: Hi Lucia !
: I would like to personally thank you for all of the hard work I know you put into this event. I thought that the LoneStar Regional went very well and I had a blast (you may remember me if I told you I was the coach with the "Rocket through the head" cowboy hat).
: Things I liked:
: - The pit size was great.
: - The isle width was great.
: - The arena/facility was good.
: - Lighting was good.
: - I liked the seperation of the floor area from the crowd
: - Proximity of the parking lot to the pits was fantastic.
: - Matches flowed well.
: - Good job with the party. (all of the glow-in-the-dark stuff was great!)
:
: Things to improve:
: - Paying to park wasn't cool.
: - Could not understand the announcements very well.
: - Selection of food/prices.
: - The Radisson was dissappointing (very bad condition).
: - The playing field controller problems were unfortunate (FIRST's problem).
: I hope to see you again at next years LoneStar regional.

: Team 34
: Finalist 2001 LoneStar Regional (YEH!)
Ed,
Thanks for the kind words! Steve Alaniz and I do this for the kids. Not enough money in the world can replace those wonderful smiling faces and all the hugs.
I appreciate the feedback and will cover some of the issues with event people. If you could elaborate on the parking I can be emailed at
lsevcik810@aol.com. I agree with you on the announcements, I assume you are referring to the pit announcements. I can take this back to the audio/visual people. I would appreciate more comments on the hotel. Were the rates too high for the service you received. Please email me on it. The food prices are high, that's why we tried to offer alternatives. One solution is to get box lunches from AraMark for teams that are interested. This we can explore. Let me know your thoughts.
