when you pitched FIRST to a potential new sponsor, that part of it was a bit awkward.

The way the championship is now is, well... pure FIRST and nothing else

but to be honest, I miss those days - it was magic.
Maybe we could have it on the West Coast for once. The Anaheim Convention center would be nice. It is certainly big enough. Of course you might have to feign ignorance about the large resort area across the street when talking to sponsors
