So I did my update blog reading from the weekend and I am disappointed in two people for not mentioning our road trip (not really, but its fun to call you out ).

Anyway, John, Katy, and I made a road trip to Cleveland this weekend to visit the Seven Floors of Hell. after I had to visit three banks to find an ATM that worked, I met up with the pair at Katy’s. We climbed into the CRV and hit the open road, you know after we stopped at Starbucks so the overly caffeinated and sugar high crazy duo could get more fuel. That car ride was a blast (seriously, I had many good laughs)! We made a pit stop at a rest area on the way up where a veding machine dispensed pop in such a fashion, that it held us spell bound. Robating arms like a skill crane bringing you your cold twenty ounce beverage are works of modern art. We decided to stop off at a TGI Fridays, which was much further from the exit than logic would dictate. On a side note we found out a mall up there has a department store called Ears (ok, maybe the S was burned out on the sign, but then again maybe not). We ended up sitting next to the server station, where Katy pulled her ever popular “I’m talking about him and he’s right behind me isn’t he?” But even worse than that was listening in on the wait staffs conversations, it sounded almost like the plot to the movie Waiting. Kind of creepy. After dinner we headed out to the Haunted House, or 7 houses to be exact. Not being Haunted House N00B5, we brought extra cash, so we could get our hands on the coveted speed pass, or no waiting in line. Some of the houses were really lame, most were pretty good. The 3-d Pyscho Circus was awesome, because the glasses made everything stick out. A very cool effect. Overall I’d have to say the Seven Floors of Hell didn’t live up to all the hype. It was a fun trip still. The ride back was quite eventful. John slept, Katy sang to her iPod as she drove, and I watched the scenery deep in thought.

The next morning I got out of bed, only to realize I left my cell phone in Katy’s car. DOH! So I hope online and shot her a TXT through Verizon’s web site. I waited a bit for a reply, before I decided to make my trip out to Gamestop to obtain my coveted prize, Guitar Hero 3 Legends of Rock. On the ride back, I met up with John and Katy in my complex to get my phone back and waved to them as they headed to the same store for the same prize (great minds think alike). I opened the box, inserted my Wii mote into the Gibson Les Paul, and started to rock it out. A few hours later, I was dueling a demon to a Guitar Version of “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”. difficulty beaten, three more to go. The song list in this game is just phenomanal, Metallica’s One, Paint it Black, Welcome to the Jungle, and Bulls on Parade just to name a few. If you have a Wii, get the Wii version of this game!

In the evening I gave Mraz a call, and met up with him for dinner. Following dinner we played several round of Team Fortress 2, before calling it a night.

Monday morning rolls around, and work is work. Not bad, but really busy, so oh well.

L8rs peeps.

So, Katy John and I went to the Blue October Concert Earlier this week. It was awesome. They had Shinny Toy Guns and Yellow Card open for them. Both bands were awesome. John and I were also checking out the eye candy all night. Short skirts and pig tails always do me in. About the only weird point of the night was these two psycho blonds that kept trying to talk to the three of us, man were they scary.

So the three of us hit up some haunted house tonight. We starting the evening meeting at John’s. John needed to hit the ATM, prompting the longest ATM line I’ve ever seen. Seriously people, it shouldn’t take more than two minutes to use an ATM unless you are a moron.

After that Katy wanted food, so we hit up Buger King. Prompting the longest drive thru wait I’ve ever experienced. How many times can some working the drive thru ask you what you ordered when it was only two things of the dollar menu? Apperentlly about 6 times. The funniest/saddest part was when she asked John what we were still waiting on. The first thought in my mind was, “You are working the drive thru window, you should fucking know.” I bite my tongue, as did John.

Our first stop was going to be the Deadly House of Horrors. Its a new one that supposedly in a funeral home. The big problem here is that its in the getto, and parking appeared almost nonexistent. They also only have a Myspace page and no web site. Thankfully we decided to skip that one.

Next on the list was the House of Nightmares in the brewery district. As always it was very well done. I especially liked when we went thought he clown part, and they made Katy stand on a green dot, where a clown in a harness rig jumped out and scared her good. It rocked.

The last stop on the list was Terror Park at Cooper Stadium. The hour wait in line, sucked. They did a lousy job of spacing groups. The actors need work and they probably need at least 3 times the actors. The only cool part was the clown who kept scaring the crap out of the three girls in front of us in line.

We’re planning on making a trip to some big haunted house around Cleveland on the 20th. Should be fun.
