I still remembered how the guy introduced me. He said it's the young and beautiful Lisa from Manhattan. So my 11 year old self thought 'how does he know I'm young and beautiful? He's never seen me.' Anyway, I changed my strategy at the last minute and to this day, I am filled with regret. My original plan was to yell pixpixpixpixpix nonstop from beginning to end. But no, when I got on to play the space game, I said pix only when I saw the spaceship pass the target. There was a 2 second delay before the laser struck, and of course missing the ship. So instead of winning a roller skating party where I could invite 10 of my closest friends, I got a free pair of Gold Digger jeans. They were actually quite nice. I was a PIX player.
