2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
It's that time again. Time for everybody to come face to face and get out from behind those monitors, keyboards, and hundreds of miles of Internet.
What: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug When: Thursday, 12:00 Noon Where: Near the entrance to the Georgia World Congress Center, Hall B. Who: You have a forum account? You're invited. We will give a quick hello, let people meet & greet, maybe hand out some forum-based awards, etc. Shouldn't take up too much time. Keep an eye out for an exact location. If you don't know what the Web Hug is, and want to read about previous years, see these threads: 2003 2002 2001 |
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
I've fallen somewhat from my position as a Top Ten Poster from two years ago...
It's funny, cause I had only been posting since about January when I got that, or something like that. Anyways, the webhugs are always fun, I've sort of had some of my own mini ones over the past weekend, finding random CD people at SBPLI, and I plan to do the same this weekend at Drexel :-). It's always cool to meet new people. Can't wait, 21 days :-D! |
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
Awwww ... I had so much fun last year - sorry I won't be able to make the '04 web hug! :(
Make sure there are lots of pictures taken and let those of us who can't be there know how it went!!! |
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
Wish I could go...but I have a huge paper on the NYSE due as well as Sigma Kappa stuff that entire week...
...maybe I'll just send my love in the form of cookies :D |
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
I'm assuming this is at the Nationals...if so, I'll be there...even though I'm a newbie!
|
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
I missed it last year because we were at the noon practice match...heh that was the match where Im lined up on the human player pad and Austin, our driver is down on the other side of the field hooking up the controls to the wrong allience station...whoops.
"So you guys have a robot and a human player....do you also have a set of drivers?" FIRST Field Crew Guy. :ahh: Anyway, I'll be there this year :D |

Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
I've never been to a webhug, and am looking forward to meeting everyone!
(Someone had better just find me and remind me to come, I'm kinda ditzy like that) :) |
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
oh boy!

Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
Hey Brandon: Mike, and the rest of the CD team,
Since the Webhug is tentatively scheduled at noon on Thursday and the conferences that FIRST have start at 1:00, maybe we can have it in the same general area as the conferences will be? The last time I went to a webhug, we were done in well under an hour. That should give more than enough time for us to do our thing, and then have the conferences come in to start. Unless, you wanted to have the webhug in the open somewhere, but I know in previous years that when we were in the general area, that we had to do some yelling to make announcements and what not. It's all your choice I guess, I just wanted to offer a proposal for a location. Wherever it is, I'll be sure to be there! |
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
I would like to suggest a location for the venue. It is a really nice spot right next to the Dome (between the Dome and building C of the GWCC). It is beautiful grassy area, perfect for hanging out, meeting people and relaxing. I think this might be where FIRST is placing the picture area for teams. Unfortunatly I could not find a picture to post, but the location can be seen in the link below right about where #5 is.
http://www.gwcc.com/images/gwccmap.pdf Just a thought. I look forward to seeing everyone. |

(Now I definetley can't goto the WebHug, she already wants me dead) I will try and be there, practice match schedule permitting. |
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
I will also try to be there. Hopefully I don't have a practice match then so I can come.

Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
Is anyone interested in putting together a web hug scavenger hunt for an icebreaker? A list of stuff related to the Forums and a place for signatures, like:
1) Someone from team 111 2) Someone who has ridden a Segway 3) Someone who has played hacky sack with Andy Baker 4) Someone who has posted a Haiku in the Chit Chat Forum 5) The Real JVN etc. - can't use the same person for more than one answer. |

Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
Made an appearance last year, it was pretty cool. Plan to again if I'm not scouting.
|
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
I have been told that I may have a spot given to me on my team's national list, which is fabulous. If I do go, I will be in there hugging everyone ^^. Many of you have probably met me...I dispensed hugs like a free vending machine at the MWR.

Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
The more hugs the merrier. Everyone should give hugs. ALL THE TIME! *grin*
I'll volunteer to wear a sign and advertise the web hug! |
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
We now have a location picked out.
Since some of the FIRST conferences start at 1pm, we figured we would have the web hug near that location so that people aren't late to any conferences they are attending. Location: Near the entrance to the Georgia World Congress Center, Hall B. |
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
Brandon,
Here is a map I found of the complex.. http://www.gwcc.com/images/gwccmap.pdf Where exactly is it? |
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
The building labeled B is the building where the confrences will be held. I would assume there would be signage between the Georgia Dome and Hall B. Somewhere right inside the building where everyone is walking between the Dome and Hall B.
They won't, I hope, hide in some obscure corner. Wetzel |

|
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
i want a hug....NOT fair
*hug me* :( |
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
I think Wetzel is right. We definitely won't be hiding :). There will probably be a few Chief Delphi students scattered around directing people and such. I think, if I remember right, we have a large orange flag or banner of some sort too. From the looks of the response of this thread there should be a large enough group to stand out.

Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta

Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
WHAT!? martus was there, he was handing out the webhugshirts and i asked for the empty box and i got it and then he wanted it back, He was there
|
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
I missed the webhug. I didn't know where to find it. By the time I was done wandering around outside, someone from chief told me it was over. I was sad. So have a webhug. ::HUG:: And I saw Wetzel. I think. Somewehre else.
|
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
I totally spaced the Webhug until I saw Aaron Lussier and he reminded me of it.. but I failed to catch where it was, so here I am galavanting all over the Georgia Dome, and finally found a large familiar group of people inbetween the fields and pits. It was pretty cool to see part of the Chiefdelphi community all in one place, and I met a lot of cool people. When talking about the webhug, I think most people would agree "That's Pimp!" :]
|
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
I was completely busy running the scoring table on the Curie Division, so I didn't have much time to go to webhug. I got lost for the longest time, and made it there the last minute when Mike Martus started announcing the stats and people who won shirts. I had to run out of there as soon as my lunch break was over, so I couldn't talk to anyone at the webhug.
For those of you who were there, please forgive me for not being as friendly as I should've been. I was nice seeing everyone there. Lots of real faces behind the computer screen name. Worst thing was, when I left the webhug I saw Libby Ritchie, the 1 person I want to meet the most at Championship event, coming up the elevator and I didn't even have time to chat. Bah! I will just have to go to IRI now. |
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
What's up with the T-shirts? I obviously missed the web-hug (since I wasn't in Atlanta), so I would love to hear what happened.

T-Shirts were given out as the awards this year.
I have the list at home; I will post all the stats & awards tonight. |
Re: 2004 Chief Delphi Web Hug in Atlanta
Yay!! Webhug!! Definately a lot more people than the last time I went to one. (2002) And I got a big bear hug/assault by Big Mike.. Where is that pic Mike??
After the web hug, it basically turned into a 5 hour long social with a bunch of us hanging out at the lobby and then in front of the Einstein field till 5. Nice to meet you all, and if you actually introduced yourself to me thanks.. I am finally getting recognized at FIRST events!! YAY!!!! See some of you at some mini-comps this year. |
