Well we did it. With all the travel and rehearsals (and juggling of our "real" jobs), the deadline kind of snuck up on us, but yesterday I got the confirmation email:
=====================================
You have regsitered for the US Open.
=====================================
Yikes!
The Meat and I actually performed our routine for the first time this past weekend at Swing Niagara - knowing we'd be disqualified based on one of the elements, but it was important to get it out there, in costume, and on a competition floor.
Speaking of floors....I seem to remember reading a profile of Benji and Heidi in 5678Swing magazine - years ago! - in which Heidi was quoted saying something to the effect "We've done everything we can to get ready for this moment; the only thing can't control is the floor". So true! All of the competitors were affected, but (thankfully!) nobody got hurt.
Oh, and gremlins got into the computers on which they were managing all the competitions and scoring - that was a drag - but otherwise the event was a blast! Toronto did amazingly well in all the competitions, and we defended the Pro-Am Challenge Cup.
Grapes and Ju-Jubes for all!!!
Ciao,
Julie
