Where is everyone around these parts going??
We're trying to decide right now between the J&J Mid-Atlantic and the UTC NE Regional... The last two years the team has attended J&J..
Basically, both are sincerely awesome competitions.. Pros of the J&J is the venue.. it felt awesome to be back in front of a gym crowd again.. i had forgotten what it felt like on stage! Cons of that is the distance away.. we start making the trek at 2 or 3 on Thursday morning to get there (and save $$)
Pros to the UTC is that it is where most of the teams that we (college kids) come from compete (126, 177, 97, 190..etc..)... it's closer in vicinity to us (much shorter ride).. and, it will give us the longest time until our next competition (nationals) and that has a huuuuuge effect on college kids being able to attend.. and if we can go to engineer/chaparone/etc, then there is no chance of the HS kids going! Cons: the arena.. (but I really don't think it's that bad.. maybe cause we won gold on that stage.. but at least we have a competition and a great sponsor for it!!!)
So what about the other east coasters..? Which one for you guys.. some people travelled to VA last year, you going back?? Anyone going to try out New York? Philly??
