Atlanta Web Hug!

[Joe Matt]

Yes, it's that time of the year again! It's time to think about getting together for a nice hug in Atlanta. When? What time? I'm thinking Saturday because we have a defined lunch that day, we can meet then.

PS, If you have an iPod, come and mabey we can get a huge photo of all of the iPod owners and uploading it to the ipodlounge.com iPods Around the World gallery!

The webhug has always been on Thursday for a few reasons.

First is because Thursday is the least intense day. Yes, some people have to miss it for practice matches, but some people would miss it friday, and even more would miss it saturday, with that whole strategy thing

Second is that if you meet people on Thursday, you have a chance to hang out with them Friday and Saturday. It doesn't do you any good to meet people right before you leave.

Umm.. what's a webhug?

(Yeah, I've never been to nationals )

This is the event at the Nationals where all the persons that seem to live on these forum's get a chance to see each other face to face. We have such a great community of FIRST people that it is quite exciting to share a few moments and a "Hug" to start the competition. -- Mike Martus

We'll post an announcement on the main portal page when we come up with a date/time we will be having it.

Brandon said "live in these forums" I was wondering if there was an eticate thing to deal with activity on the forums. I am fairly new and not uber active /looks up at post #/ . So i was wondering are all delphiers invited or is it just the more active ones. *wow i sound like a super newb - no offense- just curious in a not knowing because of lack of experience manner* Anyway if i can go i will try to find time with driving and all. /frowns, doesn't look good/
Thanks

That, umm... looks like last year's field.

Anywho, was their even a webhug last year?? I didn't hear anything mentioned in Houston and don't remember seeing anything here about it either. If there was, I wasn't there.. :-(

Thursday is good, but maybe later in the day so you can get an announcement made hopefully. I know previous yers that FIRST was hesitant of announcing it (I'm personally wondering why, since they seem to be touting these forums more and more on the website, and also at kickoff thanks to Dave Lavery.)

Maybe signs could be made up and hung very early Thursday morning, or even maybe Wednesday night if we could get acces to the arena (doubtful) - At least hang some signs up at the front doors or entrance somehow.

If volunteers are need to help with this, I'm sure some people from these forums would be willing to help.

Hopefully see you all there.

*mind wanders* Big sign in our pit, team members waving big sign thruout pits, sandwich sign "I'm going to a special webhug event!!!"

There was one, if I remember correctly it was between the two stadiums near some big Flag poles.

Anyone can go, some people do some dont. I know i missed it in past years but this year i am excited about meeting everyone (i can). If you have the chance i would suggest anyone to try to come, i have found it awesome to meet other FIRSTers and see what they are like, maybe you will mke some new friends.
