Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

I was a bit depressed after nationals knowing that there were no more competitions and then I heard that we might go to IRI and I can't wait! As far as I know Team 135 will be there. :yikes:

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Can we expect to see the special hotel rates up in the next month?

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

I can't wait for IRI 2006. I'm currently coming up with something for the talent show, so I'll just put this out now - if anyone knows they are coming to IRI and wants to participate in a... bit of a FIRST rap... PM me or contact me on AIM.

This should be good :rolleyes:

Car pool Conor? We can stop at UD ;)

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Hmm.. so.. if I flew in Friday, would there be hotels nearby, and how the heck would I get to the comp?? Is it close to an airport or anything?

I'm thinking of finally going. I was told I have to actually..

But.. where would I stay, and how would I get there.. lol

I'm not looking to mooch rides, or places to stay (although that would be fun I'm sure. lol), I just never paid attention to any of the people asking this in previous years and want to know.

Maybe tomorrow at lunch time during work, I'll look at old IRI threads for ideas..

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

hmm... I think I might be coming up with something for the talent show too. I think I am going to put my singing skills to work this year, instead of chickening out like I did last year.

I hope to sing something a cappella, but is anyone out there willing to play a beginning chord for me (so I can sing the rest of the song in the correct key) on any sort of instrument (preferably guitar)?

I am hoping to volunteer there again this year. I also want to travel there by myself this time (my team probably can't go), and I am looking to perhaps share a room with people I know already... so if any of my friends are going, I might be joining you (if my parents will let me, of course). :)

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

As far as getting to the competition site, there are usually people from the Indy area who will be more than willing to give you a ride. A lot of times, people's flights come in pretty close too so picking a few people up from the airport isn't uncommon.

In terms of places to stay, there are hotels right down the street from the school.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

The airport is on the west side of Indy, and the competition is on the northeast side. not a bad drive, but too far to walk. :)

There are hotels nearby, and several offer IRI Rates (petty cool, huh).

We will post the hotels and rates as soon as we have them. I think there were three that offered deals last year.

As for transportation, it is an expensive cab ride, but you could probably work out for someone to give you a ride from the airport, or get a small group together and rent a car. We are usually done by 5 PM on Saturday, so a return flight at 8 - 9 PM or on Sunday morning would be best.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Any information yet on how we're going to sign up on the 9th??? (yes, I know, I'm anxious, it's better than studying for finals...)

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

when does voulinteer registration begin?

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

All I know is that team 818 will be attending this year!
I hope to meet everyone there!
I'll probably be wearing those tinted glasses that I wore in Palmetto.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

I double that question and add another, when does team registration open and is it open to all teams?

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

There will be an info letter sent to teams that have previously attended or sent us contact info. The same info will also be posted here at the same time. It should be here Friday (5th).

The letter gives the details, but here are some highlights.

We have space for about 60 - 70 teams. Registration starts Monday the 8th,
and will be on team 234's web site. There will be links from here on CD. The web site is www.cyberblue234.com.

Indiana teams and returning teams get first priority, then we try to get a mix of newer teams and veteran teams and different parts of the country (or the world, depending on who registers). That is why we will not post a team list until the 15th. In past years, we have been able to accept all teams that have wanted to attend, but last year we were very close to the limit.

Volunteers will sign up through an email address and the info posted tomorrow will tell what the address is and what detail to include. We try to keep it simple.

The posting will also include info on scholarships, the talent show and the auction.

We have hotels with special deals and should have that info in a few days, also.

Hopefully this covers all the recent questions.

Watch for more info in the next few days. :)
