Hey, I actually just remembered a big problem that we had with our school once. Last year, on the day of our media event, it rained (we live in the desert) and many places were flooded. Schools were subsequently closed. We ahd everything set up to go with the LA Times and the local press, but the school wouldn't allow us in. Therefore, we called all of the media and cancelled on them. We then found out that Team 399 (a local team and our mentors last year) were allowed to have their media event. So our mentor gave the superintendent an earful and then he yelled at our principal. Now that he was in trouble, they let us into the school and we had the event, however we were only able to get one local paper to come on such short notice, so we ended up with a little blurb at the end of Team 399's frontpage story.
