In that case, someone's going to have to pass the hat around for a plane ticket and room in Manchester--the finances (and a little bit of team structure this year) are keeping me in Colatown for kickoff.

(By the way, a piece of advice to all those who haven't gone to Manchester for Kickoff before: Go. It's something you have to do at least once in your time in FIRST.)

<edit>Wait--how are teams going to play Whack The Billfred? There's five regionals going on at once, and only one of me (thankfully, some would say). And I kinda have to take classes and such. I sense a red herring.</edit>
