Last year, I had a blast at IRI. This year, I'm looking forward to it mainly because this is the chance for my little rookie team to compete against the 'biggest of the big dogs' (thanks to Dave Verbrugge for that one). It feels really good to know that this team got that far... so that's my number one reason.
And how could I ever pass up a chance to see Andy Baker, the Ritchies, David Kelly, Brandon Martus, Jeff Waegelin, Josh Hambright, D.J. Fluck, Erin Rapacki, Aaron Lussier, 'Big Mike', the Gilbert twins, and and the rest of the Chief Delphi celebrities? This is the most star-studded event of the year, so how could I pass?
I'm really excited, but I can already feel that drain... that overwhelming feeling of
I'm never going to get everything done in time...
