Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places
This was quite a while ago, but I just remembered it for some reason.

I was in New York City at the same time as the NYC Regional (I feel horrible that I couldn't go!) visiting my aunt and uncle. After visiting their new apartment (they had ust bought a new one) we went to see the art show "Ashes and Snow" at the Nomadic Museam. As we were waiting in line to get in, all of a sudden I heard a bunch of people behind me talking about the regional. I turned around and told them that I was also a FIRSTer. I then asked them what their connection to FIRST was. Apparently it was a family... the daughter was on team 555, and they had come to NYC to see her team compete. It was cool to meet people who you have things in common with, that you would never relate to otherwise. FIRST has a funny way of connecting people... I like it.
