Maybe I'm just jealous because I can't go to IRI....

No its never too late, teams always like to get dates ahead of time so that they can plan for later on down the line. If this were posted next week then it would have a high chance of getting lost in all the chaos. Put the date out early so that mostly everyone will see it before the real FIRST season starts up. We never stop planning the IRI. Why wait until after the Championships are over in mid April to announce the event, and only give teams 2 + months to think about the date?

I'll be there :D No idea if I be with a team or not this year, but I'm sure Andy Baker would have a place for me again if I don't ;)

i would go with the jealous ;) perhaps find someone around there going and beg for a ride? i mean, mike dez (dez250) trekked all the way down to 222's hometown just to go. maybe take a train down into jersey and beg for a ride from myself or the other sarah going. it IS possible, just takes a little determination.

A little determination and a heck of a lot of reading material...

<---- 25 hours on a Greyhound Bus to get to IRI...

PS I should be there this year, but I think I'll take a plane or drive :D

I stayed at the Omni last year one night, but I was so tired from staying up 42 hrs in a row I walked into my hotel room, tossed my bag to the floor, went over and sat in the chair and the next thing I knew it was morning. I missed all the fun :(

Anyway, this year IRI is going to be bigger and better then before, and i reccomend that when registration opens you register quick. I have a feeling spots will go fast.

The Omni, more specifically my and Big Mike's hotel room, was alot of fun. We had about 10 FIRST-ers in there listening to story time featuring JVN until 3 in the morning two nights. Fun times.

Will someone please remember to bring an alarm clock for John V-Neum this year?

I think he may need several. Wouldn't want to sleep through the first few rounds now, would we? ;)

The second night we weren't in there till 3 cause Mike kicked us out :(. But we still managed to have fun running around the hotel at 2AM and taking pictures of the door of room 201 :).

They had an alarm clock, but it only works if you set it ;). Maybe they should have just stayed up when Ken left at 5AM...

An alarm clock isnt going to do too much good if he does something like...oh I dont know taking a hammer to it and smashing it to little pieces, throwing it against the wall till it breaks, tearing out the power cord/winder/batteries, turning it off...and so on. I think you would be better off getting a group of people to sing a morning greeting outside his door if he isnt up in time. :D

Give John a break ;-). My fault for not remembering to wake him up 5am in the morning. I will take care of you this year buddy Q('_'Q) .

Nope. I've already decided to not go to Atlanta and IRI instead for the next 3 years.
