Re: FIRST Finale Question

It may be too late in the game, but are there any teams we can piggy back 5 tickets off of? We just figured out our plans for going. PM me.

Re: FIRST Finale Question

I apologize if this is "old news", but I just noticed the sign about an hour ago: "Special appearance by Dean Simmons and the Kamen Brothers". Have they been playing the CMP since it moved to STL? Never saw them at Atlanta but did catch their gig at IRI in 2011. Highly recommended!

Re: FIRST Finale Question

I remember them from IRI. They alone are worth the price of admission!

Re: FIRST Finale Question

No idea if they actually played at the Finale or not. We didn't arrive until 8:30pm (for the usual reasons) and the best we could do was to fight our way in (using only methods that our grandmothers would approve of) grab some tortilla chips and popcorn and then get the heck out.

So again, is this a "oh man, you just can't miss this" kind of an event?
Wait? What are you paying for? I mean it can’t be the science center.

I am from a local team, so I guess since we didn’t stay in a hotel we missed this information. The science center along with many other Saint Louis altercations is Free to enter or a very reasonable price.(Science center, the zoo, and the forest park art museum are free, along with other things) So are you paying for the food, and/or other things invovled with FIRST?

Maybe there is not a good spot for such a large celebration in the St. Louis area.
That ball contraption has to be powered by that hamster wheel, and we all know not everything can be 100%.
The Museum as quite big, and holds up pretty well to big groups and plenty to do. I have been there many times over my childhood and every time I go I find something I didn’t see before. There is defiantly plenty to do for a day there.

Dean Simmons and the Kamens did not perform. Some members of the band got stuck at the dome for the late proceedings on Einstein and the resulting traffic exiting the dome.

As a roadie for the band, I know that they were putting together a great accoustic performance of a song very related to Ultimate Ascent. They have decided that they will try to fit that song into a future show (except that it will be with all instruments - not accoustic). As a side note, the song has nothing to do with shaving cream.

Re: FIRST Finale Question

got there late and after figuring out how the food worked and where it all was, all I saw was a guy playing guitar. he seemed to be a local performer and was okay, but after about three songs, time was up and they were kicking us out.

if the talent show happened, it was probably so early that anyone who stayed until the end on Einstein missed it.

that's always the problem with these post competition parties. they mean well and put together a good event, but there is just not enough time to do it right.
