Hmm.. Who wants to see that video of Kathie dancing the Cha-Cha Slide btw??
<hides>
Actually she does have something of mine that I left there so I don't think I can safely release the vid & get it back in one piece!
Just kidding.

Anyways, I had a great time at the first annual ConnVEX and want to congratulate everyone who participated in it from the teams to the volunteers to the staff.

There were many hiccups along the way, but I think the overall crew helped keep Kathie and everyone else sane along the day by helping wherever they could (from last minute room shifts, to room setup, to just chilling during lunch and taking in the event and the greatness as a whole.)
Everyone did there jobs, but also never forgot to have some fun along the way either.

To the ConnVEX planning crew: Give yourselves a big pat on the back.
It was an awesome event!!!!
Congratulations!

Here's to ConnVEX '07!

There's VIDEO of that??? Oh well, everyone in FIRST has to do the cha cha slide at least once per season to get it out of their system. Now I can go back to doing it in the privacy of my own car (if you see a red Jeep in CT swerving back and forth don't worry, it's just me doing the slide...)!

What else would you expect me to do with my relatively new camera than take random pics and vid of lots of people showing true FIRST competition spirit by acting crazy and having a good time!!!

This could lead to a really helpful instructional video -- Dancing With NEMO!

Can I try to do the slide with my truck?

Only if you are not transporting our competition fields in it! I forgot to say thank you to Bob for helping us on Friday afternoon/night bring the fields down to Connecticut!
