Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

I have been working at mcdonalds almost a year now and the other day a spetacular thing happened when i was off duty. I had on my team shirt and was eating and suddenly and older gentleman comes up and starts talking about his days in FIRST. then i found out that he was on the original team started back in 97 I believ. simply incredible.

Aww, geez, I hope he was a mentor. If someone on a 1997 team is an "older gentleman" I'd hate to think what that makes me!

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

well, i didn't actuallly MEET him, but my dad and i were driving through princeton, and i saw a student walking down the street.....wearing a FIRST shirt. i couldn't catch the number, we were driving by too fast.

technically, i guess this could go into the "overdosed on FIRST" thread because as soon as i saw it, i thought "OMG! I SHUOLD PUT THIS ON THAT CD THREAD!"

....oops.

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

A little while ago, I was at the library, when I saw a guy wearing our team hat. So I snuck up behind him and proceeded with "GIVE ME A D!!" He gave me a D, alright, and we almost got kicked out of the library. But we ended up in the library cafe discussing team goings-on for like an hour. It was awesome to meet an alum who was back in the area.

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

Was talking to a senior producer at the TV station in Toronto that I shoot for and was mentioning FIRST as a possible story/series idea etc etc, turns out his wife was in FIRST when she was in school, she is 29 now so she was I guess a FIRST FIRSTer? . It is a very small world.

I see tons of FIRSTers at math circles/competitions/programs, but I guess that's not too odd...

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

Ok...This is a little weird if you ask me...but, I was in (I think) North Carolina, coming home to PA from our vacation in Florida. And I had my chairman's award jaket on, and I was washing my hands when some woman comes up to me and says, I have been meaning to e-mail your team to congratulate you on you teams success this year, and I was thinking to my self ...Who is this woman and how does she know FIRST and where did she come from???...lol Apparently, she was with a Michigan team or at least she used to be!!!lol
So, that is my story of meeting FIRST people in odd places!!!lol

Talking Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

I go to a summer camp called SYMS for music geeks basically and I wore my First shirt and like 14 people came over and started talking about their ideas for next years game.
I guess First attracts band kids there are 10 musicians on or team and 7 of them are in our high school band

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

Our driver from last year works at a dock on the lake with a business that rents jet skiis and boats. A few weeks ago he was talking to a customer from Annapolis and mentioned that he competes with a team there every year, and that we did pretty well this year (didn't say anything about the team being a robotics team). She asked if he was on a robotics team, and how well exactly they did this year. When he told her we won, she said, "I knew I recognized you!" Apparently, we were on the cover of the Baltimore Sun and this woman was a parent of someone at Dulaney High School, 1727's school.

Re: Meeting FIRST People in odd places

Last night I went to a graduation party with my friend, not really knowing anyone who was there, including the person the party was for. As it turns out, the kid's older sister is dating someone who graduated from Platt Tech and was on team 905 for two years. When one of the adults asked me about my wristband and I started talking about first, he turned around and got right into the conversation, talking about how he'd watched his old team at competitions. and asking what I thought of this year's game. It made the party that much better!
