iPhone Finesse is lacking. How can I remember the costume changes, mandatory tasks and how to film with my iPhone! I ask you! Today I remembered to bring my cell phone into the arena. I put all my costumes in place in the front end of arena and Swan Lake blue tarp at far end of arena. I mounted Fancy wearing my witch hat, warmed up and practiced leg yields.
