2007 New York City Regional

Competition Regional Competitions
#87

Awesome regional from what I saw yesterday, the space the that Javit’s center gives you gives you a lot of options to play with, and I know it’s minor, but the match queuing space being so large was really nice, I wish every regional was set up the way it was. I like the idea of 2 fields and more teams, that could be a lot of fun. Oh did anyone get to stop by the MAKE table? They ran a pretty big article on their blog, Pretty cool stuff I had fun and the teams looked good.

…and that was just the broom closet!!

Now that they have Javits, Manhattan will surely grow to double the size. They certainly have the room…

So if everyone could go ahead and NOT watch the video entitled Intermission I’d be very grateful…my dancing skills in that clip are pretty atrocious.

#98

But, but, the somersault…and…

OMG, It’s Libby Kamen!!! :cool:

thanks for the link!

#101

Like George said…DON’T watch that, thanks.

Not my fault Wayne dragged me out there.
No, literally, DRAGGED me. Anyone who was there knows what I’m talking about.

#102

the only bad part is the camera angle. The view of your flip was much better from where MORT was sitting :slight_smile:

Thanks to both you and Libby for being such great sports:)

Perhaps next years NJ FLL can have a flip and dancing? hint hint

#103

The things I do to entertain the crowd…I hope everyone enjoyed themselves…I know I did.

#104

George, you know we all appreciate you.

You and Wayne put on an AMAZING weekend. It was hands down, the best New York City regional I’ve been too, and for that…

I salute you! salutes :cool:

I have to admit that NYC was better than I thought, but George, did you like announcing at the NYC regional of the NJ regional more? I personally liked NJ because it has a greater crowd capacity. That was the one thing that the Javitz lacked. I have to admit that the extra space everywhere was really convininent, especially in the pits where you could spill over the back boundary and into the isle.

#106

Another question for you George. When did you discover that you had a talent for announcing? You have the perfect voice for it and i was just wondering how you have become the voice of NJ (and NY)?
