It was great. The conference center was huge, with these very tall
escalators. My favorite part, though, was overhearing this statement:
Yeah, the workshop was great. I learned so much about leadership in worship.
But then things were winding down at the end, so we left a little early to
ride the escalators.

The best elevator ride I ever had while growing up, was a 13 story building
in Fairbanks (the tallest at the time). We only went there on very special
occasions, to eat at the "Tiki Cove", a Chinese restaraunt that we LOVED.
That was the sum of my cool elevator experiences until I grew up and moved to
Portland, OR.
Oh! Except for on family vacations. I remember the Space Needle being super
exciting!!

When I was a teen and would hang out at the mall, my friends and I would ride
the May Company elevator up and down (it was really isolated and almost no
one used it) and we'd jump in the air as it was going down. What a wierd
feeling, especially if it suddenly stopped just when you were getting the
hang of mid-air flight and your knees would buckle when you feet hit the
floor suddenly...good memories!

in the elevators! We used to run up the down escalators until we got caught
and kicked out. And there was a really scary circular exit from a parking
garage that we used to skateboard down on Sundays when it was closed. (That
was when most skateboards were just board with roller skate wheels bolted
on.)
