An advance group of TechnoKats (eight students, a handful of mentors) is on the way from Kokomo to St. Louis right now. The trailer full of pit paraphernalia started out very early today and should have gotten there a few hours ago. The rest of the team will be leaving tomorrow morning, to arrive a bit before noon.

A few 587 members who don't like driving/waking up really early in the morning are leaving today. Very early tomorrow, the core build team, programmers, and drivers are heading up to be there by the time the pits open. Later tomorrow, the rest of the team (PR, animation, etc) is leaving to arrive late afternoon.

753 leaves in about 40 minutes!
Its only a 3.5 hour drive to Portland Oregon, but were cramped!
To much luggage and the mascot suit is HUGE!
We can't wait, were getting here early so we can swim in the pool and contemplate game strategy...

I plan to leave around 6:45 tomorrow morning, take the bus to school, walk 2 blocks to the Siegel Center and arrive at about 8:30 :-D business as usual
217 is on its way by bus to the St. Louis Regional. Spoke to Paul earlier, they were passing through Indiana and debating about making a stop at their favorite farm. I should be into NJ by the early afternoon tomorrow.

Team 1250 is leaving at 7:45 pm for St. Louis. All night bus ride and then showing up at the arena right off of it. It should be interesting.
We leave tomorrow at 0700, and hope to get to Trenton by the time the pits open :).

Just arrived in Manchester, teachers tried to put us in a really sketchy motel (Manchester Inn for anyone interested).... and that didn't go over too well. Now in the Radisson across from the Arena! Pumped for tomorrow!
Relaxing till the fifteenth, our first regional.

EVDO? What provider? I could use my razr with Verizon to do that, but I'd have to seem edit it and I'd probably get caught (it's $60 a month and against the TOS to use it without a data plan). I use 1x right now, and it's slower than...something that's really slow (think 60-70Kbps...yuck).
I don't feel like getting my service terminated. But it is nice to have truly wireless internet!
(the saddest part about this post is that I actually understood every bit of your post...wow, I think I'm a nerd)
