What an awesome time!
Thanks are great, but you never get everyone who should be thanked. That being said, I would like to thank...
*
Dee and Jenny (i.e., the Dutchess and the Princess) - Terrific job
*
Mike Wade, Pete, and NASA - nice looking field as usual
*
Jeff Seaton (Happy Anniversary) and play-by-play announcer - this event "sounded" like a regional competition
*
All volunteers the days went by very smoothly for a first-time event
Team 357 (for picking us for elims) and Team 1195 (for being a terrific alliance partner)
*
All participating teams everyone was very gracious and helpful
*
NBC4, Digital Expo, and Washington Convention Center for letting us crash their party
Other observations...
* it was nice have Digital Expo as a diversion during down time. It was nice, but not too big.
* load in/ load out was terrific and very easy! No stairways or elevators!
* sound got drowned out a bit during awards ceremony - it was a bit hard to hear the awards announcements
* the mentor-only round was great! Plus, look how many points we all scored! It was a very high scoring round! Did we get extra time? I can't remember, because the blood from my brain was stopped because I had loads of force pushing down on the human player button, which temporarily retarded my circulation.
GREAT TIME EVERYONE. If y'all are up to continue the fun, register for the Duel on the Delaware on October 22, 2005.
