hi all.

## it's fuh-buh-lah
at fbla in Florida rn. p dope.

today we went to universal, I only did 2 rides (gringots, it was p good. and mummy, W fier) but twas still a great day.

## bens loooooong member
holy fuck. bens "fourth leg" is so long. at fbla, the name tags come with a few "banners" that stick onto them.

now, fbla intends people to trade to collect pins (each state has unique pins, and you have to "network" to trade). we chose to ignore the intent, instead going after every single banner.


banners can be quite a few things:

### event banners
these are stuff like "competitor" and "finalist".

### privilege banners
these are stuff like "competitive event judge" and "advisor". these were p hard to get

### state banners
most states had a banner that identified them. they were all just the name of the state, sometimes a slogan.

### paid banners
there's a shop that sells a bunch of banners, but thats kinda boring.


so, we've been collecting all of the banners we can. we managed to aquire 140 banners (as of today), we're only missing maybe 5.

somehow we've managed to get some banners we should have. we've acquired an advisor banner, an event coordinator banner, a competitive event judge banner, intern banner, and much much more. some notable ones were missing are Oklahoma, voting delegate state, and board member.

we really need those last couple.

## after fuh-buh-lah
dang, we never ended up getting those last few banners. oklahoma was invisible and every board member was stingey. but wii ball.

we ended up collecting something like 143 banners (might be 1 or 2 off, idk) which totaled ~16 feet long. we so win. i think we mightve quintupled the length of the second longest banner, and we had hardly any duplicates!

fuh-buh-lah was fun

thats all
