Amateurs. I made a "press pass" consisting of a sticker printed from a laser printer reading "PRESS", highlighted yellow, and applied to the back of my highschool ID. I literally drive on the tarmac of Stapleton International Airport in Denver, in a failed attempt to meet then presidential candidate Bob Dole as he stepped off of his plane. One hour and one flash of the pass later and I landed a killer photo of he and I shaking hands outside his press junket. 16 is an emboldening age!

- stcredzero 8y agoA classmate of mine who was a teenager in Las Vegas in the 80's used to tell me that he would get together with his friends, dress up in suits, dumpster dive for conference badges that had defects or typos, and just walk into conferences like CES. He also claimed his mates would go out into the desert to find orgies and break them up with bottle rockets. People were too scared about being busted and were too busy running away for them to realize it was just some teenagers with bottle rockets.
- turtlecloud 8y agoWtf? People do that in the desert?
- gonzo 8y agoGrew up in Vegas. We set off bombs in the desert. It’s a wacky place. (I’m In Vegas as i type.)
- Kiro 8y agoPretty sure turtlecloud was asking about the orgies.
- _Schizotypy 8y agoMaybe orgies are just that normal there
- justtopost 8y agoThey are everywhere, but when there is so much free desert, and all the good confrence halls are booked...
- dragonwriter 8y agoDepending which of Dole’s presidential campaigns this was for, it was at least pre-9/11 and possibly pre-Gulf War, so security procedures were significantly looser than they are today.
