Who's Going to Worlds?

[CoyoteChris]

shyne answered most of this already, but I'll add that the weekly pass is for seven days from the date of purchase. I know there is a senior rate for monthly passes and individual rides, but I'm not sure for the weekly pass. If you are heading from North Station back to Copley, you can take any green line train, they all go to Copley. Not sure exactly what you are asking for the Back Bay question, but the orange line has only one route so any orange line train you get on will go to the exact same stops as every other orange line train. That's why it's much less complicated than the green line. And yes, the subway entrance to North Station that is next to the garden is closed, you have to use the entrance on Causeway St. It's pretty easy to find, but it will take a couple extra minutes of walking. (I just did this two nights ago with no problem) It's fairly well marked, inside the station you only have one option for exiting and the Garden is a fairly big building so you should see it pretty easily. The exterior of the station has a huge T sign so it's pretty easy to find as well. Once you do it once you should have no problem doing it again in the future so just maybe give yourself a little extra time the first time you take the train and probably try it in the daylight.

Thanks shyne and charmblade....I went on google street view and saw the alternative entrance across the street.

It looks like a single rapid transit pass is 2.10 adult, $1.05 senior, with a weekly pass for $19, if I understand the table. It also alludes that you can buy them "on -Line" but I havent looked into how to do that....just buying a weekly pass is the HOT Ticket.
BTW, google maps doesnt show this but I think the Back Bay T station is in the Amtrac station. The Copley station is clearly marked on google maps. I am at the Westin.....

Yes, Amtrak (NE Regional line) stops at Back Bay Station as well as South Station.

Thanks to google street view, we have a pic of the entrance, on Dartmouth. Its on the West side of the Mother of All Train stations...easy peasy

Me me me! Volunteering and watching ladies/mens short and long programs. Might stay for the gala but not too sure.

Staying with my friend and sister who both luckily live in Boston so I can avoid paying for those outrageous hotels. But I would be happy if we could somehow organize a Goldenskate meet up?

I have better warn you all....you will be hooked! There is no going back......
(I wonder if this is the best attended GSer event ever?)

 

[R.D.]

Yup, have only been to shows up to this point...never imagined I'd attend a competition that wasn't the Olympics, but Worlds is close enough I suppose (with the Olys avoiding the US like the plague, this may be the best it's gonna get for a while).

 

[solar]

I've only been to shows as well. Having Worlds be my first competition is so exciting! I can rarely attend events because of school. Luckily, Worlds is right around my Spring Break If only Skate America was on the West Coast again...

I'm sorry but I don't have anything with Golden Skate logo on it. Are there products with GS logo available for purchase? This will be my first competition as well as the chance to meet up with other GS members and I would love to do so.

 

[pmidi]

Worlds is my very first competition ever. I haven"t even been to shows!

 

[solar]

I can't wait to see everyone from the forums! Haha we should all wear some kind of special hat or button that shows that we're from GS

A member, PaulE, came up with a design that he had put on a yellow (golden) ball cap.....dont know what he paid, so I am checking out the cost of custom patches we could sew onto vests, etc.

I will email PaulE and see where he got his hat. If it is already in their system, the price could be right....other than that, I am checking into on line patch makers....you send them the artwork and they send you the patches, any size you want.
If nothing else, we could pin the patches on our clothes....

I would never post pics of Doris or Mrs. P here without their permission, but they are very distinctive looking people and through them, you could hook up with the rest of us clowns.
I could also carry their pics with me and since I am super easy to find, you could hunt me down and I could show their pics to you or introduce them , with their permission, of course.
I will be the only 6'2" skinny old man with a mustache and and glasses and ball cap with a red or hi-viz motorcycle jacket there....I swear it....

Nice, I will try to find you during Worlds then! It's awesome that you've met other board members before
