It was great to be a part of Mission Mayhem 2008. There were many wonderful moments including this one. What you are seeing is everyone introduce each other. They stood in chronological order of the year they became Woodie Flowers Award winners and watching them introduce each other and then pass the mic for the next introduction was a goosebumper. Also, the excitement they generated in the crowd put smiles on everyone's faces, after they picked their jaws up off the floor.
Actually, Arefin had to pick his whole self off the floor when they entered the venue.
It was great fun watching some of them mingle with the teams while others participated as guest MCs and announcers for a little while. Great great fun and so very inspiring.
The teams were great, asking politely to have their pictures taken with their heroes and being patient while waiting, all the while - a very exciting competition was taking place.
A thank you to Andy Baker, whose idea this was, for making this a moment to remember for everyone present at Mission Mayhem. I'm just sorry not everyone could see this. You, too, would have had a jaw-dropping experience!
Those were some pretty neat WFA tee shirts, guys!
