It's 2:30am and I have to report to the bus in 5 hours, so why am I still up you ask? I'm not sure. This is beginning to be a bad trend in my sleeping pattern. I think it's a combination of things keeping me up. It could be that I sleep the day away on our early morning daily bus travels, or that my brain won't shut off with show and regular life things, or maybe it's because I truly have restless leg syndrome!!! Whatever the reason is it's not good. We are in Cleveland right now- and leaving for Grand Rapids tomorrow morning. I did a meet and greet tonight with Hilton Garden execs and their families (HGI is one of our major sponsors) and one of the very enthused guests asked what city we just came from, and all i had was a blank stare as I searched my brain for the answer! STATE COLLEGE! ahhh! I can't even remember where I woke up this morning! This tour is about to become a real brain twister. We are on city #1 of a 4 day one-nighter stretch. I'm remaining calm, but confused and exhausted as well! Unfortunately these one nighters don't allow for much exploration in the 15-20 hours we are here for. The big event of the night for me was getting a slammin grilled cheese and fries from the hotel restaurant. Yep, as Drew Carey were to say, "Cleveland Rocks!" Well, at least it does in the hotel grilled cheese department, the rest of the city is still in question.
A little bit on State College, PA, aka Penn State....
There were really good things and really bad things about city #6. Let's start with the positive first- the ice creamery turned out to be amazing and we got to walk around the campus in between shows Saturday! I got the Bittersweet Mint, delicious! I was hoping for Peppermint but they didn't have that one ready for scooping. The creamery is definitely smack dab in the middle of the agricultural department so I'm wondering if I could go to Penn State and graduate with a master ice cream maker degree?? Seems possible. The campus was really pretty and clean, but empty because all the students were already gone on Thanksgiving break. Okay, for the bad- the hotel was a dark cave with no window to the outside world and my Internet didn't work and it was just dusty and grouse. OH! I almost forgot the best thing about our two day visit to State College! I saw Twilight New Moon with Hillmer and Sam!! The movie was actually really great- so much better then the first one- but I can't believe how hard we laughed every time there was a shirtless Jacob! haha!
Here we are at the creamery, doing a lady lion pose with our ice cream. Penn State are lions so there were signs all over saying "Lady Lions." We seemed it only fitting to adopt the lady name.
This is the Bruce Jordan Center where we preformed in State College with us on the sign!!!
