BREMEN!!!! November 10-16, 2008 So sorry I’m way behind now with my blogs and will continue to apologize as I’m positive I’ll always be behind. So second week! I absolutely loved Bremen, it’s by far one of my favorite cities. Our hotel was ok and it was about 15 minutes walking distance from the center of the city. Bremen is definitely not a large city but has a beautiful center with a lot of character and history. One of the famous stories involving Bremen is the Bremen Town Musicians (German Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten, also translated as The Musicians of Bremen) which is a fairy tale recorded by the Brothers Grimm. Despite the title of the fairy tale the animals never actually arrive in Bremen. “In the story a donkey, a dog, a cat, and a ... read more

Freiburg!!!! (So sorry I'm behind but bare with me as I catch up eventually haha) “Freiburg, western gateway to the Southern Black Forest, has the happy-go-lucky attitude of a thriving university community. Framed by the velvety hills of the Black Forest, it is endowed with a wealth of historical attractions.” Germany Guide book Of coarse I didn’t really have time to see any of the historical attractions but I did explore the city, Freiburg is absolutely beautiful. To me it seemed very similar in feel to Aspen, Colorado except I was surrounded by little hills instead of giant mountains. We left Utrecht the 25th of October and stayed in Freiburg until November 3rd. That night we arrived (after a eight hour bus ride) some friends and I walked around the city and found an underground dinner ... read more

65th Anniversary Party!!! On September 29th Holiday on Ice put on an extravagant party to celebrate their 65 years of shows. All the members of my cast and all the members of the other two shows that are in production were there along with many veteran skaters. In all it was a party of about 300 people! My cast piled into two buses around 3pm and it was about 40 minute ride to this huge theatre venue. Everyone was dressed beautifully and done up nicely, we show folk know how it’s done. I took pictures in the lobby for a little while until we were ushered up onto this balcony with waiters walking around with drinks and treats. Then all 300 of us were taken into this large auditorium for a presentation and speeches. At first ... read more

Holiday on Ice 65th Anniversary biggest pin wheel I was fortunate enough to be asked to join in the biggest pinwheel ever this weekend. It was put together for Holiday on Ice’s 65th anniversary and we had 65 skaters join onto a pinwheel for Guiness book or world records to create the biggest pinwheel ever!! So, all of the Energia cast was needed and members from the other shows to accomplish this. Thursday after Energia rehearsals we jumped on a bus for Mainz, Germany to rehearse and then do it live for German television on Sunday afternoon. A five hour bus ride and we finally arrived around one in the morning. On Friday we left for an arena that I later learned we will be going back to in December to perform our show! It ... read more
