I am now the pool table technician !

I'm so excited I have a great story for you all.

So Saturday night we had two private events at the zone (yes, one of those was a bachelor party)! As we were setting up for the second event of the day, Matt and I were changing the light bulbs above the pool table. We're chatting and he's making fun of me and then OOPS - the light bulb went down the pocket ! Eeekkkkk. We both looked at each other in amazement like "Did that really just happen?"

We gathered the crew, which at that time were all girls. We each tried to squeeze our little hands down the pocket but in reality ended up pushing the bulb further and further down. We all tried to come up with creative ideas on how to get it out. Matt had the idea to use the Swiffer stick with tape to try and get the bulb to stick to the tape and then pull it out that way. After several failed attempts, Matt himself decided to try. Guess what happened??....

HE DROPPED THE SWIFFER STICK DOWN THE POCKET.

None of us could believe that now we had both a light bulb and a swiffer stick in the pocket. We tried using the pool table balls to move the objects around but I knew we were making the situation worse. Finally, Matt and I got underneath the table to do some investigating. Five minutes later, the entire upper part of my body was inside the pool table. I managed to get the swiffer stick out with ease, and even found an air hockey puck down there as well. The light bulb was tricky. It was sitting with the pool balls just trying to fit in. It did not want to come out. Matt came up with the creative idea to put the light bulb in a plastic bag and then break it. It worked!! We successfully retrieved the swiffer stick, the light bulb, and even a puck.

The events were successful and now I am fully confident in troubleshooting with the pool table.

I am now officially, the pool table technician.

Check back for some pictures of me inside the pool table that Matt had so much fun taking :)

Until next time
