i was on the 26th floor looking out the window with my girlfriend when suddenly we saw the doors close O_O  we thought it was a ghost.

then as we rode down the elevator we heard the alarm between the 10th-14th floor

Pretty funny moment for me.

I was in the room on my laptop playing "Dancing at the Party" from Nacho Libre. Then the fire alarm went off. We initially got worried and I was glad that I packed up early since it was Sunday Night, so me and my roomies were about to grab our bags.

Then as the fire alarm stopped the lyrics "Everyone is dancing... happy... par...tee." played and we all cracked up. We were cautious and checked outside before we do anything, but it was quiet, so we assumed it was a prank.

I was taking a shower when.... WWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Needless to say, walking down 11 flights of stairs with just shorts and a shirt AND hair still wet is not fun.

DX Not fun. I was working my panel during that time and it blasted over the speakers and nearly made everyone deaf in the room.

For me it was funny overall. It went off just as I was about to fall asleep, and my friends and I were worried, until it said "Attention....*silence*" We cracked up. And our floor (9th) all yelled at the announcer lady when she told us over the intercom that it was a false alarm. It's one of those times I'll always remember. XD

Anyone ever figure out who did it or what happened in detail?

This is not something that needs to be repeated in future years.

Probably drunk and/or high kids. If so, it'll be repeated over and over again until maturity matches their stupidity.

Ugh, that was annoying. My sister and I were in the middle of our panel and had to stop and check with con staff about "So, guys, is that a legit alarm or some dipstick thinking they're being funny?"
