Re: pic: John, Ken, Adrienne, and I at the GTR.
Though you can't tell from the picture, this was one of the most fun times I've had at a FIRST event. Adrienne and I road-tripped it up to Toronto to watch our friends on 1114, and 1511. You can imagine our surprise when they ended up winning the regional together. It was certainly a blast.

We got to relax the whole weekend, and spent most of the time watching matches with the amazing and famous Ken Patton (he's a Woodie Flowers Award winner). Sometimes Jay would come hang out too (when he wasn't being too cool for us).
Ken and I spent a great amount of time trash-talking and discussing strategy. I can't speak for him, but I know I gained new insight into the game. It was also exciting to sit and watch a regional with no real responsibilities. Since I've joined FIRST in 2000 I have only done this once or twice.

Thanks for sharing this picture, it brings back fun memories.

John
