Trust me, your not the only one with this confusion. How do I apply for early membership into the GOM club? Perhaps I should ask IndySam for details.

I must say I'm pretty excited for this. It's going to be some great publicity for FIRST.

I'm struggling to bridge the gap between BEP and Rock and Roll. Just because a classic rock song is sampled in your tune doesn't make you a rock n roller.

I've decided to give up and just pretend to be enthusiastic about the whole thing.

We don't have a club, you'll know when you get there.


But this GOM is excited for this show. I can't say I enjoy there music but anything that puts FIRST in the spotlight can be good.

I actually heard an 30 second clip advertising this on Satellite Radio today. Cool Beans!

I recall there being several pre-taped bits during the breaks in the performances there (Jack Black and Snoop Dogg come to mind immediately--I've slept since). Perhaps they're in that group?

I was surprised to hear that over the weekend as well.

Managed to find this i.am.first site by accident. It has some quick interviews with some of the folks mentioned in previous posts and has a genuine countdown clock. I thought it was worth sharing.

I did a quick search and didn't see it mentioned anywhere else here but if it's already out there, sorry

Here's a picture of the email I just got from FIRST. Hopefully it worked better for other people.

[Mark McLeod]

It was supposed to look like this.

I actually disagree with Mr. Jack Black. I think that honor of rock star should go to Dr. Richard Feynman.

I was checking out articles online about the show tonight and I came across this one: http://www.teenmusic.com/2011/08/12/...m-first-scienc

At the bottom he says he's going to do it every year. Interesting.

Folks

Does anyone (who is willing to share with the rest of us (the final edit of the show has been in-the-can for a while now, I'm sure)), know if this show promotes all STEM programs (the many programs that all together are still falling short of what is needed) or only promotes FIRST?

I hope the core message doesn't get viewed only through a single lens or described from a single perspective. That would be a bit disingenuous and would lead viewers in the direction of wasting some valuable resources..

Many hands make work light and diversity is a source of strength.
