…filled with beautiful people. All this weekend I was at the Black Business Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center with my compadres O2(go buy stuff, it’s good!). Needless to say, it was a lot of work, but it was a great experience and a great couple of days for the company.
…and then it went downhill.
After leaving the convention center, I had a little mishap. I don’t feel like retyping it, so just read the IM* I had with my sister this morning. (*the following content has been edited so you don’t think I’m a complete dumbass)
Holly: the la convention center has a really weird surface in the parking structure, so when you’re driving in there your tires squeek really loud. so i was leaving, and it was REALLY loud, so loud it scared me so i got out cause i thought my tires popped or something like when they have those nails in the ground in case you try to go backwards. so someone pulled up next to me and he was like “don’t worry about it, it’s just the floor and youre tires, you’re fine.”
Tina: lol
Holly: so i kept driving, but it was really loud. I got over this speed bump, but it was really hard, i finally got out of the garage, and i looked in my rearview mirror, and there was a tire
I’m like, fuck. I lost a tire on a speed bump.
Holly: … but how am I still driving if I lost a tire?
Holly: So i park my car, and look at it, and all 4 tires are in tact… so i’m thinking, fuck, my spare tire just came up from under the car. so i run back into the parking garage and grab the tire. put it in the trunk, and drive home.
Tina: dang girl, so it was your tire after all?
Holly: there’s more. lol
Tina: lol
Tina: i’m already laughing out loud
Holly: so I tell mommy and milton this morning, and milton looks at the tire and the bolt that was on the ground that i now had in my trunk and milton says “That ain’t your tire, your tire’s in the trunk”
Tina: LMAOOOO
Holly: he lifted up the material at the bottom of my trunk and showed me my spare. so, apparently, I ran over someone’s tire and dragged it hard enough under my car to physically MOVE the speed bump I went over out of place.
Holly: and ran back in, and grabbed a tire that was never mine. I hope they don’t have that on tape.
Holly: I swear, I never saw the tire though!!! Why would I purposely run over a tire? so someone out there is missing a tire. sorry.
Tina: sorry, me and tomoko are laughing so bad right now
Tina: i’m crying
Tina: that’s the funniest thing i’ve heard in weeks
Holly: i was scurred. lol
Holly: i’m all driving home at 45MPH waiting for my transmission to drop out from under my car
Tina: LOLOL tomoko heard me laughing and I told her what you did and she was bustin up
Holly: aww man. lol i better blog that.
Tina: i’m glad you’re ok. you never knew your spare was in your trunk? most small cars have them there
Holly: I thought it was underneath my car!
Tina: you’re funny. don’t even know your car

Man, you crack me up. Hope everything is ok under your car. You might want to get that checked out.
I try, Justin
I have my 30K check on my car soon… I’ll ask them to see if I removed anything important on my way over the speedbump.
I feel ya though. Last night, I pulled up too close to a curb, and when backing away, tore some large piece of black plastic from underneath my car. It’s currently living in my back seat until I can figure out what it’s purpose is.
This would only happen to you Holly. :O
ain’t that the truth, Joanna. lol

[...] I spent this weekend at the Black Business Expo in LA, with my compadres from Planet O2. And you know, it just wouldn’t be a Black Business Expo without Lawry’s showing up. This year wasn’t nearly as tragic as last year was for me. well. that’s not entirely true. [...]
