Are you going to be at Skate America or Nationals? If so, I’ll be looking forward to meeting you!

Twinsies! For me, the most exciting part of the event came when my other favorite lady skater, Angela Nikodinov, won the women's competition. Single Axel and all! I bought tickets to the following year's Skate America while in Pittsburgh (back in the day when we knew the location of the event...

2004 Skate America was the first ever skating competition I attended. It also the first time as an adult that I booked my own travel arrangements, bought tickets, etc. I was a sophomore in college and had midterms that week. Luckily I was able to convince two of my professors to let me take my...

The Magnolia hotel is a solid choice. Clean and comfortable. It is also within a short walk to Washington Avenue where you'll find a lot of great food options. And, as you stated, very close to the MetroLink. It will only be about a five minute ride from that spot to the Enterprise Center. I...

It is. I go to hockey games there all the time. It’s a nice, modern arena. I’m not too cold at hockey games, but a skating event may be different? Hopefully it’ll be warmer than Columbus and Allen (Skate America). ??

I live in St. Louis and we have quick nonstop flight via Southwest to Wichita, so I decided to make a Friday to Monday trip out of it. I’m already going to Boston and spent a small fortune on those tickets. I was going to do the weekend package, but then the twenty-five percent discount changed...

Hey Everyone! I am a new member here and first time poster. I will be attending nationals this year and was wondering if the members here organize any type of get together at some point during the week. Back in the day I was a member of the MKF and always looked forward to meeting the other...
