Attention, all Boston folks:

The U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships are being held in Lowell, MA next weekend at the Tsongas Arena. If you would like to see me skate, the Adult competition block is on *Saturday* from 1:09 to 2:24 pm. A Saturday day pass is $20 and lets you see the Masters championship, Adult championship (that's us), Collegiate championship, and Senior free skate. Senior is the highest level and the most elite skaters-- the level equivalent of the singles and pairs skaters you see on TV. If you come, please come and sit with Team del Sol! We're very friendly and don't bite. Look for the navy blue and red jackets with "Team del Sol" on the back. You can buy tickets at the door, I believe.

As per this article, the Collegiate and Senior championships will be broadcast on Comcast Network's CN8 channel in the New England and Mid-Atlantic area on Sunday, March 6, at 9 p.m. EST, with a replay on Sunday, March 27, from 12-2 p.m. EST. At some point, there will also be a webcast of those divisions on the CN8 website, possibly at the same time it's on TV. I will let y'all know when I find that out. The USFSA is also doing a live webcast of all the other divisions, but it's more expensive than actually *going* to the competition. Lifetime will *not* be broadcasting Nationals or Worlds this year.

And...that's about it. We have one more practice on Tuesday, but the Seniors are leaving for Lowell tomorrow so we won't have our five double-skaters practicing with us. At this point I'm hoping for top six, and I think fourth is about the absolute best we can do. Whatever happens, I'm going to skate my best and enjoy every second.

We'll be there Caitlin and we can't wait! We can actually sit with you that day? Argh! Email us details with when you're in town too and when we should get to the arena to sit with you all and cheer! Can we at least squeeze dinner in that with you that night?

I'm glad you're coming! Just arrive sometime before we skate-- the Masters competition is before us, so you could watch that too. I won't have any email access while I'm there. I don't know about dinner; my mom is going to be up as well, plus my team might be having a dinner. I imagine I'll know on Saturday!
