I'll be there the whole week from the 8-16th but probably won't make it to any practices until the 9th due to flight times, etc.

I will be there starting on the 8th up til the 16th. I am a volunteer though so I will be out and about for those first four days with my working shifts. After that, I hope I get to meet some of you there!! I am really excited about it.

I'll be taking the Greyhound up there and arriving on the 8th in the morning. I'm not sure where I will be staying, but it will probably be a hostel.

Probably. They might section off some space for coaches. They did in Atlanta- I got the impression some of the coaches felt a little like fans were eavesdropping or looking over their shoulders. You gotta give the coaches/skaters a little space, but otherwise, yes, sit anywhere.
There usually aren't that many of us at practices. Some people like to sit in their assigned seats, get used to the perspective. Others pick another spot; many like to sit by the skaters' entryway/staging area.

 

[2ndmark]

I will admit it. I am bitterly jealous of ALL of you who will be there!!
Okay, not so much... but I do already have tickets for 2006 in St. Louis!
