When were you first spotted at a FIRST competition?
Everyone here seems to meet each other in the funniest of places.

(If you're wondering, they pwned us on Friday night, after the social.) So we all get to the regional, and on Thursday I'm walking down the middle row of pits, where both 1293's and 433's pits were set up. Out of nowhere, Meredith (aka fireboidsgrl) from the Firebirds comes up to me and says...
