Johnny has been invited to do an on-camera appearance at Worlds during a break in the Ladies SP, discussing what has happened to that point in that event. He
will be here in LA for about 48 hours. He is being so brave to come out here for this! It was a very hard decision for him to make, as I'm sure we all can
imagine. Patti wanted to be sure that all of the Angels knew about this so that they could watch for him!

Wow....what a guy! It will be easier for me to watch the ladies event, anyway, because the men's competition without Johnny is killing me. I'm glad
he's doing it and he is brave! It will be hard for him to be there..and yet not be there. But Johnny has such a wonderful optimistic outlook, I'm sure
he'll do fine. I can't wait to see it!

Great news, Kristina - thanks for telling us!
 It certainly
is brave of him to do it - I'm sure it must be hard for him to watch Evan, Jeremy and Brandon compete from the sidelines.

If it's during the Ladies short that means it'll be on Oxygen...now I really wish I got that network! There will be vids, I hope.

Well, this sounds pretty nice. I'll stay tuned to when the Ladies SP comes on TV. It'll be good to hear how Johnny is doing.

I am so excited to hear this. Since I live in LA about 20 minutes from Staples Center and all the festivities at World's, I signed up many months ago as a
volunteer. I knew it would be a a great chance to see all the skaters and coaches plus we get to go to some of the practice sessions and are given tickets to
some events. Since I am stationed a couple of days at Staples and the other days at the hotel where most of them are staying, I was sure I would see Johnny at
one place or the other.
After Nationals, I thought it would still be fun, but certainly not the same without Johnny. I am so glad he will be here and I definitely will have my eyes open aroud the time of the Ladies SP. At volunteer orientaton last weekend, several people expressed their disappointment that he would not be there but I'm sure the word will get out. I think he is terrifc to come and he will get a very warm welcome from all of us During our orientation, Randy Gardiner popped in to say hello to everyone and stayed to talk to people for a while, so the fun has already begun. |

That's so brave of Johnny, I can hardly imagine how difficult it may be for him going there. Thanks for letting us know, Kristina and Patti!

Thanks for this news, Kristina and Patti!
I think it`s very hard for him to go to LA. But if he decided to do this it means that it`ll be right. My interest to Worlds increased and I am glad that I`ll be able to watch for him if russian TV will show him. I hope he`ll get good money for this work. |

Thank you, Patti, for notifying the Angels and thank you too, Kristina, to pass along the info!
So nice of Johnny going to LA! He certainly has strenght in his character and shows great sportsmanship by this move! I hope his Angels will have a chance to see and meet him! Everyone, have a great time! |

Thank you for telling us about it ! I'm very glad Johnny will be on TV !! If I imagine Johnny's feeling for this, it can be complicated, but on the other hand he may be more optimist than I imagine. ( I hope ) I will definitely record it and I'm very looking forward to seeing him in it, what he will talk about ladies skating during the time. I wonder that Patti also will be there with him ? |

Patti is sweet for letting us all know. I feel like a dork, because I've been giddy about the news since I read it yesterday. I'm attended all the
events and practices, and although I still don't expect to meet him as its a big stadium and he'll probably be at Worlds only briefly, just the
possibility of bumping into him (I've never met him before. He hasn't done a show in CA for ages) would be
like... much too awesome for words. My Worlds experience would be complete.
Will anyone else here be at Worlds? I haven't seen a "Who's going?" thread. |

Patti will not be here with him.
 He will be pretty busy here in
LA, with his agent having set up some meetings for him.

WOW Patti what a wonderful
opportunity for you to take advantage of!!!! I'm sure you'll have all sorts of chances to see the skaters and the behind the scenes things. What a
terrific chance to experience it from the inside out so to speak. I sure hope you get to see Johnny especially as well. Good luck and I'm sure you will
have a wonderful time. I was surprised to hear you will be volunteering at the hotel as well. Do you know what you will be doing at the different venues or is
it an assigned as you get there sort of thing?

I have been assigned to Transportation. We are stationed at the hotel and also at Staples Center to help the skaters and coaches get back and forth for their
pracices and events. There is always one person from our group on the vans so nobody gets lost, confused etc. There is another group that runs the shuttles
from LAX as well as a couple of cars and vans that are there for emergencies. Sunday and Tuesday I am at Staples from 2 pm until 8 pm and on Monday and
Wednesday I am at the Willshire Grand during the same hours. We had some training last weekend so hopefully we will know what we are doing. It is all amazingly
well organized. I think it will be really interesting and a lot of fun. If anyone is going to any events, stop by Transportation during my hours and say hi!
I hope Johnny is staying at the Wilshire Grand but I know that it is very booked already and that his being here was a bit last minute so I don't know about that, plus he is going to be busy here per Kristina. I will be watching for him especially on Friday which is Ladies SP and a day when I have tickets and no work!

I was also asked to volunteer. They wrote to me to see if I could volunteer on the exclusive team do to my back ground in skating.
They basically wanted me to fill in at the rinks for volunteers that did not show up for there assignments. I have volunteered for Nationals before plus I was a coach for many years. That's too bad Johnny won't be at the men's events. I am a big supporter of him. Although I do understand why he won't be there. |
