The Spectacular Return of the BEANTOWN BLITZ

[Brandon Holley]

ChiefDelphi,
I am proud to announce the return of the Beantown Blitz!!

The Blitz had to take a year off due to renovations at the arena where the Blitz is held. The arena is done and looks fantastic, so it is time for Beantown to shine once again!

Mark it on your calendars...

May 22nd
Matthews Arena, Northeastern University
Boston, MA, 02115


We are going to be making this event bigger and better than ever! We want YOUR suggestions of what you like or don't like at off-season competitions. May 22nd may seem far off, but it will be here before we know it.

More posts and emails will be sent closer to the date with information on how to register/volunteer/check it out, but we just want to make sure everyone knows that on May 22nd, the BEANTOWN BLITZ will make its return!

We look forward to seeing you there...

Awesome! I've marked the "Gus" calendar. Team 228 has always had a great time at Beantown, going all the way back to when the trophies were bean pots!

Brandon, the only thing I can suggest to improve the event at the moment is to schedule some nice weather now!

I think almost every Beantown I've been to has had less than perfect weather except one. Although the award for worst weather ever goes to Battlecry a few years ago. Talk about soggy robots!

Since this was posted only a few days ago, I think you should send a message to that email.
