Hello teams,

For the publication of THE NEW COOL, a narrative about FIRST, my publisher has printed out thousands of bookmarks for distribution at Regionals. They're a little late in the game (so it goes), but I'm looking for teams at the Regionals below who would be willing to pass them out in the stands and in the pits (probably roughly 1,000 bookmarks per regional).

I would send them directly to your team by mail next week. If you're interested and attending one of the regionals below (or know of another team who would be), please let me know by emailing me directly at nbascomb@me.com.

Here are the Regionals (chosen by geographic distribution):

Washington DC
Midwest Regional
Autodesk Oregon Regional
Silicon Valley Regional
Northeast Utilities Regional
Minnesota 10000
Denver Regional
Boston Regional
North Carolina Regional
Virginia Regional
Michigan State Champ
Dallas Regional
Buckeye Regional
Seattle Regional

Thanks,

Neal

Can you not send them to the Oklahoma Regional???
If you were able to do that my team would be happy to hand them out.

I'll talk to the team about doing this at MSC, though I'm a bit disappointed you've chosen no Michigan districts. Regardless, The New Cool is an excellent advertisement for FIRST, and I'm sure we as a team would be glad to join into this effort.

Killer Bees will for sure take on the Michigan State Championship. I'm always looking for things for a few of my punks to do between matches.
I'm already halfway through my copy of the book, and I love it.

Please trust that I'd love to send out bookmarks to every FIRST regional and district if I could, but I have a limited number (plus cost of shipping), which makes this prohibitive. Wish this wasn't the case!

I know that the St. Louis regional is somewhat small this year (number of teams), but we are hosting the Championships the next month. We'd be glad to help at either the regional or Championship level if needed.

Thanks for the offer in St. Louis. I'll definitely be bringing bookmarks to the Championship and may very well enlist your help then. Appreciate it.

Glad to see the regional represented. In the unlikely event that the Aces get trumped, you might consider our team. I'm looking for diplomatic ways to get them out of the pits. :) :D :ahh:

Team 48 would be happy to distribute these at Dorton Arena at the North Carolina Regional. It will give us a good excuse to visit other teams (and seek shelter from the blinding rising sun). :cool: Email sent.

Teams,

Thanks again to everyone who volunteered. I'm amazed again at the generosity of the FIRST community. We're all set and hope you all get a chance to read THE NEW COOL.

Good luck at your regionals!

In my personal opinion, this book is terrible. yes i expect my green dots to go away. but i fully support the book marks.

I wouldn't give someone a bad rep for posting their opinion, but rather for the way that their opinion is voiced. You state something very strong, with no reasons as to why you think that way. Kind of silly.

This doesn't sound like a mentor being a role model.

During the opening ceremonies of the Waterloo Regional, I read a passage from the book to introduce Paul Copioli. It was definitely a hit. What surprised me was how few people had heard of the book. Hopefully the word gets out there as the season continues.
