OK heres what i think, since i have been working with M since the start for the "Pavilion idea". LAN Parties can happen, but only in a hotel with each other, don't even really try to get a LAN party started in the park, one it wouldn't work, 2 personally WHY!?!, maybe its just me but i think i can find a few things for some team members to do to display FIRST to the public other then by playing games... Also guys, you gotta remember these things have to be available to the general public who wants to know about FIRST if its going to be happening during Nats in the Park by us.

Now onto Bands... Don't think of getting any bands to play if they charge any sort of fee. This goes against GP really, FIRST noticed in the last year of Disney a band wont work... The people are tired and it winds up being a wasted effort. Now if bands would like to set up on their own and perform for free without interacting with FIRST and just happen to perform at the same time, go for it, i don't see a problem unless they charge a fee. Personally i would not like to see a band perform on my behalf due to it changes why people would be there. From getting to learn about FIRST to going to a free concert... When you start charging the public for activities and events that they want to learn more about or find out what it is, thats when the event goes down hill... Why do you think FIRST doesn't charge admission at competitions?
