      "Once upon a time, long long ago, there was a little blue gopher. Our little blue friend wanted to go on an adventure, but he wasn't sure where to go. Will you go on an adventure with him?",
      "One of his friends once recommended going to New York to make friends at this mysterious thing called \"GothamGo\". It is supposed to be a big event with free swag and if there is one thing gophers love it is free trinkets. Unfortunately, the gopher once heard a campfire story about some bad fellas named the Sticky Bandits who also live in New York. In the stories these guys would rob toy stores and terrorize young boys, and it sounded pretty scary.",
      "On the other hand, he has always heard great things about Denver. Great ski slopes, a bad hockey team with cheap tickets, and he even heard they have a conference exclusively for gophers like himself. Maybe Denver would be a safer place to visit."

      "The ride to your hotel is fairly uneventful, with the exception of the driver droning on and on about how he barely breaks even driving around the city and how tips are necessary to make a living. After a while it gets pretty old so you slip in some earbuds and listen to your music.",
      "After arriving at your hotel you check in and walk to the conference center where GothamGo is being held. The friendly man at the desk helped you get your badge and you hurry in to take a seat.",
      "As you head down the aisle you notice a strange man on stage with a mask, cape, and poorly drawn abs on his stomach. Next to him is a man in a... is that a fox outfit? What are these two doing? And what have you gotten yourself into?"

      "The next day you head to the slopes and blaze a few trails. You can definitely see why Denver is called the \"Mile-High City\". Gorgeous mountain scenery doesn't come close to describing it.",
      "You consider checking out this GopherCon you have heard so much about, but a quick check on their website has your gopher buddy vetoing it. It turns out he has a strict, \"No Space Walks\" policy, and refuses to believe that it is just a graphic on the website.",
