Hi all,
As the season draws to a close I just want to say thank you to everyone involved at River Rage...though there were control problems and the DJ backed out, I would say that as a whole the competition was a success. Special thanks to team 811 for using the boom box on their cart to provide as much music as they could, and also to everyone who wasn't bashful when I went up to them with the microphone. Also I want to say great job to all the teams who attended. It was a very exciting competition down to the bitter end. I can't wait for River Rage 7!!!

Finally I just want to send out a big thank you for everyone who has supported me in my play by play efforts. Especially teams 140, 131, 501, 95 and 40 for letting me do play by play in the competitions they put on. You guys are a blast to work with and have been amazingly supportive. And also a big thank you to the BAE Systems teams 151 and 166 for throwing my name out to the organizers of the Granite State Regional for the announcing job. Though I haven't recieved the job yet, the support you guys have showed me has been amazing and even if I don't get the job, I am truely honored by your efforts. Thank you to everyone!

With that, I wish everyone a happy halloween, thanksgiving, merry x-mas, and happy new year!
