What do you do on Kick Off.

[Ken Leung]

People might ask me (actually they already asked me), why on earth are you going to New Hampshire again for this kick off, if you aren't part of any team, and live all they way across the country at California~?!?!

Well, for that question, I really have no answer, even with all the years of experience on the forum posting replies. I would've answered with "to see the playing field", but there will be field parts here in San Jose. I would've replied with "to attend the workshops", except all the great workshops seems to be located in Novi... I would've said "to meet all the great FIRST people", but then most of the adults/coaches are going to remote kickoffs.

So, I really don't know why I am going, except all I know is that the flight is 8am Thursday morning, and I have to be at the airport by 6am, and travel all day to get to New Hampshire by 8pm. I won't know what to do after I get to the Manchester airport, nor do I have any plans as for where to stay for 3 nights and 4 morning.

To say I am a team representative, I am not really one, and I won't be going to Dean's house anyway. To say I am a volunteer, I am not certain about that neither, since no one ever replied after I sent in an e-mail asking to be one.

But I do know that by Saturday morning, I will be all excited and talkative again. Oh yeah, and I am hanging out with Anton and/or Jessica after the game.

Anyone interested to join us? After all, I rarely show up among the FIRST-a-holics over that side of the country. So, should I look forward to some sort of FIRST-a-holics gathering during the period between Thursday night and Sunday morning? Any suggestions for where I can stay?

Anyway, the future is unclear, and my destiny unknown, but somehow I am looking forward to all these...
