Re: 8:00PM Friday SECRET EVENT.
 

Dean has been dropping hints about Will.I.Am coming to championships at every regional he's been to. I agree that it's better to keep it on the DL, so that the place won't be swarmed with non FIRST kids.

I think having the BEP come and play a show for us, would be another way to get FIRST in a different spotlight. "Will.I.Am supports FIRST and decides to give back with a show in FIRST World Championships" It would get groups that are unfamiliar with FIRST and have no way to hear about it, to hear about the program and generate interest.

That's why I never see news about them on Pitchfork! :cool:

Re: 8:00PM Friday SECRET EVENT.
 

I think one reason FIRST hasn't outright mentioned that the BEP are performing is they don't want a situation similar to the 2008 Boston Regional where they sent out an e-mail blast that the Blue Man Group was going to be there and thousands of college kids flooded the arena.Considering that the event would be free and the BEP are a big time attraction there could be a near riot if the people of St. Louis just show up en masse for the concert out of the blue.
