... 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.

Re: Elevator Trouble: The Marta

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 ...

Re: Elevator Trouble: The Marta

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.

Re: Elevator Trouble: The Marta

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!

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.

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.

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

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

Making
A
Reasonable
Trip
Agonizing

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.
