Today was opening day. It was also a three show day. How crazy! It actually whizzed by though! The Zenith is ridiculously small. The ice is 5 headers here which is less than half of the normal size we play! But hardly any of the numbers were motified so there is just a crammed over-abundance of people on the ice. We also hardly move. I am skating at a snail pace compared to what I usually do. I feel bad for the audience because it is no where near as cool as when we are skating fast.
The first show was pretty crappy esp. thanks to this massive crater of a hole that developed. We were all warned to watch out for it but then you are skating a number and it slips your mind until you fall in and find yourself splattered on the ice. I tripped in it during monkeys but stayed vertical but soooo many people fell in it including Evegeny who I was skating with in Ghost.
Second show Evegeny fell again and this may have been the highlight of my day! We had to take out the spirals because of the ice size so instead we just do this one foot glide presenting our arms. When he let go of me he turned to skate away and crashed right into the candelabra and went down. He didn’t get hurt so that was good and we were laughing the whole rest of the number about it.

Was it like the slope/resulting puddle at Rockland Rink?
