I had new found respect for my daughter who often does 3 or 4 events in one day (spins, freestyle, jumps, short program, couple of dances) two days in a row this weekend after I did one freestyle and two dances in one day. I was done. I met a lady who did spins, freestyle, solo dance, partner dance and interp that night! I could not do that.

OUCH Good for her

I'LL DO A BASEBALL GAME! White Sox are away that week, but the Cubbies have a 1:20 on Wednesday, if that's do-able for you? I love any baseball.

Stormy, if you and Badaxel decide to go to a Cubs game, PM me and I will help with the best transportation ideas (El!)

just a tid bit I want to share re: practice ice / music

Tim,
I am not sure about program music. I assume it will be played during the practice ice. It will not be played during the official warm-up.

Yep, that would be me! Coming from the West Coast, I'm used to it. The time change used to fall in the same week and that would really kill me. I get up at O'dark thirty to skate before work, so I'm not concerned. I like the idea of getting it over with and being able to enjoy the day.

Finally updated the schedule on the site. Am hoping to get all the vendors up soon too.

Yeah, let's go! I'm going to check who they're playing right now!

They're playing the Astros. Tickets are $24 or less, is that right? You can't even get in to Yankee Stadium for that! Anyone who wants in on the fun, PM me! Woohoo!

Thanks for all your hard work, Allison!
Do you know if there will be a detailed schedule soon, showing the official 20 minute practice ice times for each competition?
My husband is flying in on a red-eye that lands at 5:30am on the day of my7:45am Gold III Ladies competition and we're trying to figure out the suddenly complicated logistics (and yes, as one of those west coast skaters who is 2 hours behind you Chicagoans, I'm also trying to get a handle on exactly how early I'll really have to get up for that! )

I don't sorry! I know that the practicec ice chair (Erin Krentz) couldn't even start assigning practice ice until we got the final schedule, so that will be a few days at least. As for the official WU, I don't know when that will come out. But if your event is at 7:45 am, I'd bet your official WU is right at 5:30 am. So if he's flying into O'Hare, it's so closeby to the rink, have him take a cab from O'Hare.

what if you signed up to be a volunteer but are not skating?

Tickets to Cubs games aren't the easiest things to come across...I doubt you'll be able to find them for face value.

Les Ascher should contact you if you already signed up.

Cubs tickets can be bought at http://www.stubhub.com for not too much more over face value. I've bought through them before with no problems. Seeing a game at Wrigley Field is awesome.

Might I also suggest getting tickets for The Second City's current production of "Between Barack and a Hard Place." Second City is where all the great improv comedians of past have gotten their start: Chevy Chase, Jon Belushi, Gilda Radner, Stephen Colbert, etc. Their new show has gotten rave reviews, and it's just blocks from the Sedgwick stop on the Brown Line.
http://www.secondcity.com/

It may be easier to get tickets for Weds afternoon game (since they aren't playing the Sox or Cards) on the website. Also, the players' tickets get returned on the previous Friday and are released to the Cubs website as available, so if you can't get tickets now, check the Friday before.

Thanks, Allison, I'll tell him. Hmm, that's 3:30am L.A. time. . .Ohhh boy!

Updates have been made to the Travel section (to add Cubs/Sox/other links) and the Vendor page, listing our vendors and silent auction items. If you have additional items to donate for the auction, contact Nancy Ares (email on the site).

I guess we wont be out drinking late Tuesday night

Hi, everyone--
I had reserved a room at the Comfort Suites in Lombard, IL (arrive 4/9, check out 4/14) using the AN "LSKATE" room block rate of $74/night plus tax, but I think I'll be staying at the hotel my cousin works at in Oak Park, for a lower rate.

Before I cancel my Comfort Suites reservation, I thought I'd see if anyone else is interested in getting a room at the Comfort Suties for the room block rate. The room block is over, but I spoke on the phone with someone at the hotel, and it's possible to change the name and credit card info on the reservation (and also the days of the stay) and keep the same rate instead of the higher regular rate.

PM me if you're interested.

Does anyone know when the Adult Nationals practice ice schedule will be out?

Thanks, again, for manipulating my thread...very much appreciated!

You're welcome!

The "LINKS" page on the adult nationals website gives a contact for practice ice. Maybe she's working on the schedule?
