Ooh, maybe I can use some of my old clowning skills again!

I love the idea of new non-FIRST people on the GDC.

Its cool to see someone from Las Vegas on the GDC! Congrats Calum!.

Does this apply to coaches? Please say no.

That said, I second Andy's optimism--folks with an eye for what is camera- and spectator-friendly is a great thing. (It was dark days for anyone trying to auto-expose action on the field this year. Seriously, my iPhone couldn't adjust for it.)

SHHHHHHHHHHH! We weren't supposed to tell them that! Next thing you know, they'll find out that they'll only have a choice of tights, or kilts...those can be the new replacements for the operator badges Coaches get to wear habits, and safety captains...well, we can put them in frilly pink dresses. Oh the irony.

Congrats to Paul and Calum! I can't wait to see what you guys come up with. It will certainly be nice to see some new ideas coming from the GDC (err, of course, it also means that if we all end up disliking the game this year, we know who to blame [: ), especially from people outside of FIRST

[Andrew Schreiber]

This is good news, fresh blood on the GDC means longer until we have a real flop of a game. Hope those people realize what they got themselves into though.

Everyone knew it was coming. Has Paul filmed underwater?

*starts yelling incoherently*
BAD IKE! No Water Game!

Oh God, just what we all need to see. You know the phrase "What has been seen cannot be unseen" ? Yeah, that applies here, please don't EVER think this is a good idea. The mental images are horrifying enough. Especially since some of the mentors would join in the ummm fun? No one, I mean NO ONE, wants to see Andy Baker in tights. (No offense Andy)

That phrase also applies to the image of Andy Baker in tights. Heidi, do you have any photoshop for us? [:
*tries to bash image out of head with hammer*

Though it could be worse...it could be a mental image of Dave Lavery in tights. (No offense Dave)

I'll stop taking the thread off topic now :/

*8-26 btw.

Sounds cool. Welcome new members of the GDC!

You know that they don't really have a clue. They may think so, but only direct involvement with FIRST can do that. I've been in for four years and still am not quite sure what I am in for.

It's bad luck just saying a thing like that...

Dare I remind you all we've already seen Sister Baker? Ballerina Baker can't be too far behind....

Ooh- Ooh- maybe those wonderful dollmakers from 148 could make Andy Baker dolls with interchangeable outfits. There could be Policeman Baker, Construction Worker Baker - you could have your own Baker Village People!
