before graduating HS the one thing you MUST do is to at least attend 1 nationals. Its awesome. Your away from home for about a week and you spend that week with not only your team members but fellow teams as well. and depending where you stay you guys could like go to the nearest game room or be outside and play hacky sack while your teams competing.

I've already graduated HS. The fact is I hate planes and scared of flying. That's why I've never gone to nationals. I'm not going with my team this year either. My team has gotten by without me at Nats so far.

I have actually flown before for business purposes but wasn't given much of a choice in the matter.

i think the best memory of the mandy moore concert was the fact her pants had to be constantly adjusted by her wardrobe personell on stage... that was it tho...

my team stayed for about a few minutes to the concert after that we retreated to WDW for the last team social in FIRST till the next season begins. The time just seemed so short between the speeches and the Social.

Looking forward to my first nationals experience.. and I happen to be operating too! I am really pumped for this as I have heard from every older member on my team just how much fun it is. The only qualm I have is the length, I'd like to stay longer than wednesday to saturday night, but its a long bus ride back up to toronto from atl.. hehe

ahahahahahah i remember this so well!! i can so remember going outside during a brutal thunderstorm and seeing kids play frisbee.. this will be my 4th nationals in a row and I know it will be nowhere as good as my first two. Basically, disney owned. Transportation everywhere with the snap of your fingers, awesome food, awesome venue, awesome rides, awesome everything. I didn't care about paying extra for food either, disney just ruled.

Last year was a huge dissapointment for me, thankfully our team did well so I didn't really notice how much houston was a dropoff from disney.

comeon Disney and First, become friends again!!! we miss you!! sheesh.

[edit- more memories]

anyone see the kid pointing at the camera with his mouth open? dude reminds me of that skinny little kid on little giants..

at that exact awards ceremony my team was sitting behind a team.. maybe 56? who was throwing out sweet flexible frisbees- i still have mine in my room.. anyway, they would chuck them 100 yards down (we were at the top of the stands) and would try to hit people down. Hilarious stuff. I bet it wasn't so hilarious when people got hit, but it was entertainment.

The team behind us had about 10 bags full of pixty sticks. yep, behind us, so we got about 5 bags worth.

Man, i really do miss Florida. Florida ruled, pwned, owned whatever you want to call it. I can't put in words how much I miss florida... daisjdlsajdpsa.. anyone else feel this way?
