Jason Brown

Too bad that Max Settlage is not going to Four Continents too ... to give us more illustrations of Jason and himself literally immersed in the bread bowl and such.

The whole post is hilarious. Thank you for posting the link.

Dude, no.

LOLOLOL.

The costume of TandIsolda is very sophisticated but inusual in the World of the Skating. Jason is very handsom and has a very nice bones structure he can wear this costume too. It1s a very intellectual costume.

It also, at least from I could see at Nationals, has raw seams in the tunic. I was like, dude,

There's so much wrong with that costume it's like a Glamour MegaDon't. With Sparkles!!!

Oy.

As I said, I didn't think it was THAT bad. But then again, perhaps you really shouldn't listen to someone who basically lives on tunics and/or skirts and dark leggings. (i.e. I only have one piece of "maternity" wear (a pair a jeans someone gave me) and refuse to spend any more money on such things.)

I love Max Settelage's drawings. They're so cute! USFSA should hire him as Official Cartoonist or something.

I was hoping to get Max and Maddie and Max and Friends go to Worlds but...ah well, next year.

Cartoon Jason in the breadbowl is possibly the most Jason thing that ever Jason'd.

Quoting myself from the 4CC Wishes thread:

My wish is for Max Settlage to be invited to chronicle the adventures of Jason and Josh in Seoul.

No Max S. on this trip but Jason has tweeted an update of the adventures of Jason and Josh:

Jason and Josh arrive in Seoul

Great minds ... I hadn't seen your post in the other thread.

Max's bread-bowl illustration popped into my head b/c karne mentioned above that Jason's always enjoyable blogging has tended to include references to food .
Although Max's Nebelhorn series mostly was a separate endeavor unrelated to Jason's reports from Obertsdorf, Max was inspired to depict the bread-bowl scene because of Jason's words:

My favorite part of most European breakfasts is that there is always bread! Here in Oberstdorf, our hotel has the most ginormous bread bowl I have ever seen, filled with every sort of bread you could think of. I'm in love with the pretzel bread rolls.

(Ginormous was no exaggeration, as we can see from Max's photo/illustration :shocked:.)

ETA, when it comes to having good food on the brain, Jason of course has plenty of good company among other skaters (and among other ppl in general) :

Anyway, we'll miss Max S. (and Max A. and Maddie), but the cuteness overload from photos of Josh and Jason already has commenced :yes:. As have the photos of food from Jason, Kori, the Shibutanis .....

Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute.

Although it being one of the first pictures I saw after I woke up didn't exactly do anything to encourage me to get out of bed.

Is anyone else a bit :shocked: about how LATE Team USA is getting to Korea?! It's now Tuesday on this side of the world, and the men compete on Thursday. Team Australia had less distance to go and have been there already for a couple of days! Are they going to be over their jet lag in time?

 

[katmari]

Agreed.

I too loved Max S's Nebelhorn drawings. I don't wear fan gear, but I might be tempted to buy something if it was one of Max's illustrations.

Actually Haven Denny/Brandon Frazier, was the first athletes to arrive, per this ISU tweet: https://twitter.com/ISU_Reporter/status/564377186279247872

The tweet, was about 8 p.m. local time Sunday, so they likely arrived sometime that day or late Saturday. Shibutanis also arrived to Seoul on Sunday, though later that evening.

But yes, everyone else does seem to be pushing it. If the photo that Jason tweeting is close to the time (probably was posted later, I'm guess), then he got to Korea late Monday night.

But they're old hats at this, they should be ok.

ETA: Also jetlag after coming to Korea is WAY easier than coming back from Korea, IMO. When I traveled to Korea a few years back, I remember being tired when I got there, but it just felt like a big long day, while going back all time was compressed so it really messed with my head.

:agree: Great idea, katmari. You should suggest it to Max S., whose website seems to indicate that he is open to any funding opportunities.

What's really terrible is the travel nightmare that DSC dancers and pair skaters from Teams USA/Canada/Japan endured yesterday as they tried to depart for Four Continents.
They were stuck onboard a plane at the Detroit airport for five hours before the flight eventually got cancelled.
They tried again today, and I believe they now are in the air on their new flight, thank goodness.

I've been watching wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much Project Runway! :hopelessness:

Didn't someone say Jason is doing a blog for IN's coverage of 4CC? I've been on the IN site and can't find it (but then I find their site an Unholy Mess since its last redesign).

 

[knghcm]

Was Jason the highest scoring man coming into US nationals this year and last year? I think so but could somebody else confirm that?

Jason has barely landed in Seoul -- and as seen in the photo with their luggage, Josh and he were exhausted when they landed -- so I think it's too early to expect the first installment of Jason's Four Continents blogging. He had tweeted about his upcoming IN blog as something for which we should stay tuned (and not as something that was ready for immediate consumption).

Not as far as season's best. Basically Max Aaron had the highest season's best score (240.22). Jason was third (237.17), just a hair below Richard Dornbush (237.28)

He had the second highest FS score (159.24), again behind Max (161.26.)

He did have highest SP score (83.59) this season.

Last year he had the highest SP and overall score (243.09) coming into Nationals. He had the third highest FS (158.32), behind Max Aaron (162.45) and Adam Rippon (160.98).

Ah. Patience is apparently not my virtue. Thanks for letting me know. I have just always enjoyed his blogs. They're such warm and sunny reads (and warm and sunny are even more appreciated than ever in February).

Maybe where you are, WA.

It's like 54 degrees here in Washington state. Time for a nice iced coffee. (decaf, of course).

If it makes you feel better, one of the pics of him and Kori on the plane he clearly had his laptop out, and from past experience of his blogs he was probably writing the first part then. I'd say we can expect it tonight or tomorrow.

Now this is an interesting development...

Now this is an interesting development...

I just saw this too! This is shaping up to be a really exciting 4CC :shockedthere goes my sleeping time...)

Now this is an interesting development...

It's as good a time as any to try it for the first time. Goo Jason!
