I went to the premiere in New York and it was great! When we picked up our tickets at a building across from the theatre, we had a chance to talk to the film makers, James and David. We congratulated them on creating such a wonderful film that is getting rave reviews everywhere. They thanked US for coming to it.

We got to the theatre early to see Johnny arrive in a Bentley. The first car to pull up had his mom Patti, aunt Diane, and friend Paris Childers. Then Johnny arrived with his agent, Tara, and a reporter from NBC. I was standing just a few feet from the curb and when Johnny walked forward (right after I took the picture of him with Tara) - he stopped and gave me a hug before entering the theatre lobby for a photo shoot with lots of media photographers.

Pictures from POI in NYC You'll see much better photos posted elsewhere because I was standing to the side and could not get a direct shot. It was so exciting to be there, and to talk to Johnny and his family. Johnny truly looked like a Pop Star - just gorgeous, and beaming. What a happy occasion this was.

As you've all heard from others, the film is just awesome and I can't wait to own it myself. David told me it will be out on DVD in the fall, after it airs on the Sundance channel I think. What is in the film is pure Johnny - being himself as always, but training hard and clowning around like most of us never see. Parts of his programs are shown but that is really not what this film is about - it is not a collection of his competitive programs. It is about Johnny's struggles with adhering to the training regimen and restrictions required by the sport, his need to freely express himself and the challenges created by those two opposing forces. Johnny narrates it throughout so you get to listen to him talk about events described or shown.

The film does not show him shopping, or at Starbucks, or going out to dinner in NYC or partying with friends, it stays focused on his skating. But it does show reactions from his many fans all over the world including several shots of our Johnny's Angels banner. So angels, we must keep up the good work, because there is more competing ahead and more filming to be done. David and James will continue to follow Johnny through next spring.

We went to the party after the film but it was too dark inside for any pictures to come out - IceNetwork, LifeSkate and NBC may post some photos from it though.

What a wonderful night - I'm so glad I could be there. GO JOHNNY !!
