Awww I'm sorry you and the other ppl on your team can't go. I wish that we where going to NYC too, but it's cool with all the stuff there telling us that where gonna do in San Jose I'm sure will have a nice time. Is your team going to Nationals?

[mtaman02]

Ok this is it.

The last 10 hrs b4 the NYC Regional begins. First off I hope all the teams there have an excellent practice run for thursday as well as those who have already competed :-) . Thursday I'm not sure what will be posted as far as stats are concerened. those who attend i'm sure will find something. The majority will probably be pictures.

Any pictures that I take will be posted on CD in bulk (Zipped files Under the names NYC Day1 Zip# "X" / NYC Day 2 Zip# "X" and NYC Day3 Zip#"X") These pictures will be posted as soon as I can get them off the camera and zipped and uploaded. These files are non exsistant and will exsist after 3/25/04 @ approx 8:30PM or later this is NYC Day1 pictures. NYC Day2 Pictures will exsist 3/26/04 @ approx 11:30PM or later. NYC Day3 Pictures will exsist 3/27/04 @ approx 8:30PM

All Times are subject to change w/o notice. All times are EST.

Regional Results will probably be posted through out the day pending teams who can find a dial up service. ..... - Mine will be the local library :-) If there is one in the area lol.

This thread is already full of non-relative NYC FIRST! Info so I bid thee good luck and Keep an eye on this thread and much more. Now as every FIRST-A-HOLIC like myself should be doing I'll be getting ready for the NYC Regionals. Almost said the NYC Lotto Jackpot. ;-)

[mtaman02]

Yes So Team 522 did win an award Awesome they deserve it. I was busy helping 334 with their drive train issues and was unable to make the award ceremony. And soon after that was on a bus to go home b/c of traffic related issues. Oh well maybe next year :-( *cries*. On a happier note I have pictures from both Day 1 and Day 2 BUT you probably won't see them up till Mid-Afternoon Day3. If your nice maybe Brandon will approve the zipped files quicker if asked.


Edit://
NOTE** I AM HAVING EXTREME DIFFICULTY IN UPLOADING THE REGIONAL PICS. I CONTINUE TO GET AN ERROR THAT IS IN THE PHP PROGRAM AND REQUIRES BRANDONS PRESENCE . SO UNTIL HE RETURNS FROM CHICAGO (HES OUT WATCHING A REGIONAL) I'LL SEE IF HE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
UNTIL THE PHP ERROR IS FIXED I HAVE DECIDED TO PLACE THE PICTURES ON MY SITE. YOU MAY DOWNLOAD THEM FROM THERE OR WAIT TILL THE WHITE PAPERS SECTION IS LOOKED AT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE!

PICTURES MAY COME OUT BLURRY OR DISCOLORED. I TRIED DELETING AS MANY AS I COULD !!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, there are more pictures, but some maybe embarrassing, too personal, and the "I wish I didn't do that" photos.

I'm missing the Social pics, someone else have to post them. (Mike? Mark? where are you)
The comedian was....
The Jazz Jam was good
The punk rock band .....(no comment)
The Step Teams were awksome!

BTW- NYC Regional challenges all the other Regionals to a 2004 photo gallery contest!
The most pics posted will be the winner. Simple rule: all pics must be from that regional! (Nats don't count)
