> anyone out there GO to Skate America?
Yes. :o)
>what programs did Nicole Bobek
> do, and what were her jumps in the long?
Short program was to "Zorro" soundtrack. Long program was to "Evita."
Jumps were: 3 lutz short of rotat., fell out. 3 flip skid but OK,
possibly 2 footed. 3 sal-2 toe. 3 toe step out. 2 axel. 2 toe.
These are from my own notes, so I could be forgetting something. The
arena had these really awesome daiquiris in the concourse... (it was the
ladies, how else was I going to get through it?)
Daiquiris??!! What kind of drink is that for a figure skating fan?
Thanks goodness Skate Canada is back in Saint John next year,and you
can sample the local brew (Moosehead) here in lovely Harbour Station.

Okay, Dave, I'll hold my nose and drink one (I hate beer), but please
don't make me eat a donair! :^)
Last year in Halifax I tried to create the ultimate mixed drink, the
"Blond Russian," but didn't get far since the bar I went to had no
liqueurs (half vodka and half rum with a cherry was the best I could
do).
Ob. Skating: the daiquiri was really more in celebration of the men and
dance results than in dread of the ladies. But it did help to assuage
the depressing skating we saw.

What would you suggest for drinks named after skaters?
Tara Lipinski: Prepare standard Shirley Temple. Add a teaspoon of
sugar; stir well. Serve in gold-rimmed shot glass. No refills. (One sip
and you know it's great.)
Nicole Bobek: Pour straight vodka and add lime twist. Dump out. Add
vermouth. Dump out. Add peppermint schnapps and bourbon. Dump out. Go
through entire round of liqueurs in cabinet in same fashion. Close eyes,
pick a bottle, pour. Serve on the rocks.
Todd Eldredge: There's actually a drink called a Toddmosa (Cook's
champagne and Minute Maid orange juice), but maybe someone can think of
something even more appropriate.

Axellent blend of Midori mellon liqueur, triple sec,
and bittersweet cranberrie juice, adorned with

Caryn Kadavy: Smoothie lassi
Puree mango pulp, ice, and yogurt
Todd Eldredge: Hot Toddy!
Warmed rum. Unpretentious and heartwarming.
Samuel Adams may do as well ...

The local tavern in Caroline Alberta (home of Kurt Browning) serves up QUAD
shots in his honor. I'm sure you can imagine the mess that makes after a few.
