So who's ready to Compete? I can wait to see what we're up against! It looks like this may be the first year where we'll come in under weight and be ready to compete right out of the crate.

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

Will there be a team social on Friday?

I'm psyched..1 week to go!

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

1923 is SUPER excited to be there.

I can't wait! Just a week left!
:D

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

Sorry, but according to the update that went out to the team contacts this week there will not be a team social this year. I suggest that teams spend that energy at the event on Friday, instead!

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

Awww... Too bad I'll only be there on Saturday, or I would volunteer to bring the Banana suit again for that. lol
That was a great time last year! :D

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

Good luck everyone! We miss seeing all of you.
I dont know how you folks can handle the cold.
I remember waiting outside last year before they opened the doors. I had to go back into the minivan. Yet, I see students with just a team t-shirt on.:eek:

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

Really it wasn't that bad.:D Its only bad when it gets windy and it's below 32 degrees.

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

Yeah that was pretty mild imo.

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

(current temperature in Waialua: 78F, current temperature in Trenton: 32F)

We'll miss you and your hula lesson, too! Good luck at your new home regional! I'm sure you'll be sorry to hear that you're missing this lovely seasonal weather, too:

I was just told that the Chesapeake regional is not a fully enclosed stadium and that it could be very cold there also. I guess I have to sneak the minivan in the pit area too.:rolleyes:
We have 8 girls on the team now, so they are practicing a bigger and newer hula dance.:D

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

well..... last year Chesapeake started off with a beautiful 70 degree day... and ended in freezing rain and sleet with snow covering the ground... so...:rolleyes:

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

I think the record in Hawaii change of temp in a single day is 10 degrees or less. Cant imagine a bigger change than that.
So in conclusion, I need to bring a team t-shirt and bring snow gear just in case.:D
We actually have Island Snow ski and snowboarding gears in Hawaii. For the life of me, I dont know how the heck they stay in business here. I just dont get it.:confused:

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

lol that's so tru unless just send 108 them down I-295 and get them to Princeton nothing bad happens there lol ...Snow again?? I heard it was suppose to be sunny 32 Thursday but for the other two days I don't know I'm really excited for New Jersey it's a pretty fun competition

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

Last chance for mascot volunteers for Friday's opening ceremonies.

If any other team wants to have their mascot help out in Friday's opening ceremony, just shoot me a message/email/IM


See you all on Thursday!

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

So...I'll be there teamless, but if anyone'll give me an outfit/some sort of thing to qualify me as a mascot...i'll do it :D
