Lucia,

FIRST of all, congratulations to you and Steve on being the recipients of the FIRST Volunteer Award. We appreciate you and all the time and hard work that goes into organizing an event of this size.

I wanted to comment on your request for feedback:
* Very, Very Dissatisfied with Radisson. "Group Unfriendly". This is an issue I'll address to The Moving Company.
* Disliked the smoke, understand it was for special effects with the lighting.
* Thought the staging area was to dark
* Felt FIRST should have a continuous seeding count. I suppose this is FIRST's own fault because we have come accustomed to having this. Yes, we are spoiled!
* I was unprepared to pay for parking. I'm sure in the stack of emails I received from you and FIRST it mentioned it somewhere and I just failed to read it.
* Food cost, I paid $3.00 for a bottle of water.


Near and dear to my heart:
* You sitting with us during the some of the finals.
* Arena floor control. I would suggest to FIRST to have other event sites to look at the way you guys control robot traffic on and off of the playing field and staging area.
* Food was great at the party, our students had a great time. Loved the glow in the dark everything. It was obvious that alot of work went into this party.
* Pit size.
* Easy and close access to unloading the vehicles for the pits.
* Close parking to the event.

Personally I had a great time, I danced and cheered all three days, saw old friends and made new ones. I hope to see you at the Nationals and to attend the LoneStar Regional again next year.
