heats.

[Laura (Lori)]

Well, I've reheated my tea, ready for round 2 for the Ladies - we have 2 East-Coast'ers, 2 West-Coast'ers here chatting (assuming ricksny is from NY, which could be a totally erroneous assumption). Where's our 'Middle-America' peeps? Y'all need to represent!

Well, that's a bummer. Let's check at 7am just to be sure...

[ricksny]

Yes, Long Island, NY here. And I meant late afternoon in Bulgaria 10am eastern. They show a Sports thing coming on in 3 minutes. Then it should list what comes on at 10

[Laura (Lori)]

This is really kinda wierd that they're taking ALL the 3rd place finishers - in both the heats and the QF. Why don't they just say 'picking 3'?
