Florida Regional Team Social
 

Hi Everyone:

We at Exploding Bacon are starting to plan a pre-Regional Team Social. We are researching having the event at a place called Hard Knocks, a local LAN gaming center with "simulated laser combat" aka laser tag on steroids. Here's a link to the website that has a virtual tour. http://indoorwar.com/

It can hold up to 200 or so people with an hour of laser tag and then an hour of gaming.

To have the party at this venue would run about $25.00 per person. I was wondering what the CD community thinks about this price. It is actually less than what it normally costs to play there, but I'm not sure if it is to much with all the other expenses of travel.


We would really appreciate your feedback before we make any final arrangements.

Thanks
Wendymom

Sounds reasonable. This place looks awesome. We where actually going to do this instead of paint ball last year because of the fact that some of our members don't like the little bit of pain associated with it ;) but our plans fell through due. To scheduling issues. Let us no if this works out because I know s few bionic tigers who would be interested. Thanks Wendy :)

Ooooooooooo!
That sounds fun!
Which day are you looking to do this?

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

Hey sounds good to us. 1102 has a secret ninja we'll bring

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

The Social would be Wednesday evening from about 7-9. For a little bit higher cost it would include pizza and a drink. Then the mentors wouldn't have to worry about dinner for the team that night.

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

sounds like fun. Although, I would prefer paintball.

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

Sounds like fun, maybe Purple Haze will join you guys!

w00t!! I'm so glad we're finally organizing this. Hard Knocks really is a great place to hang out and it would be SO much fun with a boatload of FIRSTers. :yikes:

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

Wow James.. how are you!! In case you didn't hear pink is hosting a paint ball party the Friday or Saturday after ship date. There are about 4 teams coming and it would be awesome if we had some bacon to along with the Pink and Purple!

I really wish i could make it to FL this year, but I will be in Atlanta XD

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

Hey Mr. Pell, i'm fine, i'll let the team know about the paint ball and we'll see who can make it.

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

Just got off the phone with Hard Knocks and the lowest price they can give us is 30.00 per person. But no registration fee and you get one full hour of combat and one full hour of gaming.

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

Hard Knocks was proving way to expensive so:

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

aww!
I was looking forward to Hard Knocks too.:(

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

Just because we're not hosting an event there don't mean we cant go with a group and hang. I'm sure i'll be able to find a few people wanting to go

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

I would like to go, and I'm sure a few other 1251 people would too.

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

I'll get with you guys when I get down to Florida for the regional.

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

Does anyone know if their main team contact received the email invite? All the teams that I have talked to had no idea about it. I wonder if there was a snafu somewhere. Anyway.....Chiefdephi will spread the word!

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

Aah, I wish I could go. Too bad the Science FCAT is the next day.

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

Science FCAT is the monday after Florida

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

The Florida Regional Committee has sent out the invites but if students could ask their mentors (or they can do it) to let me know how many people from each team will be attending that would be helpful. I need to know how much food to cook.

Thanks

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

I"ll check with Ms. A. on 945 and get you a answer for that team as soon as i can.

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

I need head counts by Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Gotta go shopping!!! Hope to see you all there.

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

I'll be there!!!!!

As for FCAT, someone needs to write a letter to the state government and let them know that FIRST is more important than some stupid test that tortures children year after year.

Re: Florida Regional Team Social
 

Ok Victoria, Ed, Dave Guzman and Nawid. I have you all down.

See you tomorrow.
