I have to chime in here. Your avatar is awesome. I used to watch Hamtaro (sp?) all the time.

If not Palatine, then someone else has one in november. its a kick-off type thing to get people in the groove of studying/taking it seriously.
Gives people a chance to 'try out' events to see if its something they want to do. Also good for builders to get a baseline for how well their initial designs are compared to others before everything gets over complicated with small details.

I know I'm going to palatine since its in district so its like 5 minutes away

Oh I see. That's a good Idea! Maybe I can get my coach to start us off sooner.

I don't see why you couldn't try...at the very least, you could do things like fundraise, plan, and, if you're really ambitious, prep for events that you *know* about alrteady (WIDI, DP, Exp Design, Forestry, etc.) even without the rules manual. Earlier is always better.

I love how half the state forums don't even exist, most of the others don't have any posts, and Illinois already has 3 pages and 38 posts (counting mine).

Physics is difficult for 99% of the world's population because they don't understand it. The other 1% know too much.
