I can't wait either. I really like the idea of going to such a great school for a regional!!!! Does anybody know of any good hotels near teh school, besides the University Inn or Holiday Inn???? :)

Re: 2005 Boilermaker Regional
 

Right after Kickoff, the Regional Committee will be sending this and other relevant information out to the teams that are signed up. Check with your team leader around that time! :)

If I didn't already live in town, I'd be staying in the Hilton Garden Inn located in the Wabash Landing. It is a really nice hotel and I hope FIRST offers packages for teams who want to Boiler Up in style.

Re: 2005 Boilermaker Regional
 

just fyi: the res hall food courts will not be open this week, but the union will be with limited hours. there are plenty of quick, cheap places to eat pretty close to campus though.

Re: 2005 Boilermaker Regional
 

There are a bunch of restraunts within walking distance of the venue for the competition...
AND
Lafayette does have the most restraunts per capita or something crazy like that of any place in the country! HOWS THAT FOR SUPER COOL TRIVIA I LEARNED FROM JEPORADY! So yah, finding a place to eat shouldn't be a problem.

People!!!

I'm pleased to announce a special performance at the 2005 Boilermaker Regional Team Social event.

Dean Simmons and the Kamen Brothers Band will be rockin' the house during this event. If you saw or heard them play at the 2004 IRI, you will not want to miss this!

Please visit their website - it's still under some construction, but if you are attending this event, you can look forward to putting in song requests. This doesn't guarantee they'll be played, but this is an opportunity for you to get your favorite songs played live by one of coolest bands around.
They do have a forum in which you can discuss various things. There may be a specific area for song requests in the near future, so look for that.

So - have at it!
Thanks!

ps - to reiterate what Amanda posted earlier, team leaders will be receiving full packets of information regarding this regional soon after kick-off, so look for that and you'll know what's happening each day.

Re: 2005 Boilermaker Regional
 

There is now a request page for songs. Go get your request in now so they can master it by showtime!

Just one more thing to add to the list of "reasons to be excited for this regional"

Can't wait ^_^

Re: 2005 Boilermaker Regional
 

All -

The Boilermaker Regional website is now live.

http://first.purdue.org/boilermakerregional

Please keep in mind that it is still under construction and will be populated with loads more information in the next few weeks.

Thanks,

Re: 2005 Boilermaker Regional
 

SAAAAAWWEEEET!

SOO EXCITED!

Re: 2005 Boilermaker Regional
 

Boiler Up! I can't wait to get back to campus.

For those Purdue first timers, here's a restaurant checklist:

1. Cheese Stix from Mad Mushroom Pizza (This is a MUST!!)
2. Jimmy John's (Great Subs)
3. Jakes (Good burgers)
4. A.J. Wingers (mmm wings...)
5. Bruno's Pizza (Dough Balls with cheese - Yumm)

And for the mentor's: Harry's Chocolate Shop has excellent food and pretty good "beverages" as well.

There are a lot more options right near campus, these just happen to be my favorites.

Re: 2005 Boilermaker Regional
 

MMMM.. yes.. those are all good. Team leaders should be watching for their official "team packets" in the next 1.5wks or so. This will contain tons of information about the regional.

You will have the option to enjoy all of these restaurants, but you will also be provided the opportunity to eat with all other teams in the Union.
Please read the packets for more info when you receive them, and eventually the website will contain much of the same information for everyone to check out.
