Oh, I had the impression there's a show in February (the one people say Ilia will be in also) and a different one in March (the Yuzuru one).

Just caught up with the men! Congrats to Jason for winning the Silver medal with a Golden performance and to quote the iconic Dick Button, he was “simply the best”.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Someone else may know about that. The March ones are probably more of a challenge because of the timing.

Then he's doing SOI Japan beginning March 30! That's after Worlds, but only a couple of days. A lot going on for him in Japan!
I need to say how proud I am of Jason that he was able to do so well at Nationals! It was emotional seeing the support he had from the audience. Not surprising, but still emotional. I was prepared for this to be his last hurrah competitively so I'm having a hard time getting my head around the idea that he's going to Worlds. Congrats, Jason, you're awesome!
Here are the events Jason is scheduled for over the winter (that I can recall):
Art on Ice (Switzerland) February 2-12
Notte Stellata (Japan) March 10-12
World Championships (Japan) March 20-26
Stars on Ice (Japan) March 31 - April 9
World Team Trophy (Japan) April 13-16*
Stars on Ice (Canada) April 28 - May 18
Stars on Ice (USA) May 20 - June 4
*Not confirmed but we all know how much Jason loves competing at WTT

Having watched him at SOI last April, it was clear that he skated those shows like he was competing. He gave each skate his all. That kept him in good shape and continues to do so. He keeps pushing the envelope.
Wow!
I think he'll continue next season. Based on what he said, he left the possibility open for next Olympics depending on how he feels. He wants to keep competing but mixed with shows, so his training will be structured differently. He'll compete but in a more chill way if that makes sense.
That's what I got from the interviews. He feels good physically and he's doing it for the love of competing, that is still alive in him even after reaching his ultimate goal of going to the Olympics, and not for results. So he wants to mix both: shows and competition.
If anyone is going to be in NYC on Monday, May 8th, Jason will be honored (and I assume performing) by ITNY along with Rohene. I bought my ticket already to the performance as I assume it might sell out, given Jason's popularity post Nationals.
Since I'm not sure if SOI is going to be headed to the tri-state area this year, this might be my only chance to watch Jason skate live this year. (Why are they doing 4 dates in CA but so few on the east coast?)
ETA: if you want to drop 2 grand, you will be able to sit at Jason's table at the gala dinner. Nice to be rich, lol.

Is Deniss at the Art on Ice in Switzerland, I wonder? I'd love to see Jason and Deniss working/skating together

I bet his parents will be at the table if there's room. It could be a really fun table!

Yes, he was added to the cast later, I have seen photos of him there.
I don't believe he and Jason have performed in a show together, this could be wonderful.

If anyone can access YouTube, Jason has a video where he explains his training process. He kept it up during SOI as much as he was able. Having seen it, there's no wonder he was so prepared for competition again. I've been to several National and World competitions and I honestly don't remember any skater getting the homage that the fans paid Jason this year. I believe it was Johnny Weir who said "when Jason skates it's a Master Class!" True that!
