Thanks for the link, reut.

"The idea behind this dance is I'm [portraying] someone who's kind of in turmoil," John said. "'Krwlng' is sometimes a symptom of a crystal meth addict, having a feeling of insects crawling inside your skin. That's not necessarily what it's about for us; during the Olympics, talking about being a drug addict probably isn't the best idea."

"John is having a lot of strife, a lot of trouble in his life and I'm either his conscience or something else that's trying to help him through," Sinead added.

Wow. I like that idea. Very unusual and unique. The more I learn, the more I'm attracted to Kerrwing. I'm dying to see it!!!

..ohhh so it is krwLng,.... not krwIng !!??
L not I..... ooops, I got it wrong then! crawling.....not curving....sort of..... eehhhh?! ......but I think I like KERRwing better anyway!!!! ....besides, i´m quite sure that John wrote krwIng...
The story behind it is interesting though!

Thanks for the link, Reut - what a great article!

Love the bit about Sinead being the truck driver and John being the hitchhiker! ;D

Are those the final OD costumes? I hope so because I love them!

[AnniS]

I agree with Clairebear. Love the costumes! And, as Sinead said, it is her turn to show off!!!!
Who wouldn´t want to be picked up by that truck driver?....and who wouldn´t pick up that hichhiker??!!
....
(Must change the FD name again... Scots are usually very good at curling, right? ...krwlng...kerrlng...kerrling........ )

Sorry to all those who liked John in a kilt.


Instead we get Sinead in very short shorts.

;D

I am looking forward to seeing these dances in completion. It's too bad that I am not going down to the NY area until after they've finished these shows! I definitely can say that I got the same feeling from what I did see of the FD as I did last from last year's FD. Similar style but of course, always different! I like the costumes as well. Glad Sinead gets her chance to show off too.

ohhh so it is krwLng,.... not krwIng !!??

No matter.. Kerrwlng.. Kerrwing..

Great pics!

I guess I'm not the only one thinking that the roof will come down in Vancouver?!?!

And the FD: I love that song! I was hoping for another intense programme after last season's success. It's hardly an obvious choice for the Olympics but I think it's great that it stands in crass contrast to the Cash number. Also, if anyone can express the angst in this song and its disturbing lyrics on the ice, then Sinead and John! Curious about the costumes for this one. Tourniquets and bugs as props? Ok, probably not..

I can't wait to see the full programmes!

I love that their costumes always suit the dances well.

Yes!!! ..... John will be tearing his hair out in agony and turmoil, .....and Sinead chasing him down with some strong sedatives.....

I'm sure John said there was appropraite head wear, cowboy hats, for the OD.

[sunnyskate]

I saw a couple different hats when I was watching them.. ONE of them was a cowboy hat!

[AnniS]

Sounds good, ....but, are they going to super-glue them on?
It will be awsome, I´m sure! Can´t wait to see it...... I´ve still got Johnny Cash singing in my head (and since there isn´t all that much else in there, he has got plenty of room.... ) !!

Kirby grips!
