I've been a long time figure skating fan. A friend of mine from the ISU texted me today to say Jason is giving a free concert at the US National Figure Skating Championships this weekend. Here's what I found:
Spokane Victory Ceremonies
In true Olympic style, all medalists at the Championships will be heralded to the entire community of Spokane at a public ceremony taking place at FanFest. Come be part of the excitement!
Sat. Jan 16, 6:00PM Championship Pairs, followed by a live performance by American Idol finalist Jason Castro

If anyone gets universal sports, they may show a blip on there. They show alot of the figure skating championships that aren't on NBC. NBC barely shows any of the skaters anymore (sadly!)
Anyone who wants to see a true artist on the ice (like Jason is an artist) then look for Johnny Weir. Off the ice, he's outlandish, outspoken, and unpredictable. His personality reminds me of Danny Noriega! But on the ice, he's like liquid gold .....

Such an artistic skater, though sometimes he is pure perfection, and other times, he just totally chokes.  Couldn't find a falling skater smilie. I used to watch a lot of figure skating, but have been too busy. I hope I can find those championships on TV somewhere. |

I love figure skating, too, so I'll be checking the TV schedule for this event. And I'm so glad Jason will be performing at the ceremonies! What a treat that will be for him and the skaters. I know there are always lots of video cameras at skating competitions, so maybe someone will get his set up on YouTube.

No tweets from Jason about it today? It's like a big secret or something. :-)
On a side note, we just watched my husband's favorite running movie, "St. Ralph". Right at the crux of the movie, they play Hallelujah. It's a wonderful inspirational movie (centered around the Boston Marathon in the 50's), although some scenes are a bit explicit.

So if anyone saw twitter 2night, Lakendra & I tried to make up for the false alarm... of this broadcast...
I told Lakendra I would sink with the ship & listen to the station for awhile to see if there would be a taped interview at least.
Between 6 & 7 they played an ad for Ingrid Michaelson who is playing tomorrow night.
Then, well after the concert that ran from 6-7, they played an ad for Jason's performance after it happened... but it was nice to hear "Let's Just Fall in Love Again" snippets.
That's all I have to report so far. Maybe they might have something on the website later this week...

I used to watch a lot of figure skating, but have been too busy. I hope I can find those championships on TV somewhere. Violet, if you like Johnny, his reality show kicks off Monday (1/18) on the Sundance Channel with his "Popstar on Ice" movie and then 8 thirty minute episodes weekly after that. If anyone likes Danny Noriega, you will love this. I'm disappointed NBC didn't show the men's SP on their broadcast Saturday. Here's Johnny's SP. And if you like Johnny, you'll love Adam Rippon, who is a younger, better version of Johnny and not quite as outlandish off the ice. Men's Freeskate is on Sunday afternoon on NBC (4:30 - 6:00 pm ET) Johnny SP: Adam SP: Jason singing in Spokane: Jason said on twitter / JCM that Spokane was a blast. I thought his live performance would be in the rink ... but apparently it was outside. Isn't it cold in Spokane this time of year?

overstrung - "sinking ship" haha, the intentions were the best, just glad I went to bed early and didn't waste my time. Wasting my time in search of a Jason broadcast? NEVER! They played the commercial for his concert every hour on the half hour the whole night! haha. so I did hear him every hour. Lakendra & I had our own little twitter party, it was pretty hysterical. When she said Hey Soul Sister, I'm goin to bed, it was the song on the radio, & I was crackin up. Then later when I was looking at the Train cd I got at the radio event, & that song was on there... I think I must have woken her up with that LOL! |

Every time he sings, it is like the first time. He puts so much of himself into it.
