Elevator Trouble: The Marta

[Ben Lauer]

WARNING: Marta Elevator's Get Stuck, don't let this happen to you!

Thank goodness the DJ Show was there to make this video. (http://www.thedjshow.net/elevator.wmv)

ps. sorry stu and dave!

[D.J. Fluck]

i tell you what, going outside the hotel to find a drug store, seeing a firetruck with its lights on by the MARTA station and then finding out 10 minutes later that the firetruck is there because of people you know...HILARIOUS! :P

[Dan Richardson]

LoL.. mayb a little action music and we could have a full motion picture.

I think that we could get the best actors around. Just think, Jim Carrey as DJ Fluck, Kate Winsett to play Amanda Morrison, Colin Farrel for Stu Bloom, Maybe even a guest appearance by Andy Baker played by Nicolas Cage or Sean Connary or something.... the list goes on... and the coolness just elevates.

I'm willing to buy the story rights.

Well all joking aside.. I'm glad I didn't take the elevator I'm glad you guys were safe lol, and that was quite funny.

[Heretic121]

yay 4 dave!!! now i want to go to IRI and see it played on the jumbotron there =P

[Bridgette]

oh man...another reason for 121 to go to IRI.

[TD78]

This is great! I had heard about it but to see video is priceless. Awesome job guys.

[Ben Lauer]

I give DJ full credit for the video, but he made me post it, maybe he is scared of stu and dave?!!?!?!?!!?

[ebmonon36]

Who would be scared of Stu?? I guess if he got beat up by a girl, he would be scared. :D

... and all poor Dave wanted was a shower. ;)

Too bad we don't have video of Dave and Tom being asked by the cops to move their 'Stand Up Hovercrafts'. Classic.

[Stu Bloom]

I have been asked many times ... "What did you and Dave do while the elevator was stuck?" ...

And my answer - always the same - What happens in a stuck MARTA elevator, STAYS in a stuck MARTA elevator ...

Thanks again DJ ...

So how many of you jumped up and down in the elevator while in motion?

"Please be remain standing while this elevator is in motion, you may exit when the floor # sign lights up at your corresponding floor level"

And yes if you stayed at the Mariott Marquis the elevators did talk to you however they did not say the above qoute.

[Ben Lauer]

Our hotel elevator was crappier than the marta's, I was suprised that it didn't get stuck, although one did break when we were there.

If you want to know about our crappy hotel that DJ Fluck picked, check out the tread on hotels, and find the "regency Suites.". aka, run for your life!

[MOEmaniac]

That was so so so so funny. I'm just glad it wasn't me in the elevator becuase I wouldn't be able to live it down. :D

I never realized how crappy Europe was :p

[MOEmaniac]

Modern European is alot nicer than "CLASSIC" European.

You want to see bad hotels? We were at the Super 8 on Cone St. On Saturday night, we had our own waterfall. In the bathroom. Started from a clogged toilet two floors up. Check out the pictures (http://first.bghs.org/nuke/modules.php?set_albumName=album38&id=P1010124&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php). :ahh:

It doesn't matter...I've got a feeling that if they decide to take revenge, you'll ALL be considered targets. :)

Tom and the 229 crew nicknamed it their "loft" ....


"Yeah the hotel room was small, but it had a loft" :p

I wasn't there but I know what MARTA stands for.

Maybe next year we can make it. Look for the Huntington, IN team with a new number. Yes, that's right, we will again be a rookie team next year.

Actually we did ask and he said that typically happens once a day...out of all of the MARTA Elevators

10x10 room with dirty sheets, stained mattresses, spiders (i got bitten by a brown recluse spider while sleeping), stains on the curtains. Oh, and did i mention we had 3 people sleeping in here?

Not a fun time :) i live in a 10x10 room now, and its much better than the super8!
