I believe Greg Ross did that also.

Is there an alternative place to gather just in case it rains?

[KathieK]

I'm thinking that the area in mind is somewhat sheltered... But if I remember correctly, if you go up the escalator and into the building that housed the other convention last year, there was a large area just beyond the doors that could house us. (Can't check on map since FIRST website won't load).

[DUCKIE]

the planned meeting area is the open grassy area where they had the car-tent and the huge FIRST banner... I don't think there is much there in the form of rain-protection, but i could be wrong. Either way, there is a huge amount of open area in the GWCC-C building... their website claims they could fit the titanic in one of the hallways. If you want to check building C out I recommend GWCC Virtual Tour

By the way... I already <3 the pit area on the 1st level.

If it rains, we'll have someone out there (even if it has to be me) pointing you in the right direction.

Hmm. I wonder if I could get Internet access quick enough and make the text page reminder state any location changes. Hmmmmmm.

Thanks Sara.

Sadly, I won't be able to make the championship or the webhug this year. My team will be there but I will be enjoying myself here in the Czech Republic.

Oh, and if anyone is interested here is the only picture of my nametag I have access to. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/at...achmentid=2053 It was created using mspaint and color printer. And worn using a pinned nametag holder aquired from some event.

Although, I like the "Hello, My Name Is" a lot too. We had a stack of them in our band room. I really think people would be a lot more friendly if everyone wore nametags.

We can get you a bright rain jacket that says follow me to the webhug

[Scythe]

Alas, if someone sends me a text I get it several hours to 4 months later...don't ask.

I didn't know about this last year, but it sounds fun...I'd like to attend this year.

[Damian Manda]

I'll be there, probably the only one from my team, but I'll see what happens.

With all the talk of people needing reminders or forgetting to go, is there any possibility that it could be announced in the pits and on the fields 15-20 minutes before the web-hug? Then everyone would hear about it, and more people might show up; for example if they haven't heard of it yet this year, but went last year and knew what it was.

[Ian Curtis]

If I remember correctly that has been tried before and FIRST declined.

Ian is correct. This has been tired before, and they've declined for certain reasons, and Brandon has brought it up.


Has anybody considered making a sheet that has the webhug info, and hanging it on one of the balconies? I look up there all the time...

[Kyle Love]

Reminder to everyone! The webhug is on Thursday at noon! Cya all there!

[Heretic121]

about 97.8 hours till webhug!?!

[Pin Man]

I hope I can make it this year...

hope to see everyone there!
