FIRST Tailgating

[Jeff Waegelin]

We'd be up for something at GLR or West Michigan... I heard someone mention those two regionals.

[Aaron Lussier]

I can bring a grill and Space heater for NH.

And yes Andy, you are a big Momma's boy.

I can see it: Bright, sunny Southern California day outside the LA Sports Arena. 80 degrees. Hibachis, lawn chairs, suntan lotion...

Aye James, I'll see you at the Peachtree bright and early with hot dogs and sausages for that grill. (And if that goes well we could head up some stuff at Championships. I'm sure there are some grills & bebeque places in Metro Atlanta that would be willing to help sponsor this with good food, but catering food to the parking lot might get on FIRST's nerves, so a power breakfast in Centennial Olympic Park might be better (of course it might be more funjust to cook it all ouerselves, but we'll give the tailgaiting breakfast a trial run when I see you in Gwinnett on March 19)).

Except for the people who drive down from San Jose to volunteer who will be inside, working.

PS This year's pilgrimage to LA has not been confirmed, but I think it's very possible.

[Ashley Weed]

I believe this could be one of the biggest energizing events added to the FIRST environment. I may just be tempted to travel to a Regional this year to see it take place. The faces on locals would be worth a million dollars as they make their morning commute!

Cyber Blue will be at Chicago and hopefully Atlanta.
We have a few of the Thermos "Grilles to go" that we will bring along.

Maybe Ritchie will donate a cow and we can supply the steak half of Steak & Eggs!!!!!!!!!!

PS for everyone - those grilles are great for travel - they fold small and
the LP is the small propsane bottles that are easy and safe to transport.

Tailgate at the Georgia dome? People will think the Bulldogs are playing, RIGHT ON!

[Anne Shade]

We'll be there for Peachtree too!!!


One thing about Championship though, there is no large parking lot and we couldn't do it in Olympic Park since the GWCC caterer also is the exclusive caterer for the park. We'll have to find a spot but it may not be on site. Just thought I would pass on the warning.

[Joe537]

Our teams been doing that for years.

[MissAbi]

Our team would totally be up for that at GLR. Those whod like to plan one at GLR e-mail me at queenabi@yahoo.com . We can put together a comittee and start planning this thing.
