Tuesday night Barack Obama stayed at the hotel, which meant there were secret service guys all over the place and the place was packed with his entourage and members of the press who follow him around. Caroline Kennedy was also there, and I rode down the elevator with her without knowing who she was (doh). We were supposed to help get him out of the hotel to go work out at a gym in the morning, so he was all set to come down a secure elevator and just then the fire alarm went off. Then the secret service guys were calling all freaked out ("This is the control room... we are concerned... what is the status of the situation?!") but eventually we got him down and outside. Those secret service guys don't mess around. It was actually pretty cool.
One of our security guards went up to the floor where they were all at and saw one agent standing against the wall watching some guy sitting in the hallway in his underwear with a pile of clothes and a briefcase next to him. We have no idea what was going on there, but we decided it was probably best not to ask.
Now I think I'm getting a cold. My throat is sore as hell and my back is aching.
So yeah, I nailed Siva by the Smashing Pumpkins in Rock Band and hit the #1 spot overall for vocals on the leaderboards for the song. A day later, I'm now tied for #2. Oddly enough my other highest ranked song is Cherub Rock also by the Smashing Pumpkins, which I'm #15 on. I just thought it was awesome to see I was the absolute best at something like that, even if it was just for a day. Woo!
