Mark Leon is the man, on and off the field. Anyone who hasnt talked to him off the field at an event definitely should.

Who is that NASA robotics guy? The one who did the PNW Regional last year. Let me go look, I thing I got his signature......... Hmm. It is quite illegible. Anyway that guy is awesome, hope he does it again.

You'd be talking about Mark

[Alaina]

Mark Leon IS the man. I was so happy when I found out he was MCing at Cal Games this past October. (I was having a bad day, but once Mark showed up it got progressively better!)

He's just another one of those people who puts the I in FIRST.

In case it hasn't been said enough before, Mark Leon ROCKS. He was awesome at Sacramento, and even better on Curie in Atlanta. I hope he'll be at both events again this year... the man has an amazing amount of energy.

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

I want to be like Mark Leon when I grow up. I think .

Besides the famous types, what do you guys think of the awesome announcers that haven't done as many events, but put their all into everything they do?

I'd love to see one of those at the events I'm at.

I believe the Finger Lakes MC is going to be Paul Copioli.

[Swan217]

Paul sends me to deny the above rumour, but add that he WILL be MC at Detroit and announcing at Great Lakes.

Chances are good that Steve W will announce at Detroit and that Dave Verbrugge will MC at Great Lakes again, but I can neither confirm nor deny either of these.

[Jeff Waegelin]

Maybe Dave Verbrugge will make it out to Finger Lakes? There aren't any Midwestern regionals that week, so it's a possibility.

Does anyone remember who the announcer was for "Newton" @ Nationals last year. I remember Big Mike telling me that he was a last-minute fill in, and volunteered to do it because he was an announcer for the Georgia Dome. That guy was "animated" to say the least!

Do you mean Sir Charles? The "Oh baby, their going for da hook up!" guy?

[Kyle Love]

I hope Dan Green is an announcer at MWR or Boilermaker...although it would be hilarious to see DJ Fluck be the MC at Boilermaker

Yep, that's him.

I believe that I was one of the very few who really liked that guy. In fact for a while I captured some of his phrases and used them as system sounds for my computer.

Also, I believe that Dave Verbrugge will be announcing at:
For sure: GLR, Buckeye
98% sure: West Michigan
And: EITHER Newton or Einstein

Don't count on my word for the other-than-100%-sure ones.

I like Dave announcing for the two days of Newton a lot better than Sir Charles (I thought it was a fun change, for one year), but it was really awesome to have him announcing of the Einstein Field! But, I am a little biased.
