Amanda Morrison ditzy? Say it ain't so!

(Now I definetley can't goto the WebHug, she already wants me dead)

I will try and be there, practice match schedule permitting.

[Steve Horn]

I will also try to be there. Hopefully I don't have a practice match then so I can come.

Is anyone interested in putting together a web hug scavenger hunt for an icebreaker? A list of stuff related to the Forums and a place for signatures, like:

1) Someone from team 111
2) Someone who has ridden a Segway
3) Someone who has played hacky sack with Andy Baker
4) Someone who has posted a Haiku in the Chit Chat Forum
5) The Real JVN

etc. - can't use the same person for more than one answer.

Obviously you have never been to a CD webhug before. In 2002, we all got together in a big circle and made a hugging motion towards the center, which is why we call it a webhug and not a forum gathering or something else as random as that.

Can't find any pics of the "hugging part" in the CD galleries, but trust me.. it happens.

There's been hugging at all the web hugs I've been to (all but the first one in 1999). We haven't done introductions in a number of years which I think was nice but I suspect it would take too long (maybe we can try anyway?).

Pics of 2002 Hugging...just scroll down a bit.

[Ryan Dognaux]

Made an appearance last year, it was pretty cool. Plan to again if I'm not scouting.

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

I have been told that I may have a spot given to me on my team's national list, which is fabulous. If I do go, I will be in there hugging everyone ^^. Many of you have probably met me...I dispensed hugs like a free vending machine at the MWR.

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

The more hugs the merrier. Everyone should give hugs. ALL THE TIME! *grin*
I'll volunteer to wear a sign and advertise the web hug!

[Brandon Martus]

We now have a location picked out.

Since some of the FIRST conferences start at 1pm, we figured we would have the web hug near that location so that people aren't late to any conferences they are attending.

Location: Near the entrance to the Georgia World Congress Center, Hall B.

Brandon,

Here is a map I found of the complex..

Where exactly is it?

[Wetzel]

The building labeled B is the building where the confrences will be held. I would assume there would be signage between the Georgia Dome and Hall B. Somewhere right inside the building where everyone is walking between the Dome and Hall B.

They won't, I hope, hide in some obscure corner.
