People i want to meet at nationals

[Amanda Morrison]

Wow... I'm really honored. That's quite a list you have there, and it means a lot to be on it! Hunt me down. I'll be... a little of everywhere, really.

Take a hint from everyone else... JVN isn't that great to meet. He's more of a pain in the butt - if I were you, I'd avoid him all together. And DJ? Don't even worry about it.

I decided to make my own list. What the heck? I could make a 'people I'd like to see again' list, but that would go on for pages and pages. I've met far too many great people in FIRST.

People To Meet
Joe Johnson
Paul Copioli
Chris Hibner
Andy Grady
Chris Fultz

[ngreen]

Yeah. There are definitely several people that have gained my respect. So called FIRST demi-gods that would definitely be worth meeting but then again last year I got to shake Dean and Woody's hand in front of everyone. That was awesome. I at least didn't wash the hand for several days. I'm planning on going to some of the workshops (college FIRST and pneumatics..oh yeah!.) and some of the presenters would be great to meet. One a side note I talked with two dean's of my college yesterday and they were quite interested in the program. So I might have to step up my efforts to get FIRST here.

I would enjoy meeting most people on this forum. I should have been more proactive when I was at St. Louis aka Prank Monkeys -amanda , Apple Corps - katie, and cooney robotics - ricky, and probably others.

Hopefully I'll at least make the webhug in ATL.

[Rob Colatutto]

This years webhug is starting to sound like it will be really good. I've never actually made it to one before seeing as how I was always driving the robot during them in 02 and 03. When anyone meets John, be sure to ask for a 229 button, you may get lucky (or horribly terrified) and get one with his face on it

In any case, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again in Atlanta this year, should be a great time.
P.S. - Be warned, DJ is an interesting person to drive with in large groups.

It's sortof funny...I ended up meeting some of these people at the Midwest Regional...and didn't even realize it until a couple days after.

[Marygrace]

I hope to meet anyone and everyone from Chief Delphi, I have already met Dave and Dean, both awesome and hilarious, so I cant wait to meet Woodie Flowers!! See everyone at nats!!!

[Ryan Albright]

OMG I FORGOT DAVE LAVERY! YA I WANT TO MEET HIM TO

Brandon if you are walking around the pits maybe you can head your way over to 710's pit cause that's were i will be most of the time

[Steve Horn]

I met Dean my freshman year-he signed my shirt at a regional. If you want to meet me, I will probably be at the 782 pit for most of the weekend or in our section of the stands watching matches (wherever that will be)

*hopefully i will be able to see all if not most of you at the CD web hug when we decide on a place

[Wetzel]

Yay I made someones list of respected people.

That said, I have no idea what I will be doing or where, but I will try to keep a piece of ducktape with my name on it on my back.

Also, any photoshop wiz wanna pull together a CD Nametag template? A quick search will yield previous efforts.

Any way to have a web based app add my name so that I don't have to putz in PS to make it have my name printed on it would be stupendous.

Mr. Ross had a really cool idea in this post.

I wonder how many of those would come out with "I am JVN" on them...

[sanddrag]

It's funny. You ask any normal student to quickly name a celebrity and they say Britney Spears or Justin Timberlake or Beyonce but you ask us and we say Dean Kamen or Dave Lavery or Andy Baker. Strange how FIRST has transformed us.

Wow... I am speechless. wow. Dave, thanks. To even say my name with these two guys is not fathomable to me.

I will be galavanting around all weekend, trying to meet as many people as possible while also trying to help my team win this silly competition. I'll definitely be at the webhug.
