In Indiana where summer basket ball is big, you better reserve your gym early.

Wow! already? I'm there! I wonder what they'll say at work when I ask for a weekend off 8.5 months in advance.

[Pavan Dave]

Sweet! 2 weeks before I turn 18, I wonder what I will have in store for Indy!...I'm actually going to try booking tickets in Feb. I'll see if I can tour Canada while I'm up north too! Anyone else going to [try to] book early? ... When will you guys be looking for volunteers etc. and is it possible that mentors rounds will be back?

[Libby K]

If last year's IRI taught me anything, it's that I'm definitely making this a permanent part of my schedule.

If there's anyone debating going-- GO. It's amazing, and so worth the trip.
and this is coming from someone who took a 22 hour greyhound trip last-minute...

I'm already excited, and 2008 hasn't even begun yet.

Yes it is very worth the trip! Even if I didn't live only an hour away I would still go. I'm there!

The Trackballs are bigger than any basketball I've seen.

Sorry.. I couldn't resist the play on words.

I am so there, last time was amazing.

[Jimmy Nichols]

Chris,

I have marked my calender. I will be there, hopefully competing.

[techtiger1]

Team 1251 would love to be invited back as we had a great experience last summer. Will be great to see the great game overdrive played by some of the best, if nothing else I will be in attendance as a volunteer.

Looking forward to it ,
Drew

Ever been camping? LOL. In 2006 my dad and I went camping at the KOA, it was nice except for the rain. Otherwise, Motel 6's are cheap...
