Re: Sneaking Pizza in

Re: Sneaking Pizza in
We found that rules were being enforced unequally in NJ.
Noisemakers: We left ours at home as we had decided to follow the rules. Imagine our disappointment when several other teams had noisemakers with them on Thursday? On Friday we asked if we could use our party noisemakers (it's our birthday year) and were told that small noisemakers were allowed but that loud ones would not be (Air horns, etc.). There were water bottle drums and air horns being used. By Saturday we had made some empty water bottles into noisemakers and used them. Food: Prices were awfully high ($4.50 for a pretzel? C'mon!). The venue was VERY hot and dry and most of our team was in need of water. Thursday food was not being allowed. We had two cars with our team and took team members to McDonald's down the street. We made other arrangements for lunches on Friday and Saturday. FIRST is in a bind because we all understand that they have to abide by the rules of the venue and the prices of the vendors. However, teams are having sponsors cut back on funding at the same time that travel costs are rising. We are holding fundraisers year-round but how many fundraisers can a town support (there are car washes, candy sales, etc. etc. every time you turn around)? We have a large team and have not moved to the concept of a "travel team" because we want everyone to have the experience of a FIRST competition. But we also went around to our students and made sure they were eating by Saturday because we worried they didn't have enough money with them to be able to buy lunch and dinner! |

Re: Sneaking Pizza in
Huzzah for VCU students who were not searched on their way into the Siegel Center!
And for crowded pits, preventing the bossy lady from yelling at us for eating in the pits. We can eat KK fast. ![]() Wetzel |

Re: Sneaking Pizza in
One of our mentors is in the army and he brings MRE's everywhere. He says they taste really good too. I've never tasted them myself but I've heard they taste like crap from other people...

Re: Sneaking Pizza in
Haha, we ordered pizza to the parking lot on the first day (at NJ), till they made an announcement specifically stating that that wasn't allowed.... so for the rest of the time, we just snuck pizza and subs in for the pit crew and comp team and everyone else just ate pizza randomly on the sidewalk. I don't think I've ever been so happy to see mushy up pepperoni pizza in a paper bag

Maybe Rich Wong can get ahold of the Coordinators and work somethig out next year b/c It's entirely not fair to have to be forced to buy expensive food at the arena that you can eat by the field and your only other alternative is to walk a pretty far distance to a fast food place order and have to eat it outside with having no tables and small benches. :-( other wise the arena and how they situated the field and pits was cool and neatly spaced. :-) MRE's are cool just add water and let it cook for maybe 5 minutes or so (no microwave or stove just pure nature doing the cooking) . I like when my uncle brought them up from georgia for me. However in some cases. different MRE's have different outcomes on the body. Some will make you wish you had a bathroom hitched to where your sitting. Others can leave you gassy :-( Last edited by mtaman02 : 08-03-2004 at 22:31. |
