Yes, men's SP and FS will be in the middle of the night here in Europe, between 2-5 AM... I prefer Asian competitions more than North Americans because it's easier to wake up at 5 AM than to stay up until 5 AM.

 

 

omg I am so stupid I was counting the time backwards, as if America evening was European lunchtime  Oh well, as many of you have pointed out, it will be impossible to sleep knowing Yuzu's skating his programs for his first competition of the season anyways, so... it probably won't be that hard to stay awake. I won't even need coffee. I just need to think "Chopin" and "Seimei" and I'm wide awake, eyes wide open, shaking a little from the excitement

I think I'll take a very short nap on Friday afternoon (I need to...I can't stay awake for 24 hours after a long week of work ), but because of the excitement and news it'll be really difficult.

One thing which will be really good is that no one will disturb me in the middle of the night, no work, no boss, no family, no phone calls

(I have to prepare myself for NHK and GPF though..NHK SP will be midday on Friday and GPF will be in similar time...)

I watched all Yuzu's competitions in Asia on my phone in a bathroom at work. Not the best place, but nobody will disturb you .

That sounds heroic to say the least

Yeah, you get to that state at 3 am where you're completely awake but you don't have the strenght to do anything but look at the computer screen and type a comment or two, MAX. 

 

And of course, I can never miss being caught by my parents at 6 am, and them doing the old "Did you go to sleep? Have you been awake all this time??" and me being "No, I mean yes, I mean go back to bed SOMEONE'S SKATING"

These are the occasions where insomnia is actually helpful.

I would be interested in buying the ticket that is for sale for the Autumn Classic a couple of posts previous.  I'm new to the group and don't know how to get in touch with the seller directly.

 

thank you! 

Are you talking about this one:

If you have FB, you can follow the link on the post and then send a msg to the seller from there. The seller posted though that she already sold her ticket to the FS, so she might only have the SP ticket remaining. 

 

If you don't have FB, I can send her a PM for you and inquire.

Both are great! The dark one is beautiful but white maybe better seen from afar.

Yes, I agree. Both great, but the Japanese flag version stands out more.

For those who might prefer to watch ACI via TV broadcast, it will be aired by TVAsahi, though only covering parts of the event. (I assume though there will be livestreaming available?)

 

Just got my canada visa approved. So what kind of meetup are we organizing?

I can try to find a restaurant and get a reservation if anyone is interested?

 

Edit: or Tim Horton's. Get the full Canadian experience.
