Yeah, that's just Justin! besides, he's jealous of AB's getting an invitation to sleep with the turtle. {I got one, too.)

Hahaha...I love this game.

let me answer you Justin...

1. Being able to go into the home of the New England Regional from 96-98 to see something FIRST related is always a plus.

2. Got me there, most of the time I try to avoid going. Usually its the aspect of seeing people I dont get to see often that drags me in.

3. HAHAHA, I hope my poor cat doesn't get confiscated by airport security.

4. How can you not love JD's? When you have 3 tables of teams who quite honestly have not gotten along very well in the past 10 years or so, all sitting around and having a good time...throwing fun little jabs at each other...hillarity ensues.

Re: Kickoff 2008 in NH - Who's going?

Looks like 30 minutes away in Mass. is the FIRST hotel:
http://www.usfirst.org/community/frc...nt.aspx?id=428

FIRST seems to be updating this page and adding links and info. while I watch.

P.S. I'd recommend the Wyndham over the somewhat seedy Econolodge.

Re: Kickoff 2008 in NH - Who's going?

Some of my best memories were at the NH Kick off. Great start to the competition.

However..... this year....

Cost containment and fewer coaches will prevent that from happening.....

I will miss all of you... great networking time.

Econolodge also has outrageously crooked floors, however the rooms are big and if your room is close enough to the office you can steal wifi.

I can only vouch for the accuracy of these statements as of the 2006 GSR

It's cold and beautiful in Boston!
The sunset is gorgeous!
Everyone talks really fast and is really friendly!

Gone sightseeing at Copley Square yet?



Anyways, from what I'm told I'll be staying right in downtown Manchester in the Verizon Areana neighborhood.
I don't know how we got rooms there with all this talk of no rooms near Manchester.
I'm not going to ask either though. (Or maybe I will) lol

Will anyone else be in that area this Friday night??

I ended up with an amazing rate for the Hilton Garden Inn for Friday Night. Don't know how that happened.

Re: Kickoff 2008 in NH - Who's going?

I wish I could go, I think it would be very cool to see it first hand instead of at a local kickoff watching the webcast. I am very happy we have the local kickoffs, but last year right as they pulled the curtain off the rack, the webcast stalled and you hear everyone gasping in the audience because they didnt think it would come back I would like to attend the real kickoff sometime in my FIRST years though.....
