Johnny Weir debuts new short program for 2009-2010 season
Johnny Weir debuted his new short program yesterday at the 8th Annual Stars, Stripes and Skates Icetravaganza in Danbury, Connecticut. The event was to benefit The Heritage Foundation of 9/11, which promotes patriotism, heroism and volunteerism as a way to honor the lives lost on 9/11. Johnny skated to I Love You, I Hate You, composed by Argentinian pianist Raul di Blasio. The number was also choreographed by his new choreographer, Canadian David Wilson, which is a departure from Johnny's previous "I must have Russian choreographers" mantra. I thought the program was good. I loved the costume and the colors (as usual), but the program itself didn't grab me as some of his other numbers. I don't know if it's still being tweaked, if he was tired (he was at the Danbury Arena Rink the entire day), if the reality show crew following him around was a distraction, or maybe it's as simple as -- I liked the program, I didn't love the program.
By the way, the crew filming his reality series Be Good Johnny Weir (beginning January 4, 2010 on the Sundance Channel) was filming Johnny being interviewed by me. It was kind of surreal since I'm used to just seeing my lone video partner doing it all. It actually made me nervous to be surrounded by an additional cameraman, a soundman, an assistant to the directors, the directors, and god knows who else. It also made me appreciate all that my chief cook and bottle washer Joe does when we produce video stories.

Thanks for the video, Susan. Good interview, but the video freezes at 5:46 every time so I can't see the whole short program. I've tried reloading it, but it won't play past that point.
