FIRSTcast LIVE! 2008

OH SNAP! It's that time of the year, yes, our live episode from Championship. I get to see Jeff again after a year of depression, awaiting the day where his van dyke warms my heart. *cough* Anyway....

Main Life Episode

This year's live episode is going to take place at the PEACHTREE PLAZA WESTIN (http://www.starwoodhotels.com/westin/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=1023). If you want to partake in the fun, show up to the LOBBY AREA at 9pm on Thursday night. We might take our show to another location that is quieter (currently working that out with the Westin folks) if that doesn't work. We plan on having guests, talking about championships, general FIRST talk, and just having fun.

Depending now how things go, we might go to a bar/sports club, so if you are 21 and over and can't make it, show up to the pubs/clubs! Send me a PM for my phone # so you can get in touch with me about that.

FIRSTcast In-The-Pits Interviews

Jeff can record to his iPod, so why not do this? We'll be walking around testing this feature out. If it works and we get enough material we'll release an episode or two. Just look out for us.

EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND NO GUARANTEES ARE MADE. If something changes and we can tell you about it, we will in this thread.

Bored on the trip to Atlanta? Download some old episodes (I'm a fan on 3.2 myself) or check out these podcasts....

We're only a few days away now. Come join us and talk about whatever this sneak peak will be.
We'll have 4 mics and there's only two of us. You do the math...

I'm also looking for people interested in being recorded while you're coaching. PM me if interested.
