Re: If you see me at the Championships
 

Georgie,

Have your dad or a mentor contact a mentor at 1311 / Newton. We have arranged for someone special to go meet you in your pit. Maybe take a picture too.

Re: If you see me at the Championships
 

We've added you to our "pit visit" list.
It's starting to look as though I might have to rent a wheel chair for him -- he tires easily -- but we're determined to visit the pit of every kind soul who's replied to this thread.
We're not going to tell him ahead of time about 'someone special' though, he would immediately start picturing a visit with Dora the Explorer, Diego, or one of the Backyardigans. :D

Re: If you see me at the Championships
 

That's a great idea. There is so much for him to see and do, although 5 year olds need to rest after so much overload and stimuli. But for him to have a wheel chair to be able to travel around in would rock and maybe help prevent him from tiring so quickly. Also, has he worn safety glasses before? If yes, no problem. If no, you might give him some to get used to.

I don't know if you have thought about this, or if you would want to do this, or if anyone has suggested it, but maybe you guys could make a Georgie sign that could be held up in the stands or used however you would want to. Or a small name tag - with a gecko.

Oh, that's so cool! The colors are awesome!
Thank you for showing me one of the geckos, Georgie.

send me an email and I'll disclose....

Re: If you see me at the Championships
 

Not for prolonged periods.
But he doesn't resist when we make him wear a helmet when he rides his 4-wheeler, so I'm thinking not a major problem.

How about an embroidered hat that says "I'm Georgie"? :)
Friend of family just presented one to us today.
Everyone who knows him loves him....

Re: If you see me at the Championships
 

Yup.

That works. :D

One more thing. The buttons will get heavy and I have a feeling that Georgie is going to get a lot of buttons (such an understatement...). You could drape a cloth or towel over the back of the wheel chair behind him and pin the buttons there. You might need to - duct tape - :) the cloth or towel in place. Or hey, one the team shirts, if there is a spare. He could also carry a small bucket or container with him in the chair for teams to put the buttons in. And a magic marker for autographs if he wants some or if he wants to give some.

You may need a pack mule for all the goodies. Do they allow those in the Dome?

Hopefully - we will all get to see some wonderful photos of this team adventure in Atlanta!

The embroidered hat would be awesome. I know Bacon has Georgie on our list of VIPs to look out for and that would help

Re: If you see me at the Championships
 

I couldn't find an email address for you, so I PM'd you.
PM was a bit of a challenge for me :confused:
Anyway, the PM has my email address in it.

Re: If you see me at the Championships
 

The Firebirds 433 are really excited to meet you Georgie!

Re: If you see me at the Championships
 

Struck out on the pack mule. ;)
Thought about a Segway but mom is afraid he'd try to ride up or down steps.
He is a bit of a dare devil.
Wheel chair will be waiting for us at the hotel when we get there tomorrow.

Photos are promised.

Re: If you see me at the Championships
 

I've been looking for you but haven't found you yet! I dropped off a tshirt in your pit and got to meet your sister, though. Hope you've had fun in Atlanta!

Re: If you see me at the Championships
 

Unfortunately Team 2502 isn't at Atlanta this year but never the less Team 2502 says Hi Georgie!

Re: If you see me at the Championships
 

psst go to Team 85's pit and ask for Mike Quick's autograph sometime. That will be a surprise for my team down in Georgia :D That was a joke. Having a lot of fun at the Championship?

Re: If you see me at the Championships
 

Hi Georgie, again! I hope you had a ton of fun this weekend. I'm sure we'd all love to see pictures of your adventure and newly gained items, if your mom and dad have any!
