I noticed the big Marshall guitar stack first -- I never would've guessed it was for Mandy Moore's band! Needless to say ... I instantly pushed to the front row anyway and managed to get a wink from the pop star.

A popular singer is a popular singer ... who would want to miss that?

Me... I really didn't see all the hype about a teenager with extremely short hair singing- I had plenty of time going on many EPCOT rides while the park was open only to FIRSTers, although most of them stunk. (To all of you mandy moore fans, please don't take this as an insult, I wouldn't have stopped to listen to anyone)

seriously, though, I heard that someone was crowd-surfing during that concert and another person dropped the surfer, cracking their skull open.. and that this is why FIRST doesn't allow dancing anymore- truth or a myth?

Truth though I thought he broke his neck plus he had a full scholarship. Also I don't know if it was at nationals.

I heard this too, but I know it didnt happen at nationals that year. I actually heard that it was at the New York regional.

some how this thread went from "is FIRST going to be on MTV?" to "did some kid die at a FIRST comp"... still amusing though

And here I was thinking MTV was there to follow me around. Thanks for raining on my parade...

Buckeye at the Rock n' Roll HOF. I didn't know if his skull got cracked open but he was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. FIRST told u slast year no dancing at the afterparty. And I thought the ROck n' Roll HOF was already a drag. No way I'm going back there.

continuing on that tangent...during the team party in the Saturn V exhibit at the KSC regional 2 years ago, a kid ran full speed into one of the steel struts that held up the rocket while playing ultimate frisbee. they had to call an`ambulance for him, and word on the 'street' was that he dislocated his shoulder

Well, I guess this just proves one thing.

MTV=Pain.. Especially when I have to listen to that bubble gum pop garbage!

Am I the only one who doesn't know what True Life is? Is it another one of those MTV 'seasick camera man' shows? If they could hold the camera still a bit more, maybe I'd be able to watch the channel for more than 3 minutes
