7. I inadvertently set off the alarm in the elevator of the Doubletree (again, see number 10)
That was you? Ooooooo, I'm gonna... I don't know what I'm gonna do, but sweet jesus, that damn horn was annoying!
I like how they had to reset their entire elevator system to get it to shut off. I don't know exactly what you managed to do, but damn, you sure did it!

Yes, it was me. It was rather inadvertent that it happened, but I had a good time with it. I accidentally bumped the emergency alarm, so my friend and I hopped out of the elevator at the next possible moment and immediately got into the other one Some guy got in and said something about "I wish I knew which asshole did that" while shaking his fist. As soon as the elevator door closed, I crossed my arms and said "that asshole was me."
I love making people uncomfortable. He stopped the elevator at the next floor and ran out
Thank you! I talked to the RvB guys for a little while and when they asked me if I worked for a company. They were really impressed when I said I just do these things for fun. They thought Merch was done professionally :-D
