Ok since we got a bit off track in the other meet up thread...

I'm looking at the schedule provided here: http://www.xcelenergycenter.com/uploads/assets/saintpaul2008/event/SP2008_revisedschedule121907.pdf

And then looking through everyone's posts on when they're getting into St. Paul I *think* Thursday could work.

It's going to be tough because once the Senior events start up in earnest there's really no time to even breathe!

But They clear the arena after the Senior Dance OD and before the Senior Ladies SP the OD is supposed to end by 7pm they're going to clear the arena and resurface the ice happens at 7:10 the ladies SP starts at 7:30

so barring any complications where we have the OD running long we'd have roughly 20 minutes (giving 5 mins on each side for getting to and from our seats) to meet up and talk about the events.

This does not mean we can't meet up at other times, but I was thinking a large meet up could happen there at the Excel? What say you all? :laugh: (can you tell I haven't had a lot of human contact outside of the internet this week?)

Edited with most up to date 'plans' (01/10/08)

Meet up by the official USFSA booth out in the lobby during the arena clearing (between 7pm & 730)

Wear something Yellow, so that we will be able to spot everyone.

I will try to have a sign that says something "Golden Skate Forum Meet Here"

Also - we got a group photo in 2006 and then I posted it on the forum to make the other members jealous that they weren't having all the fun we were ;) I'd like to do that again this time be it my camera or someone elses (we had a State Farm photographer take it last time)
 
I'm in! I'll see you all there. Where are we meeting and how do we know who we all are? Should we have signs, secret handshakes etc.?
 
Well, last time I was involved with a meet up I had a "Golden Skate Forum" sign that we held up waiting for others to meet. We picked the spot after most of us were at teh arena (Joesitz was pretty much the organizer in 2006 with the meet up lol he is better at it than I am)

but let's try and meet by the USFSA booth in the lobby (they have one there every year so that's our best bet)

Should we wear something puce?
 
Yes, we wore yellow because it is not a winter color and the strangers would be recognized easily. As for puce, I haven't a clue what it is except it is in the red family. ;)

Maybe we should make yellow the "official" GS Meet Up Color?
 
I don't really own anything yellow but I'll be with Toni so look for the girl with the long blonde hair next to the girl with the GS sign and that will be me, LOL :laugh:

:laugh: at least you didn't say you would be standing next to the DORK holding the sign, cuz that's what I'll feel like ;)
 
I decided last minute to attend Nationals. I have hard time finding a hotel room at a decent price .
As I was looking the Michelle Kwan board, I saw in the " 2008 US figure skating" section of the board, a poster by the name MichelynB, who is willing to name change the room she is holding, at Holiday inn. I need that room. I signed inn, but I guess it takes some time to be accepted. I am afraid, it will be too late for me, if I have to wait one more day to reply to her post. Can you guys get in touch with her, Via PM, and let her know I am very much interested?
I will appreciate it.
Thanks
 
Alright, I have a sign that I am taking down... it says "Golden Skate Meet Up" so look for it!
 
I'll be in whatever fits and is comfortable.....sorry to be a bummer folks :)

OT - anyone interested in the MN Science Museum? I'm planning to visit on Friday...I think it's Friday...gotta check my tickets.
