My first regional was San Jose 2000, there were a lot of big name west coast teams just coming into their prime at that one. We (64) seeded second and allied with 192 (GRT). We ended up getting beat by 330 (beachbots) and the imfamous alliance of 60 and 254 ended up winning the regional. It was a west coast classic.
I screamed until I couldn't talk. Good times.

I too remeber that year. Post like that really make me miss FIRST.
As for my first regional it was also in San Jose. 1999 the first year of the SV regional. We camped in the mountains and had an AMAZING time watching our teacher scurry up a tree and being attacked by crazy animals at night. That was the year we were in the huge hanger if anyone else remebers that. Good times. :-(
AHHHH I miss first. Thank you god for the AZ regional in a week!
