IRI: Why do you come??

[Kit Gerhart]

Unfortunately, I didn't make it to IRI this year since I was at a World Championship model airplane contest.

My reasons for attending IRI's are similar to most others listed, including seeing friends, and being part of what is probably the best off-season FIRST-related competition going. It is an exciting and fun event, and usually provides matches which are better than the best at Nationals.

I missed seeing everyone, but will be there next year.

Me cries after reading the stories and seeing the pictures from this year's IRI event and realizing that a ton of you are people on my "to meet in FIRST" list.

Looks like more people on CD go to IRI than the Championship event, but I know this is just a false statement probably.

I am going next year.. But, could you move it closer to CT, so I can go between classes?? You could hold it in umm... Connecticut and we can call it CRI.. (pronounced Cry) - which is what I am doing now that I realized I missed out on seeing a great competition, a bunch of great people.. and more importantly, I missed Jess's cookies..



Hmm.. there is no crying smilie.. Brandon, get on that right away.. lol
