Dave Lavery @ Kickoff hilarious!

[Paradox1350]

I'd like to stick up for Dean too. Yes, he can be boring, but he always makes a good point. Are they the greatest thing to listen to? No. Do I find them a pain? Personally, I don't. I see FIRST as a catalyst for change, and hearing the founder of FIRST say that that IS it's purpose is always nice to hear.

But that's just how I feel.

And either way, back on topic, I've decided that I look forward to Dave's speaches. Over my two years in FIRST, all they do is keep getting better ^_^

you're right; every year, Dean's speeches get better. in the process, he's also teaching people to be patient.

As surprising as it was to see him not come out on his segway, I would think it would be like "What the crap is happening?" if he showed up with a suit on. Does anyone have a picture of him in a suit? Does he even own one? What would he wear to a funeral? Or his own funeral? Just a few funny thoughts to ponder.

haha thats actually pretty funny to think of... o.o; i cant really picture him in a suit... that would make everything seem too.. official. i think hes trying to stay away from that, and keep first more casual-ish..

Because it's Photoshopped, maybe?

Whoever photoshopped it went to a lot of trouble to add his trademark briefcase on the wheel.

Not to mention the shadows....

Meh, this isn't the place to mock the physical intricacies of the man that is Dean Kamen. Take it elsewhere.

There actually is a picture of him in a tux floating around. Not sure where exactly though

I must agree that I always look forward to Dave's speeches. I haven't heard very many (I'm new to this), but I greatly enjoyed the "How I spent my winter vacation" speech last year at the Chesapeak regional. mmmmm Mars.........
