After that, we (me, my bf, and the two boys) kept pairing up to cover areas. In the second to last match, I got injured so had to sit out and one of the two boys was also injured, so we walked to the side and began talking. For some odd reason, I mentioned FIRST and he said that he was on team 1230, as was the other guy. One is a senior, the other a college frosshie. After the last match, my boyfriend came back and so did the other guy.

We had managed to find the only two other FIRST geeks in the town of Jim Thorpe, PA. 25, 1089, and 1230 were the teams at this meeting.. We all started exchanging CD names and AIM and BAM! a nice friendship and possibly a nice paintball team ensued...
um... yea, that was me, so ditto on that story
