Chicago Force had their First Annual Video Scavenger Hunt on October 19, 2002. The primary goal, as always, is to get together with like-minded people and have fun. The secondary goal is to place people in embarrassing situations so we can laugh at them later. Both goals met with spectacular success.
The tasks took the teams all over the city, and ranged from giving speeches in public places to interviewing strangers to trying to get members of law enforcement to participate in skits.
After the video taping, we met up at Bootlegger’s to wind down and watch the videos. The event was well attended, and I think it’s safe to say that everyone involved had a great time.
-
- We mill around aimlessly waiting for people to show up
-
- Dave explains the rules
-
- We try (with varying degrees of success) to divide into two teams
-
- The teams are set, we’re ready to roll
-
- First stop, the Art Institute
-
- “Do you know who Luke Skywalker’s father is?”
-
- “Who killed Darth Maul?”
-
- This guy was no help, but his girlfriend knew all the answers.
-
- “Um, we don’t, like, watch war movies.”
-
- They have to act out the Anakin/Padmé love scene and get people to guess what it is.
-
- “Everything here is so soft…like you.”
-
- Team 2 decides to bag it and move to another location.
-
- “Oh, Anakin, you’re so pretty.”
-
- “Look, here’s my lightsaber.”
-
- Another group of people that have never seen AOTC.
-
- How much is the doggy in the window?
-
- Bootlegger’s on Division, the end of the line
-
- “And this one time, at band camp…”
-
- All that, and now we just sit around, watch TV and drink beer.
-
- The action on the screen is entralling
-
- Sometimes the action is just too much.
-
- I have deep, profound respect for this man.
-
- Phil’s here! It’s a party!
-
- We had the whole back end of the bar to ourselves.
-
- The Death Star: a glass of Red Bull, then drop in a shot of Jagermeister.
-
- Commence primary ignition.
-
- Standby…
-
- “I feel a great disturbance in my throat!”
-
- These guys kept the libations flowing all night.
-
- The owner of Bootlegger’s, and our hero.
-
- The regular crowd shuffles in.
-
- It quickly became standing room only.
-
- She has to squirt whipped cream ‘somewhere on his body’ and lick it off. No, I am not kidding.
-
- She gets ready to squirt…
-
- …then takes the noble way out, and goes for his mouth.
-
- The good sport, and her oh-so-hot friend.
-
- Dave’s had more than a few drinks at this point.
-
- The Ladies of Chicago Force. Look for their upcoming calendar.
-
- A bachelorette party came through, and Dave had to eat candy from the bride-to-be’s shirt.
-
- Mary had the exact same look on her face when, moments later, Dave started chewing on her shirt.
