Re: Hotel Fun

we just do massive halo parties, run amok in the hotel, stay up most of the night (i went into both phoenix and houston regionals with no sleep--not a problem for me) and watch lots of pirated movies. it also helps if you have a complex hotel though, that way you can wander and do what you want.

Re: Hotel Fun

we went outside to the parking lot in freezing weather (we're from s.fl, give us a break) and played hackey-sack between the...10 of us? it was interesting because i think we made fun of each other more than anything (only 2/10 of us could actually play) -- when we got inside it took me about 10 minutes to fully defrost. quite interesting. it's not the crazy stuff other people did on this thread but i don't think you have to necessarily be crazy to have a good time.

Re: Hotel Fun

Our team always has meetings at night after dinner and then we just hang out in our room. I played Catch Phrase with a few of my team members one night and if there is a hot tub and pool, we always try to go swimming and relax in the hot tub. We also play hacky-sack. It is so much fun to play hacky-sack with my team and we have some people who are really good at it!

Re: Hotel Fun

Each night, we watch horror movies. We sometimes stay up sooooooo late. I don't usually stay up, I just wait until my sleeping pills start to work. I have to take sleeping pills because I have to get some S L E E P! Well the last night we stayed, I overslept and I walked out into the hotel halway with bedhead and everyone just looked and laughed...yeah, that was a long day...

Re: Hotel Fun

...and in regards to Curfews we usually have a curfew between 10 and 11pm, where Mrs. P walks around and does room checks to make sure no one is where they shouldn't be. we're more than welcome to stay up past curfew, but we've got to stay in our rooms. generally though, by that time of night on Friday and Saturday, we're exhausted and we end up getting mad at Mrs. P for waking us up for room checks.

oh, how could i have forgotten to mention this!!!!!! -shame on me- when we went to New York last year, we got boxing gloves, and there were several little matches between people... it was quite amusing to see students vs. mentors in a "clean" boxing match... i think we even brought them to atlanta last year too, but i dont really rememember them so much as i remember that we had two of our students bring their fencing gear to the Omni! they actually fenced in the lobby, and the security guards came around and didnt even say anything, they were enjoying watching the boys spar as much as we were! (we actually brought a pair of bokken too... but unless you know what you're doing those have alittle more liability attached to them so we didnt really use them that often... but in one of the hallways in the Omni was where i was first taught how to fence! good thing fencing is a linear sport, or else theres no way we would have had enough room...) Hotel security didnt seem to mind, which is good, and no one got hurt, which is even better!

Re: Hotel Fun

welllll on team spam we do have a 11:00 closed door curfew, but that doesnt stop us from having fun in the room eg..
Also, we have HALO and DDR along with our infamous STOMP ( the game at the Palmetto Team social if u were woundering what we were doing)
After the team meetings we are let loose to do pretty much what ever untill 11. so usually the LAN cables are duct taped down between rooms, and the wifi networks go up...

Yeah, we kinda had a curfew...well, the girls anyways cause our chaperone wanted us back in our own hotel room at a certain time..usually not past midnight, so we would just stay up in our room. Hotel was still fun though, would usually spend time in the boys hotel room cause there was game cube and ps2. Would play lots of SSBM, haha...and just hang out and stuff. Yep.

oh but that almost beat what we had in one of the hotel rooms for a couple of nights, we had a xbox, halo2, 4 controllers, and a projector! yeah it was awesome playing on a screen bigger than 8 of the hotel Tv's
projectors are so amazing

Re: Hotel Fun

The biggest thing was this year for us was at the peachtree regional. This didn't really happen in the hotel, but think what happened in the hotel after these events... Our basketball team (Wheeler High School) had just made it to the semi-finals by defeating number 6 in the nation South Gwinett 84- 80. We knew we would win now, they were the team to beat. After working on the robot all day thursday most of us went to the semi-final game. Blowout 78- 50. On to the state championship. In the state championship on friday night we defeated Norcross 63- 47 (i believe #11 in the nation). The thing about our school is that we are considered the rowdiest fans in the state. Even though it was far away we turned out as many fans as the teams from near the place. On thursday because the game was early we were given an early release day (of course we were at robotics, but for the rest of the school). This capped off a tremendous season for our team. Making things even better was that the next day we won chairman's award at the regional for the second year in a row. Other events we've had are a few wrestling matches and of course some great pranks, plus the typical robotics halo tournaments with a few xboxes in multiple rooms hooked together (im not personally as into that, but many peaople really seem to enjoy it).
