This is fun.
There are a LOT of fun connections.
Everything is interconnected.

Wayne from 395 is actually an EMT at Columbia with my little brother.
Also... Wayne and I coached together (395 + 229) and were shown on the TechTV special together.
Wayne also met and talked a bit to my father at the NYC regional this year!

Gah...

John -

Shut up. You're ruining our fun and killing the thread. They're supposed to ask YOU for these connections. Dork.

Oh, shoot. And while I'm at it....

I, Amanda Morrison, met John Boucher at Nats this year. John's son's name is Ted Boucher, whom I have never met, but I have met his sister Jess Boucher at IRI this year, when she was my roommate with Tom Schindler. Tom Schindler loves his Segway, as does Dave Ferreira. They've even Segwayed around Boston together. Dave also taught me to ride a Segway (perhaps that's why I'm not so good? ) I once stole Dave's gloves (on accident) at Kickoff, and met him there through Andy Baker. Andy Baker sometimes looks like as much of a dork as JVN.

Here's one with no FIRST people as the six degrees.

Does anyone remember that sad washed up rapper Snow? He was the one who penned the horrible song Informer. Well, he dated a roommate (who shall remain nameless for her sake. I mean who wants the entire internet to know that you dated a horrible rapper. I mean, it's not even like she was a Jay-Z groupie) of my ex-girlfriend (who shall also remain nameless). But yeah, I had a friend who dated Snow. In 2001 both Snow and the Barenaked Ladies won MuchMusic Video awards, (the award show was canceled due to the aftermath of 9/11.) The Barenaked Ladies recently performed at the 2004 NHL All-Star Game. While at the game, the "Ladies" met the best young player in the NHL today, Jerome Iginla. Jerome plays with the Calgary Flames, who came within a game of bringing the Stanley Cup back to Canada. The Calgary Flames lost to Tampa Bay in game 7 of the Cup finals, 2-1. The lone Calgary goal was scored by Craig Conroy. Craig Conroy played his college hockey in the late 80s at Clarkson University, the home of Team 229 and the illustrious John Vielkind-Neun.

To summarize

Me --> 1. My Ex-Girlfriend --> 2. Her Roommate --> 3. Snow (Washed up rapper) --> 4. Barenaked Ladies --> 5. Jerome Iginla --> 6. Craig Conroy --> John Vielkind-Neun
