Jeff returned to Japan to celebrate the launch of his book as well as sign copies for fans. It was a big success with jeff signing hundreds of copies. Check out some photos from the signing.

Following his return to the States, Jeff performed in Improv-Ice in Anaheim. The show's concept had skaters drawing their music selections at the venue with only two hours to come up with choreography for both. Jeff's first was to "Come On Get Higher" by Matt Nathanson and his second was to "Black Balloon" performed live by the Goo Goo Dolls. The show will air December 25th on NBC from 3-5pm EST. Photos from the show can be seen in the gallery.

Good news for Jeff's overseas fans - you can now order copies of Jeff's photo book. The book is available from Amazon Japan. Their site is available partially in English. This is the page for the book. It's a bit tricky to navigate with only partial English translations but if you compare to the US Amazon.com you can figure out some of the button translations. The main point is that they ship overseas! (thanks to Asako for the information).

Jeff competed in the Japan Open, which took place on October 3, 2009.? The format was a team competition with each skater performing an ISU LP.? Jeff skated for team North America, and came in 2nd to Stephane Lambiel amongst the men's field.? Jeff's score for his LP was 142.26.? He skated his David Wilson choreographed program to "Eclogue", and Team NA finished second overall to Team Europe. Jeff's LP is up on YouTube (though it may not last long.

Also in September, Jeff performed at the Ice Champions Live show that is a benefit for the Michael Weiss Foundation that gives scholarships to upcoming skaters. He skated his "Eclogue" long program and got a great crowd response. Photos from the show are in the gallery.
