So how’d we do?
Here we are, bright eyed and bushy tailed. Team Lassiter! We’ve boarded the train and are ready to go! At the very first station, however, we make a misstep. The early stations only have one or two items to get, but we opted to get off and try for them anyway. This was a crucial mistake, points-wise, as it meant we’d be late getting to the meaty stations uptown that had quite a few photos for more points. Eh, whatever, we were there to have fun.
The other thing that got us, points-wise, was that we went out of our way to take creative but more time-consuming pictures. Apparently some of the other teams took pictures without ever getting off the train which honestly never occurred to us. It kind of felt like if we were going to be taking the picture, we should get up and go take the picture. That’s not to disparage the other teams, understand, but this was our particular mindset. As a result, we lost time by doing things like the picture to the right. If you’re going to take a picture of an upside down Italian, then clearly you need an upside down team member.
However, I do not consider this to be a bad thing. We had a fantastic team, and we had a fantastic time. I’m pleased with our “quality over quantity” approach to the photos.
So how’d we do? Team Lassiter took third place out of three teams competing. Here’s our prize: The Thoroughbred of Sin. It was hard to eat with that horrible death whinny.
This was a blast. I would absolutely do this again.
That sounds like an absolute blast. I think your team had the most fun, third place notwithstanding.

If I wasn’t working at the shop, I so would have been there! I call shenanigans by the other teams. SHENANIGANS I SAY!

You WON!
As far as I am concerned you totally won! You definitely had the best time and THAT’s what it was about…yes?
We used to do something similar to this at UMYF when I was a wee teen lass (yes they had cameras back then)
I love the idea of such a thing. Next time we have out of town guests I think I will organize such an event for them to get to know downtown! Thanks!

Re: You WON!
It was really fun. It costs $4.50 for a round trip ticket, or you can get a day pass. When it was over, we all got off at the 7th street station and ate at the Brixx pizza place that was right around the corner at 6th and College. Great end to a great day.
