Extemp at Concrete Disneyland
June 29th, 2005 by Sean Fraga
This was a huge tournament–triple-flighted extemp, seven speakers per panel (compared to nationals: double-flighted, five/panel) and it was held on one level of a very concrete, very upscale-corporate Disneyland. The buildings themselves were grey, and three stories high, with sliding glass doors and were set close together, with just cobblestone footpaths between them.
I exited the stairwell on the wrong floor and was somehow in the middle of a Beauty and the Beast playground.
Later, we (the team?) took a shuttle to help a single mother and her daughter move into their new house. I left to use the bathroom, which had flat-panel screens on the toilet and counter. These were so absorbing that I stayed in the bathroom for a long time–so long that I worried that the team had left and that I had missed my speaking position.
I came downstairs to find the daughter asleep on the floor. Outside, down a stone path was my team. I was the seven speaker in the third flight, but woke up before I had to compete.
