Maybe May. If we are lucky.
In fact let's just get it all over with right here:
East
West
Lake Placid no airport
Mid-West shuttles
14 hours driving 8 hour flight, 2 trains, 5 hour bus ride
Reading Sarasota Providence
:lynch Portland :lynch Detroit San Jose
I have an empty lot in Snow Hill Maryland they can have it in. No hotels or airport. Who needs those if no-one will go after all the Worlds

I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.

When I'm old, I don't want them to say of me, "She's so charming." I want them to say, "Be careful, I think she's armed."

The announcement gets later and later every year. No city seems to want SA. It's so early in the season that the skaters aren't ready for prime time yet. And then there are the last-minute withdrawals.

I heard the announcement could be made "soon."

I would love it if SA would just cater to my every needs. Then it could stop all this
nonsense, as the only person it would have to please would be me. Hear that IJS--start kowtowing to me or I will type very angrily in your general direction and cast aspersions on your intelligence and sexual proclivities of your ancestors.

And have you read the RFP from USFSA? No wonder no one wants it. They want to be treated as if they were bringing the Super Bowl to town LOL Originally Posted by euterpe

With US Nationals in Boston, it sadly won't be Providence, or my skating tickets budget is going to explode next year.

Is it a certainty though that it'll be the first GP competition ?
Seeing as the GPF is in JPN, I'm afraid they might mix it up to not let the NHK competitors suffer,
Afraid because i'll be in north america from sep - nov only

With US Nats in Boston, I was thinking maybe not east coast this year, I ceretainly can't afford two comps or two weeks off.

^ 2009 Worlds was in Los Angeles, and 2011 Skate America was in Ontario, very close to Los Angeles.
Skate America has been on the West Coast for the past 3 years, so if the above rumor is true, seems to make sense that it'd be the East Coast's turn this year.
