On the Road Again

So we just finished playing our last show in Grand Rapids! We have the rest of the evening free and then tonight or tomorrow morning we are leaving for Peoria! Also, we don't open until Friday, so we have like four days free! Crazy!

For some reason my trackpad on my laptop is acting up and it's driving me insane! I'm really hoping it will just kind of fix itself...

Anyway, in honor of my last day here I'm going to post all the rest of my pictures from Grand Rapids, including the ones from the museum.

The lobby

They had period style Grand Rapids

One of the dresses in the 50's fashion display. The dresses were owned by two sisters who grew up in Grand Rapids and donated them to the museum.

Funky! Love the blue sash

One of the sister's wore this one to her prom. There photo is a picture of her wearing it at the event.

Instrument section

So this guy started talking after I walked by and totally made me jump haha

He talked too but I was looking out for it this time :p

Nice furniture

They really like their furniture in Grand Rapids

Oooooh

They made theatre seats too! Including ones for the Kennedy Center and Radio City!

Model of the inside of the old clock tower

Last night after the show I went out with some of the band guys to a place called San Chez, a tapas bar and restaurant. I split a bottle of white wine with Tony, and then ordered waaaaay too much food that was all so delicious! Also spent waaaaay too much money haha.

Blue cheese fritters!

Ahi tuna with a manga coulis

Whiskey-soaked cake with caramel pecan ice cream and a brownie

I also had some Moroccan lamb meatballs and split shrimp fritters with Andrew, but I forgot to take pictures haha. After the tapas bar we went to a bar called Stella's (I shouted it down the street a la Streetcar Named Desire haha). It had a bunch of old arcade games and pinball machines inside, and we sat and talked with these two girls named Cassie and Desiree who are local aerialists and went to a circus rehearsal. All in all it was a fun night :)

Oh and I finally took a picture of myself in my band outfit, so here it is:

Ta da!

Also, I talked to Adam, who looks after the elephants, and when I said I was from Syracuse, he got excited because apparently the zoo in Syracuse is one of the best zoos for elephant conservation, which I didn't know and found really interesting. He said that he'd show me all the elephants when we got to a better city that had more space, but in the meantime I got a sneak picture of the elephants:

Elephants!

Well that's all for right now, My data plan refreshes on Monday so I'll be able to use my mobile hotspot again. Also, I'm pretty sure my trackpad is not working because my battery is swollen, because when I plugged in my computer, it worked fine (thanks Mark Seeley!). Soooo it looks like I might have to get a new battery once I'm in Peoria...oh well.

P.S. I totally got the Potion riddle correct on Pottermore the first try. I'm totally a Ravenclaw ;)
