Val-Pak scheduled a "recess" between Saturday sessions at Coupon University as a chance for conference goers to let off steam and bond with each other.
They asked Ac•Rock to pose as attendees and join in the fun before breaking
into song.

So we said goodbye to our bright jackets and put on conference t-shirts and
"fake" name badges. We left our real identities behind and became Ello Eff,
Coval Tarpak, L.C. Tuo and Q. Ponz (get it? Q. Pons. Oh, never mind!).

Some of the Val-Pak people thought those names sounded a little strange and
suspected something might be up, but most just accepted us as fellow
attendees!

|
We got the games going, too: "playing ball" with the franchisees in the
Hyatt O'Hare's ballroom (which had conveniently been cleared of tables and
furnished with playground balls, Frisbees and hula-hoops).

After we started singing, we continued to mix it up with the Val-Pak people:
especially those incredible ladies in the "hula hoop corner". Really, what
other group is going to sing great songs, take requests and share a hula hoop
with you -- all at the same time?

Mark (oops, we mean Ello Eff) got this guy to sing along with us. We did
some "table strolling", too, creating memorable moments for attendees from
all over the country.
