Now that I've caught up on sleep and schoolwork, I wanted to take the time to say how incredible the Boston event was. Assisting as a Volunteer Coordinator was a really fun experience, and a great way to see the other side of the event. (Next time you're at a FIRST competition, be nice to the people with the headsets- and speak slowly! It's really hard to listen to you when we have voices in our ears too. ) The energy and excitement in the arena was fantastic- I don't think I've ever seen so many people that excited over a regional competition- and I've been going to events since I was two! Blue Man Group was a great treat- especially incorporating the Orbit Ball into their setup; that's something that nobody else gets! I hope everyone in attendance can take home a special memory like that from Boston. I know I will.

Thanks to the Boston Regional Planning Committee for putting together a spectacular event. I'm definitely going to try to keep Boston in my schedule for next year.
