Hi Welcome,
Please remember to post 'live' reports for those of us who are not fortunate enough to attend 'live'. It is always great to hear a different perspective from watching live than from a square TV screen.
Thank you in advance!!!
To everyone that is going (very jealous!!)-

The Fan Fest has free admission.
I took a very quick swing through today.
I think the Bridgestone Performance Review events will take place there. Mini-stage was set up with rows of chairs in front.
Some activities seem targeted at kids (or "kids at heart"
). A table for making art (IIRC); another one for temporary tattoos or something like that.One table was for writing notes to individual competitors ... I might go back and write a couple. Hope they actually will get delivered.

I saw Nathan at unofficial practice on Wednesday.
From what I could observe of his interactions with others (mom, trainer, fellow skaters, etc.), he seems like a very down-to-earth and nice guy.
Even gave me a friendly nod on his way out although I had not attempted to speak to him (wanted to give him his space).

Waiting in line to get autographs... I think I'm not going to get any because the line is too long, but it's worth a shot right?
I think I saw you cheerknithanson; are we allowed to say hi or is that still a no go?

Phew! They cut the line at the family after me. Got a ton of autographs... Ashley, Karen, Bradie, shibs, parsons, and kaitlyn/jean luc. All very sweet and I got a chance to wish bradie good luck.

For practice it's fine. They only check your tickets not your bag so outside food was fine the 1st two days. But for the event while entering the building they announced no outside food, cameras and backpacks. Don't know why they waited until then to let people know.

Stupid (but serious) question about the etiquette of autograph sessions:
I made my way to the autograph area when it was very close to the scheduled endpoint of the session.
In an attempt to make the line move faster, Sora already was telling people to stop shooting photos with the skaters.
Before I showed up, I had been clinging to a feeble hope that maybe a couple of non-U.S. skaters would be included (such as Satoko :luv17
.
Was slightly disappointed (but not surprised) to see only U.S. skaters.
So ... the thing is that I do like all the U.S. skaters, but to save both their time and mine, today I would have been perfectly happy to skip all but the three skaters who have my very best wishes.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a polite/respectful way to "offer" to skip some of the skaters???
I foresee having the same issue at Sunday's autograph session.
I couldn't think of a solution today -- so I abandoned the ladies/dance line altogether.
(Happy to say that I lucked out and had separate chances [not at the autograph table] to speak to the three of greatest interest to me.)

Interesting! Do they make you go in an assembly line through all the skaters? I could see how that could be very awkward. I would probably not be able to skip in that case since I would be afraid it would come off as being dismissive, or perhaps throwing off the flow of the line.
I could see if you appeared with full Satoko gear from head to toe or perhaps draped yourself in a Japanese flag the skaters would see that you are a superfan and would not feel bad about you skipping.
