This dude is legend. Maybe not for the reasons the artist had intended, but I think Matthew Antichevich should be happy for the attention his statue has attracted. It is a community focal point, that gives people a unique opportunity to enjoy creative, civic, humorous, artful expression. Some very famous cities thrive on the appeal of their small works of art.
Anyway... I know a few people who appreciate the Cardiff Kook. He is riding a magic carpet of good-natured FIRST 2102 Team Paradox spirit, and it's only right for the community to know that their local high school students are engineer wizards, brilliant artists, and all around marvelous beings!
Honestly, the Kook looks so spot-on FRC Paradox authentic... I feel as though we already were at an awesome, spirited FIRST Regional Competition! Our weekend made a good warm-up for the week ahead!
William, Rebekah, and Maria get ParaKooky!
Hey, did You get Parakooked? Send me your Parakooky picture to share on Chickenblog!
In gratitude to our great community, and to make a FIRST 2102 Team Paradox show of gracious professionalism and outreach, Mini Parrot-Ox and I made some deliveries.
FIRST stop<--- love puns! Our first stop was to the sheriff's department. They need to know they are appreciated and respected. Respect and appreciation can be expressed with donuts, right?
Next delivery... the firehouse! Mini Parrot-Ox was delighted to see her friends, and give them some local treats. They also have an invitation to FRC San Diego from San Dieguito Academy's FIRST 2102 Team Paradox Robotics Club!
Open up the bay door! Maria Mini Parrot-Ox saved the best for last, because at the second firehouse they recognized SDA's robotics club, and invited Maria to pose with a firefighter and a fire engine! FIRST 2102 Team Paradox, you and your sweet metal shop skills have made a very fine impression on this team of supportive firefighters! They have an invitation to San Diego FRC, and a warm place in their hearts for San Dieguito Academy.
