| - Ice skater? Nope, but last week I was there for two days in a row and would definitely like to return soon. Yep, I had that much of a fun time. Even though it's a small rink and the first night that I was there (it was for a Vegas Seven/Wendoh Media event) it was a private event, the place was PACKED! I got semi-claustrophobic waiting around and just ended up enjoying the freebies that they were passing out--food and drink samples, as well as s'mores kits. It really was tons of fun, just not with tons of people running into each other on a tiny rink. So, after probably an hour of playing catchup, went home.
I returned the next night to enjoy some QT with all sorts of Yelpers and that was definitely a much more enjoyable experience. No it wasn't as packed, but that was a good thing, since I got through the line, signed my life away quickly, and then went and threw on some skates. I'm not gonna lie, I was afraid for my life when I first stepped on the ice, but then after a few minutes, it was like riding a bike: FALL a lot, then get up and try to not fall as much. Yep, It was fun and I was even able to see some old and new Yelpers enjoying themselves at this event. I definitely felt more able to breathe, enjoy my time, NOT show off my nonexistent skating moves (as opposed to the previous night), and getting a taste of the "cold" that everyone else is experiencing at this time of year.
Thanks so much to Misti for setting this up and I'm also glad that you threw in the toy donation stipulation as part of this. It was definitely worth it and at least my butt is not screaming in agony like it was the very first time that I attempted to ice skate.
Can't wait to return :)
