Accompanied my brother and made a Looooooong trip to compete in the "Villa Re-Fresh" scavenger hunt in Chicago.
We entered trying real hard to be optimistic.
250 people were allowed to enter....
Started at about 8:30am and ended at about 10:30pm (including the announcing of the winners and purchases)
I know some of you guys will bring up how all that time invested is money and we could just have paid a re-seller and came out the same etc... But I did it because my brother missed out, is a broke student, and this was his last chance at retail. Wasn't going to let him make the trip to Chicago alone so I agreed to go with him...
About 150 out of the 250 registered participants ended up showing up the morning of.
The scavenger hunt consisted of 3 "Legs" (phases)
All had pretty challenging questions to solve.
After the 1st phase my brother and I were in about 60th place... :x
It was pretty challenging for Chicago Natives, so you can Imagine how it was for us Out of state people. There was also people there from Philly, DC, Cleveland, etc.
We both had a look of defeat when they told us that, lol. But I had already told him that before hand that no matter what we were not quitting. Didn't make that long trip to just give up... Kept it moving and trying.
As prizes they had a pretty good selection... Both AY2's, MV Lebron IX's, Concords, Various Foams, IV's etc... But EVERYONE was obviously there for the Yeezy 2's...
Met some good people and overall had a great time...
Below is what me and my brother got after a LOOOOONG day of work...
Ended up in 6th and 7th place overall.
Woke up this morning and had a DM from @paranorman telling me I won a pair of FOAMS!
Great week so far so we decided to stay and party in the CHI until Sunday.
Sorry for the long read...
