Wow. It’s been awhile. I’m not sure if I still remember how to write… So there’s not really anything exciting going on here. I’m just crossing things off my summer to-do list. Among the things accomplished so far: order pictures from the trip, get a haircut, buy two sets of […]
As promised, here are the final numbers for the tour: 23,529 attendance 11,876 rings 2,416 commitments Yahoo! In other exciting news, I am going back on tour next year. Next year’s theme is Mythbuster and we’ll have a redesigned set and almost all new videos. So get your eyes checked […]
The End. The tour is officially over. For the time being, I have moved back home and have gone back to work at FrenchCreek Production in Franklin, PA as a Video Producer…and anything else they need. Today was my first day at work and it was a weird feeling. Even […]
I can’t believe it, but tomorrow is my last day with Silver Ring Thing (for the time being anyway). Canada went well and we had no problems at either border, praise God! We also had a show on Sunday here in Pittsburgh. It’s probably apparent that I’m back in the […]
We’re almost there! Four and a half days and over 2,600 miles and we have nearly reached our destination. We’re in Michigan now and headed for the border. For the majority of our team this is their first time to Canada, so they’re pretty excited. This will be the farthest […]
If at any point in the reading of this blog you have been jealous of my adventures, today will not cause that same emotion. As I mentioned in the earlier post, I was in Washington and headed east. Yesterday, we drove through the northern part of Idaho. Not really a […]
Last week we had a chance to visit the Giant Redwoods in Northern California. I had heard a lot about the Redwoods in Geography and History classes in school, so it was great to finally get to see them. The experience was different than I had expected. They’re just trees, […]
We’re back on the road now after what seemed like a lifetime in Oakland. We had a lot of down time, but yesterday we went back to Discovery Bay. We stopped here in the fall and we were happy to go back again. Discovery Bay is a river system in […]
Pop quiz about me:What is my favorite fried chicken restaurant? If you answered KFC, you’re wrong. Chester Fried? Wrong. Roy Rogers? RIGHT!!!! Most of you have never even heard of Roy Rogers. This is a sad reality in America today. There used to be a Roy Rogers in the Cranberry […]
We’re in Oakland, CA now and we have a show in Vacaville tomorrow. I think it’s near Napa Valley so I’m hoping to see some beautiful landscapes today. We went to Jack London Square here in Oakland yesterday. It is a piece of waterfront property dedicated to Jack London (author […]
Example: A friend of mine fed $20 into a slot machine and was happy when he walked away with $16. Happy? That machine just took 4 of your hard earned dollars in approximately 3 minutes. $4 for 3 minutes of entertainment…and I thought movies were overpriced. I really wasn’t looking […]
We flew back to Pittsburgh today. Perhaps a little known fact about me is that I had never been on an airplane prior to coming on tour. My first flight was a Pittsburgh to Cleveland connecting to Phoenix. I’m not sure if you have ever flown from Pittsburgh to Cleveland, […]
