College Night 2006

[Freddy Schurr]

Inspire by Erin R, borrow from last year's thread

Hey!

I'm surprised that there was no mention of having a College Night in Atlanta this year. I have an idea... how about Thursday night @ 7pm all us CD addict college kids meet at the Hard Rock Cafe? Let me know if you're in by emailing me at Nomads2009@aol.com or post in this thread.

Come College Students!

[Dylan]

Sounds cool! :)
You do know that the legal drinking age there is 21, right?

[Kel D]

You should make it a formal dinner, that would be fun ;) Who says there has to be drinking? I personally would rather eat, haha. Sounds like fun to me!

[Greg Needel]

typically we always have sugested a resturant but unfortunatly because of the number of teams it has always proven to be impossible to get reservations without putting a deposit down. A good solution we have done in the past couple years is picked a night (like thursday or friday) and met in the food court of the cnn center. That way we can have as many people as we want, age isn't an issue, and when we get loud people don't get upset.

[Freddy Schurr]

Yeah, thats a good idea.

Sign up if you are interesting!

College Night 2006- The Championship Event

I agree, I just thought that the Hard Rock Cafe was more of a bar/club than a resturaunt (yea, I don't know what I'm talking about :p ).

CNN Center sounds great, count me in!
Thursday, right?

[Freddy Schurr]

I think Thursday night would be great!

[RoboMadi]

Is it this cafe? (http://www.hardrock.com/locations/cafes/Cafes.aspx?Lc=ATLA)

If yes.....count me in. I would love to meet new people and have some fun. Thanks

[Elgin Clock]

Yes, if you get lost, on the RIGHT of that intersection is Hooters, and right behind where that photographer is standing is one of the many entrances of the Westin Peachtree Plaza (and that's not easy to miss, cause it's shaped like a huge cylinder).

I would tend to go with Greg's suggestion being part of College night in 2004.

A) You will not be able to get an accurate count of people in time for the thing to take place cause people will add/drop all month long right up until you go.
B) The CNN Food court is way large enough to hold a bunch of people together, or a small group.
C) Food in that place is cheap (Fast food like Chik-Fil-A) compared to the HRC, and other places.
D) College students need cheap food, so see "C". lol
E) It closes late, and when you get kicked out, you can just hang in the lobby of the Omni, as long as you are relatively quiet (as we did in 2004).
F) It's close to the venue, and really easy to find.

If this is going on, I'm sure I'll drop in since I'm staying at the Omni.

[Jeremiah Johnson]

This makes me sad that I'm not going to the Championship. I get to miss all this fun. Next year I will go, with or without my team! I could go now but... I don't feel like taking another week off of working at McDonalds... blickakhdgakldgakjgd!!

[Freddy Schurr]

New Details, Thursday Night, 7:00 to 10:00, Food Court at CNN Center!

PLEASE EMAIL ME AT Nomads2009@aol.com if you are going, I need to know how many are going and who is going.

Also, only college students!

[Will Hanashiro]

So is this College Night 2006 still a go? In the food court at the CNN Center?

[Freddy Schurr]

Well, there has been 4 people that have sign up so far.

C'mon people, college night! Whooooooo! Toooggaaa! (not really about the toga :D )

[Erin Rapacki]

Yea! I'd be interested in attending. Should we tack-on some activities after dinner? Like pool party in the Omni or Kareoke?

I'm volunteering as a Robot Inspector, so I'm not sure if I'll be out until after 8pm. In addition, Hard Rock Cafe was really fun two years ago and I highly recommend it. It had an overall better feel than meeting in a food court.

Hmmm... maybe we could make an 8:30 reservation for 15ish people at Hard Rock?

unfortunately, it appears that i won't be able to get up to Atlanta till Friday, if at all. so no web hug or college night for me.

[Arefin Bari]

I am a college FIRSTer and I am volunteering at the championship. I don't get out of there till about 8 p.m. thursday night. I am sure that there are other college mentors who would be busy till 8 p.m. on thursday night with their own team (Pits are open till 8). I think (if possible) the time should be changed to 8:30 p.m. But if you guys can't change it, it's cool and I totally understand.

[Elgin Clock]

I'll stop in wherever it is.. I'm sure I'll have someone's number, or someone can call me who knows where it is gonna be.

[Freddy Schurr]

Ok 8:00 it is!

[379Robocat]

Hey guys I'm a mentor and college student for team 379 the Robocats. I really want to attend but we just got into Nationals on April 13th and we were unable to secure reservations for a close hotel. Since we are stayng pretty far away I won't be able to attend. I would really like to meet with some of you and talk with you guys but I can't go to college night. I was wondering if a few of you wanted to meet up during lunch one of those days for the people that want to attend but are unable to go that night. I mentioned it to Freddy Schurr and I have gotten no response from him. I'm not sure if he's just too busy or not interested. I think it would be a great idea for people like myself and others that can't attend to still be able to interact with the other college mentors in FIRST. If anyone is interested please let me know via PM, post a message or e-mail at PJRoman2004@aol.com. I would really like to interact with more college FIRSTers. Thanks ~Priscilla~

[Freddy Schurr]

I am sorry for not responding back, I have been busy. However, I believe that a lot of college mentors will be busy during lunch time with their own teams.

Regarding college night, I don't know what to do. If someone is willing to book a reservation at Hard Rock Cafe for Thurs Night at 8:15 for 15 people, then do so. I think that it is a good idea.

We could all meet at the Georgia Dome and walk together as ONE!

[The Lucas]

I'll probably be in the pits late thrus but I should be able to come after that.

[Jizvonius]

Hey guys I'm a mentor and college student for team 379 the Robocats. I really want to attend but we just got into Nationals on April 13th and we were unable to secure reservations for a close hotel. Since we are stayng pretty far away I won't be able to attend. I would really like to meet with some of you and talk with you guys but I can't go to college night.

How far are we talking here? You may be able to get a ride back to your hotel if it's not insanely far. That was an offer btw.

[379Robocat]

Hi and thanks for the offer. We are staying at Sleep Inn Buckhead (GA284)
800 Sidney Marcus Blvd , Atlanta, GA, US, 30324-3180. It says it's 5 miles from the world congress center. If anyone is able to give me a ride if it's not too far away that would be great and count me in. Just let me know please. thanks everyone.

[Barry Bonzack]

Sign up if you are interesting!





I have been told numerous times that I am indeed "interesting." I'm in. I'll need a phone call reminder though the day of so it doesn't slip my mind. Hardrock or CNN, I'm happy with either.

[hallk]

Is it cool if we just kinda show up?
So is it at CNN or HardRock at 6 or 8:30????

[Freddy Schurr]

Ok, EVERYONE PLEASE READ

Freddy,

Go ahead and make the reservation at Hard Rock. Not everyone reads these forums, but as we bump into people during Champs, I'm sure we'll fill those 15 seats. Lets get the word out that this is where the fun happens!

[Matt_Kaplan1902]

Well I guess if Arefin is in I am too, since I plan on having him drive me everywhere anyway :)

me too

[379Robocat]

i'm going but i'm not on the list I was before but not now. But i'm definately going

[Jizvonius]

Steven Dang and Roman Shtylman from Georgia Tech are in. It looks like we are running out of space.

[Freddy Schurr]

Ok, here is the deal, I try again this morning and for some reason they won't let me book a reservation.

Any who, if you are going to college night, just add your name to the list.

The Special F.I.R.S.T guest is joining us for dinner!

They might have already taken too many reservations from teams because I know in the past 108 has had a reservation there. We might be able to try and call around an hour before, that way we can knock out some of the wait time while still at the competition. If you want Freddy, just come by the 108 pit some time Thurs and we can try and figure something out.

[Erin Rapacki]

Yea, keep trying for a reservation at Hard Rock (call, call, call!). Maybe increase it to 20? (I'd book space for 5 more people than RSVP, just in case). If Hard Rock is booked lets move it to another restaurant. Maybe that SeaFood place in the Omni, but I'm sure there are plenty of restaurants around.

[Freddy Schurr]

Yeah, I think we are going to have to move the venue because its pack at the HRC. Is there a restaurant in the Omni besides seafood?

[RogerR]

unfortunately, it appears that i won't be able to get up to Atlanta till Friday, if at all. so no web hug or college night for me.

alright, it appears that i was wrong again. i outta be in atlanta come thursday morn, and i'll do my best to make it over. sign me up (again).

[Erin Rapacki]

There are a lot of restaurants around, look online or call a hotel for ideas. There might be an Atlanta onlne city guide... or ask around the forums.

So... any suggestions?

[Arefin Bari]

Lets go to hooters with 237ers. =)

[Kevin Kolodziej]

Right now, I'm 90% in. My team has nothing planned for that night, so I'd love to join you guys. If it comes down to bumping me for someone else to get in that knows they can go, go ahead and bump me.

Kevin

[Freddy Schurr]

Just put your name in the list, if you are coming!

Also, I thinking just chilling at the Omni, no dinner just drinks ( I mean soda or whatever) and talk

[Erin Rapacki]

Yea, that could work. We can hang out in the Omni Lounge on the second floor and order food/appetizers (and drinks for those of us who are old enough).

I'm brining my bathing suit just in case ;)

I plan on showing up. And I may have one or two I can drag with me.

[The Lucas]

The restaurant my team is eating at that night (PittyPat's Porch) apparently is very near the Hard Rock. Don't add me to the list or anything, but I might drop by after dinner :D

[Erin Rapacki]

Woah! I just got a little creeped out... this college night list is so different from the one two years ago! Time flew! what happened? Did everyone got old?

However, I guess I should expect it, I am entering my fifth year of college next year :rolleyes:.

I guess it all comes with growing up with FIRST.

6 years and counting...

[Elgin Clock]

Lets go to hooters with 237ers. =)

hehehe..

YOu can't handle hooters fin.. LOL Only the strong survive hooters, and by strong, I mean strong stomach. Them wings are killer!

However, I guess I should expect it, I am entering my fifth year of college next year :rolleyes:.

5?? aye.. I'm currently in my last semester of number 8. lol
w00t for part time student status.

[Alex Cormier]

If i was going i'd rather be at hooters then the omni lobby.

[Elgin Clock]

There are a lot of restaurants around, look online or call a hotel for ideas. There might be an Atlanta onlne city guide... or ask around the forums.

So... any suggestions?

http://first.atlanta.net/media/docs/Downtown%20Restaurants%20map%20&%20key.pdf

CNN Foodcourt is your best bet for a huge group, which this is turning into. People can come and go as they please, and you aren't locked into one specific food..
You can get just a drink at the fastfood walk up type places, or go to Jocks and Jills and have a more formal dinner if you want.

[Tytus Gerrish]

lets go to hooters. its in the omni and its better

[Jaine Perotti]

lets go to hooters.Although I am not going... just a small caveat about Hooters... not all of the girls who are going may want to go. Check with them first, out of courtesy.

[Tytus Gerrish]

dont care, hooters is better.

[Elgin Clock]

dont care, hooters is better.

FYI Hooters is not in the Omni.. The food court is adjacent to the Omni.

Jocks and Jills is the sit down restaurant in the Food Court.

HOOTERS and HARD ROCK CAFE are right across the street from the Westin, and right next to each other.

[Barry Bonzack]

... he likes omni wheels. =)

What's so special about Billfred? (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showpost.php?p=489235&postcount=18)



I don't care on where we go, but would like it solid before I leave for Atlanta tomorrow night... And I definitely want to hear where and when we are meeting to walk there solid as well. As of now it is still where the webhug is at 8:15? Correct me if I'm wrong.


Again, I'll go no matter where the restaurant is, but I respectfully vote against hooters. I'm going as a mentor to my team, what impression would that give?

[Alex Cormier]

what impression would that give?
You go where the good chicken wings are? It is a college meeting.

[Freddy Schurr]

Alright, WE HAVE MADE OUR MIND UP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES AND IT GETTING CRAZY!

CNN CENTER, FIRST CHOICE- LAST CHOICE, Meeting at Web hug Location at 8:15 then over to CNN CENTER, 8:30 to 10:00 or whatever.

THIS IS IT, NO MORE CHANGES.

BE THERE OR GET HIT IN THE HEAD WITH A POOF BALL BY ME!

LOL!

Also if you wanted to know, I will be at the Webhug, so say hi and whats up!

[Freddy Schurr]

Also the special guest in not Billfred!

It someone very important!

hey i just got here !!! i had Thursday classes are we going to have a friday one ?

[Freddy Schurr]

How did it go? I was busy watching the students Thurs Night, so I could not attend, I apologize for the inconvenience.

I heard from some that it was boring.

[Barry Bonzack]

I'm not entirely sure I ended up with the same group as the college night people... But I went to the CNN center and ended up at a table with Mike Walker, Sara, Billfred, The Lucas, Dan Swando, Alex Comier...and remind me if I left anyone out. A FIRST rep named Walt joined us, it was fun to meet him. I had a blast and didn't leave the CNN center for hours.
