Re: Extraordinary Moments from Champs
My favorite moment from champs (outside of the competition anyway) was when we went to the Over Under Sports Bar right down the street from the dome. We were standing outside the restaurant talking strategy when all of a sudden a drunk man holding a Coke bottle comes up and begins talking to us. The exchange went something like this:
"Hey guys. I'm just gonna say this now, please don't be scared of me cause I'm black! And I see there's a bunch of you, so please don't beat me up, that wouldn't be fair." We're kind of confused, but laughing anyway. He continues:
"Would you guys spare a dollar to hear the best beatboxing ever? I promise you it will be worth it." We agree, and he says:
"Trust me, this will be the best five dollars (notice the subtle change in price) you've ever spent." It is at this point he proceeds to lay down the best beatboxing I've ever heard. No joke, I wouldn't have been surprised to find a speaker in his mouth blasting Skrillex, it was that good. I ended up giving him five dollars, and he thanked us. Then he went to another group near us and repeated the same exchange, and they were busting out laughing as well. A lot of teams were walking near us nearby as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if anyone else here got to meet this absolute legend.
