Y’all. If you haven’t ever been to a live skating event I encourage you to do so. You never know what will happen. You can see a lot even from the cheap seats.

I believe my ticket has been scanned or I would give it away.

Anybody wanting to spend the next 2,5 hours with exihibition programs and can't do it with Nationals Gala, let's (re)watch Fantasy on Ice from last summer :biggrin:

There's a thread where we could collect the live comments? :)

Do you happen to have a list of who was in the gala?
Still ongoing so I’m not sure yet. I believe they typically invite all senior medalists and the junior champions. So far, additions to that:

Sonja Hilmer
Sam Mindra
Kirk Haugeto (sp?)
Jimmy Ma
Polina Edmunds

Junior dance winners have not performed so I’m guessing they went home or didn’t want to risk it.

From senior pairs, we only got C/H and K/F.

Anyone else scoping out hotels for next year? I have a friend in the area with seasons tickets to the hockey games. Which is to say she knows the area well.

Not yet- I need to look at prices to see if it’s feasible. I’d be happy to hear about recommendations, though!

After 25-30 comps, I wou,d suggest y'all request a place to talk about the comp NOW. Just saying. Logistics can make or break the fun of a comp. And you can cancel most motel arrangements and change. As prof Harold Hill might say. "You have to know the territory"

A Diet Coke is less than 50% what it was in the arena. I never thought I’d be happy to see one at 3.25.
