(with a tear in the cornor of an eye) Oh the memories, the long days screaming for teams, sweating over robots ,scouting ,cheering, going horse,getting tan. I just can't wait to do it all again this year. 2 weeks and 2 days away

Oh man i rember all of that, we left when it rained that night and we knew it was going to flood, we were in a parking lot. And put everything up on tables and we had our crate in the pit so in and on top of that. We came the next mronign and there was a line about 6 inches up on everything.

I fondly rember the awards ceremony that took like 3 hours, then when mandy moore came on we all left. I felt bad, i dont liek walking out of peoples concerts even if they are some big recording act, but i did anyways it just took waaaay to long. I also rember from that night when we were leaving the every lasting EEEEEEYYYY that was going on under the spaceship earth. i think i started it bye making fun of some guy out there who was trying to call someone, but then again i might be wrong. I just remeber how loud it was then being at the pits and still hearing the echos of the yells. I think there is a thread on it somewhere.

While nationals at Epcot were GREAT I'm happy we moved on it was just too expensive and being outside was not great. Thats why there are no more competitions out side. I hope that Atlanta is better than houston was, and houston was pretty awesome.

I must admit, the only reason I saw any of the concert was because I was dsown by the stage getting the trophy for the animation award. Otherwise I would have been out of there.

We were handing out frisbees that year, and most of them went to people to prop boxes up on and get them away from the water. Oh the memories...

ahahahahahah i remember this so well!! i can so remember going outside during a brutal thunderstorm and seeing kids play frisbee.. this will be my 4th nationals in a row and I know it will be nowhere as good as my first two. Basically, disney owned. Transportation everywhere with the snap of your fingers, awesome food, awesome venue, awesome rides, awesome everything. I didn't care about paying extra for food either, disney just ruled.

Last year was a huge dissapointment for me, thankfully our team did well so I didn't really notice how much houston was a dropoff from disney.

comeon Disney and First, become friends again!!! we miss you!! sheesh.

[edit- more memories]

anyone see the kid pointing at the camera with his mouth open? dude reminds me of that skinny little kid on little giants..

at that exact awards ceremony my team was sitting behind a team.. maybe 56? who was throwing out sweet flexible frisbees- i still have mine in my room.. anyway, they would chuck them 100 yards down (we were at the top of the stands) and would try to hit people down. Hilarious stuff. I bet it wasn't so hilarious when people got hit, but it was entertainment.

The team behind us had about 10 bags full of pixty sticks. yep, behind us, so we got about 5 bags worth.

Man, i really do miss Florida. Florida ruled, pwned, owned whatever you want to call it. I can't put in words how much I miss florida... daisjdlsajdpsa.. anyone else feel this way?
