I don't know if Team 223 will be able to compete yet, but I can guarantee at least one flame-panted* volunteer!




*but probably not because those things are miserable to wear in the summer

Re: Introducing - MidKnight Mayhem!
 

sounds like a lot of fun, we are in a bind right now with funding and the school but will keep it in mind, and share with other local teams.

Re: Introducing - MidKnight Mayhem!
 

Just curious, what time does it start?

Re: Introducing - MidKnight Mayhem!
 

Team 340 is very excited to be attending the inaugural MidKnight Mayhem! I know this will be a great event and I hope it's one that we can attend every year!

Re: Introducing - MidKnight Mayhem!
 

I'm mad that it took me a bit to get that.

2495 may or may not be attending, depending if we get off the waitlist for monty. Regardless, I'll be there volunteering if we don't make it (and possibly a big chunk of my team)

Re: Introducing - MidKnight Mayhem!
 

If you're NOT making a joke on our traditional cheer...


..we'll get back to you on that.

We're looking at following a pretty traditional off-season agenda, so probably 8:30 - but weirdly enough it's not something our committee never talked about! So when we all chat about it I will update it :) and of course, the agenda will be on the website launching soon.

Re: Introducing - MidKnight Mayhem!
 

It should be at midnight with blacklights and glow in the dark Frisbees like those late night bowling parties.
Now THAT would be unique!

Re: Introducing - MidKnight Mayhem!
 

Darn, Brandon still hasn't instituted that 'like' button on CD! :rolleyes:

I'm sure a few Pi-oneers would love to come down!

Re: Introducing - MidKnight Mayhem!
 

Thanks! If you're volunteering please be sure to sign up on the form.

Thanks for your support, all - and tell any teams you might be friends with - I know it's a hard time of year to be keeping up with CD, but we definitely want to get the word out.

This event is truly a dream come true for Katie and I - a few short months after we founded 1923, we were in gym class together and realized our school had a PERFECT layout for an event. Now that we've finally got the resources together and the support from the school, we are SO ready to make this a great off-season for everyone. We know it's short(ish) notice, but early summer events seem to be in high demand, since Monty's on a waitlist already.

If you think you're not local enough to make it happen, please know that since we do already have out-of-state interest (thanks 340!), we'll be working on getting hotel deals for teams and/or volunteers if they want to come from far away. FIRST is a community, and we've been so fortunate to have friends from all over the country and world - it'd be a shame if we couldn't invite them to our party!

We're so looking forward to this, and I hope we'll see you there!

Re: Introducing - MidKnight Mayhem!
 

How many teams have registered so far?

Re: Introducing - MidKnight Mayhem!
 

And also, how many teams do you have room for? The Pascack Pi-oneers should be registering soon :D.

Re: Introducing - MidKnight Mayhem!
 

Officially on the form we have 4, but we have several other teams who emailed the midknightmayhem@gmail.com account who have been directed to fill it out.

In barely 12 hours since announcing it, we've got 9 teams already. Pretty sweet if you ask me!

Re: Introducing - MidKnight Mayhem!
 

I'm super excited for this! I'll be volunteering; it'll be fun to be outside of the midwest for a change :)

Re: Introducing - MidKnight Mayhem!
 

Libby,

Please let me know if you do end up with something for hotels. I definitely want to come down and volunteer, but I would probably be driving down Friday night and leaving Sunday morning. It would be far too long of a day to do a one day road trip.
