IRI: Why do you come??

[IMDWalrus]

I'm going...because I am. This is the first time that 818 has gone, so it's a new experience for me. I'm just hoping that we aren't humiliated too badly in competition and that we can have fun while we're down there.

I go because everyone else goes!

(No, I'm not giving into peer pressure...)
I'm going because of the people who will be there. It's always fun seeing old friends, and meeting new ones.

Oh, I thought you were going because there will be like 15 people with the same name as you. LOL.

I go for the same reason as John: the people. That, for me, is what IRI is about... meeting people, and enjoying being part of the great FIRST community. Plus, I get to have Dan and Paul make fun of me and the other referees. Can you say, "belly check"?

...because I haven't seen some of you in over 2 years, and most of you ever.
...because SigKap HQ is apparently "5 minutes away" (according to Brandon)
...because I owe a lot of people cookies
...because I've never flown past the Appalacians before

...that kind of stuff.

Because I have to.

No, really I go to IRI for the awesome competition and people who make it what it is. It'll be interesting to be doing music this year, hope you guys like Linkin Park
