Monday was the Game of Thrones Season 5 Prescreening at NYU. I was super enthusiastic, hyped up, and crazed. Then the people working the event got me even more excited by bringing out my favorite thing: free stuff. Volunteers started launching Snoop Dogg GoT t-shirts into the crowd, and I was ready.
What I thought happened:
Volunteers walked down the aisle and held up the t-shirts. Each volunteer only had one or two, so I didn't expect to get one. I started waving frantically, and then the shirt started sailing through the air. It was going higher up than me, but I reached up and used my height to get a hold on it. At that same moment a person from the balcony above me had reached down to grab it. We both looked awkwardly at each other, and then he gave up and released it. I had won.
What my friends tell me actually happened:
Well, according to my friends, the person above me actually grabbed the shirt first. Then a split second later I grabbed hold of it and pulled down (allegedly). The other guy was already leaning over the edge of the railing, so he had to let go so he wouldn't go over the railing.
What really happened? We will never know.
But I would like to officially apologize to the other person who was holding that shirt. You are a great person for letting me have it.
P.S. The first episode of Game of Thrones season 5 is amazing. Prepare to be amazed.
