Do you ever have memories you can rely on to just laugh at?

Our brief stint running from security at Fantasy Springs Casino was the silliest moment in recent history, but you, Friend, get the prize for making it the most memorable. It is something embarrassing for all who were there, but it is also something that will not leave me for a long while. So the whole scenario sounds a little OFF from the beginning. The six of us take a charter bus filled with senior citizens from West Covina to a casino in the middle of nowhere, and we’re basically given $50 in free gambling money. Arriving at the casino, we decide to tour the resort and eventually walk into a conference room. Set-up for an event but vacant, we decide to re-enact a pretend conference of our own. Who came up with that idea, I don’t know.

Thanks Nancee, for uploading the photos from Pretend Con 2010.

Ok, so if I hadn’t actually turned on the mic and spoken into it, the day would have not turned out the way it did. But it was all for the better. Me saying “hello everyone” through the mic triggered a security guard to try to pry open the room partition (seen the picture behind me) to see who was in the room. But before he does, we all stop and panic, as if we truly are doing something wrong. Some of us run out the room, but not YOU. Hahaha. As if breaking grandma’s antique tea set you were asked not to touch at age 6, you decide to hide behind the table that was in plain view with the security guard. You could have not been more noticeable! Way to stay in the room and fend off the guard while we all run off! Hahahaha. I dunno, it’s one of those moments where you had to have been there.
