Ok, here's my Kerrs' report... more than a month later, sorry, I'm such a disaster
I've already tell you some of this things, and you've already see the pics, but I wanted to have it all together
As you can imagine, one of the main things I wanted to do in Paris was meeting the Kerrs. My friends went to TEB the past year, and they told me how lovely S&J are, but I wanted to see it by myself
When we arrived to the hotel on Friday, we sat down in the sofas that the hotel have in its hall, with the other spaniards over there. We were talking about our plans for the weekend, and that things, when somebody left the hotel, one of my friends asked: "did you see him?" our answer was "no" and she continued: "He was John Kerr"... wait wait wait...Did I lose one of the Kerrs in my first minutes in Paris?
After this, I was like
all the time repeating once and again "I've missed John, I can't forgive me" and my friends said that we'd see them lots of times in that weekend... and they were right
During the competition we broke our throats supporting them. I can also say, that I was really surprised of that 2nd position in the CD. After the CD I was repeating all the time "we're gonna see John's jeans... twice"
And the OD arrived. Live is much better than in videos, it cheers the crowd up, makes them clap, it's great, really funny. Pity that they lost the 2nd position, but that was expected.
After the OD already in the hotel, we were waiting for some skaters for taking pics, the ice-dancing teams above all. After getting pics with the canadian and french pair, the Kerrs appeared. Everyone wanted pics with them
Sinead was in a part of the hall, and John in another one, between them, their Dad talking with some of my friends about my country
and later somebody told me that their Mum was giving Kerrs' pic for being autographed
That's when I asked Sinead for a picture, and congratulated her for their programs, she's so nice

i645.photobucket.com/albums/uu171/orangeteam/con%20patinadores/BOMPARD2009049.jpgHe was with his hat on, so, while he was signing, I asked him about his hat-secret, you know, it doesn't fall during the entire program ;D
He told me that he uses a lot of hairspray and later, he puts the hat on, and it remains like glued to his head. So I guess he was with the hat yet because his hair was a huge mess.
I congratulated him too, and took a picture. John is great too, both of them are amazing people

this is just a random comment
John was having breakfast alone... poor him, in our table there was enough space
Already in the arena, we were having fun with the Scotland flag until FD's time

I must confess that after watching it in a video previous to TEB I thought it was less strong than "Ruled by secrecy", but I was wrong, as happened with the OD, it's really different watching it live. The best thing is that the FD was already incredible, but they can improve it even more.
The music catches you, is a great feeling. Then I threw to the ice our little present... a bull called Facundo
Sinead was holding it during the K&C.

They seemed so happy, and we were all the time screaming and clapping (I guess all our neighbours there hated us so much) in one of the videos it can be heard one of our screams while Sinead is getting her medal...
We waited for them outside the bercy because we had a present for them. When we saw them appear, we started to applauding, and they thanked us all the support. (Have I already say how lovely are they?
)
While Sinead was taking pics with some other fans, and John was signing photos, I told him that we love his jeans
And he told us that the FD jeans are from Zara, and they have wax and toothpaste for making them older.
Finally we gave them our present, and took some photos with the orange T-shirts

They quickly agreeed.
You already know the vid, but here is it again:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kgbW45HGXYwe thanked them sooooo much their patience with us and their kindness
Sunday arrived and we visited a bit of Paris, I couldn't help in my first visit to Paris, taking a pic with the Eiffel Tower
we came back to the hotel and we looked for the rest of the spaniards, they were in the Starbucks but we didn't know where was it, so we started walking... 10 minutes later we were too much tired for continuing, so we came back to a bench close to the hotel while we were trying to phone our friends.
During our attempts I saw S,J and their dad approaching to us... I though "they must think that we pursue them or sth"
They said hello to us, and I saw they were carrying starbucks coffees, so I quickly reacted and asked John, who was closer to us, in a quite desperate tone
"John, please, where's the Starbucks?
" he kindly explained us the way without being scared at all
We said bye to them, and when they were continuing their way, their Dad suddenly stopped and came back to our bench, and said...
"in spanish: uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinque?"
what a great man!! We gave him a short spanish lesson with the number five
and he followed S&J repeating "cinco...cinco...cinco". Love this man
Finally, I was a bit sad during the Ex, because that amazing weekend was finishing. We enjoyed their performance at the gala, but, above all, in the finale, when Sinead lifts John. He waves to the audience, and when they reached our zone in the crowd, he pointed at us (at least that's what I wanna think
). So we went, literally, crazy ;D
When we were leaving the arena, after taking some more pics, we saw Sinead and her Dad leaving the arena, and we, from a bit far, applauded her once again
she thanked us again all our support
and that's when their dad, asked us if we could pose for a pic
Kinda surprised we posed and he took us the only pic in all the weekend where all the spanish girls are together
I guess he want that picture for giving it to the police... "look these girls? don't leave them come back to Paris never!"
just kidding, Mr.Kerr is a great man
Later, we saw John signing more autographs
Finally we had to leave the hotel, TEB 2009 and Paris, so we, with our suitcases, left the Novotel until, at least, the next year
And who were the last people in telling us "good bye" in the hotel? I'll give you a hint... they're the most lovely people all over the world
Hope you liked my report, and I hope it makes sense... me and my english
