Re: 2005 IRI Thank you's and Congrats

On behalf of Team 1114, I'd like to thank the IRI planning committee and all the teams who attended for providing such a warm reception for your friends from the north. Not for a single moment did we ever feel like outsiders.

To Team 71, we've wanted to work with you guys since Atlanta. I'm glad we finally had the opportunity. I can't wait until we try it again.

Team 25 & Honourary members -- Considering the small group that you brought, it was amazing how many obstacles you were able to overcome.

Team 1305 -- To me, your team is the epitome of class. That's for taking the plunge into the states with us. Let's do it again sometime. See you in Wonderland.

To everyone involved in the Radio Test -- Thanks for turning what should have been a monotonous task into an hour of pure hilarity.

Overall, IRI was just a fantastic time. To those who've never attended, you have to try it. There's just something about the atmosphere that is unparalleled. I can't really explain it, I think it needs to be experienced.

See all of you next year, eh?
