An Ode to Chariot

Yesterday, my National Student Advertising Competition team's dreams were crushed by three "judges" when we placed 6th at our Regional competition in St. Paul. Out of 10 teams. The presentation: flawless. The ideas: superb. The "problem:" we were "too ambitious."

It doesn't matter that we had the best research, executions, designs... we lost to a group who used the Running Man. *shudder*

But regardless of how the year ended, I cannot say enough about the talent of our NSAC team. Our presenters, Mike, Eric, Libby, Carina and Lindsay worked their tails off and wowed the crowds with their words, poise, and Eric's tattooed leg. Their dedication to the team never waivered and I cannot thank them enough for all of the effort they put into this.


Also, to all of the non-presenters: you were all amazing. Chariot could not have done so well without you, and I am proud to have worked with you, drank with you, cried with you.

And finally, Howard: we couldn't have done it without you. Your dedication has been nothing short of miraculous. We cannot thank you enough for all of the time you spent with us, grueling over this campaign.

I love you guys!

BEAR BLASTING!
