Snoop Dogg in ATL?

Phantom Tollbooth?

The bonus points have been claimed.

Just to be clear: I have nothing against rap, rappers, or any other musicians/genres, provided that their lyrics/stage acts are reasonably clean. Rap has a reputation for not being reasonably clean. Not having heard Snoop Dogg or many other rappers, to the best of my knowledge, I choose to err on the side of caution.

I'm with Nawaid and Aniba. Art, Travis, Joe, Akash, and some others might remember that a few years ago (I think it was around 2003-2004), someone got a video of Will Smith talking about technology, directed towards FIRSTers. I would guess that something similar is afoot, or else that Snoop Dogg was thinking about going to another event in Atlanta (of which there are most likely several that would attract him in their general direction as strongly as FIRST would). Kind of doubt that there would be a performance.

Personally, I think the surprise is that the Finals/Awards ceremony will actually end on time this year.

Last time i checked, they use a new pristine field for Einstein. With all the field troubles that we have had through the regional process. I would gladly put money up against that statement any day.

I think it would be more reasonable to say that by the time the Einstein teams get to the finale after packing up their crates. The fireworks show will be over...

Oh and didn't FIRST have Mandy Moore in 2002 for the Finale?

Correction: DISNEY had Mandy Moore in 2002. Half of the people rushed to see her play, the other half, including me, rushed to Epcot to get food and get on attractions.

There's lots of "I don't listen/don't know Snoop's lyrics" comments here. THANK JEBUS FOR GOOGLE!

Check it out and tell me if you think he'll end up performing.

I really hope that Snoop Dogg does not end up playing at the Dome and it if he does show up it is just as a special guest and not as the main attraction.

I looked at a few of the more recent ones. No way, no how on performance. (I counted at least 4 words that a number of folks would take offense to, appearing multiple times.) I don't think you'll be eating any shoes anytime soon, Joe.

I'll add an offer to shave my head to Joe's shoe-eating offer if he performs at any FIRST event.

I think we can say that wasn't the surprise.

On a side note: Anyone down there want to share with us back home what the surprise was.

I wasn't at Championships this year, so I didn't get to see the surprise. Was it the rumored 2Pac appearance? Maybe next year they could even get the Notorious B.I.G. to perform. That would be amazing in more than one way!

My friend's dad used to be his bodyguard.
Maybe he can hook something up to perform in st. Louis.
