Why I'm thinking Band Tour is the Greatest Thing Ever Almost

Any non-band members or members that did not expericence this great opportunity will not understand what I speak of now. They might think, of course it isn't the greatest thing ever almost, well that's because you didn't try. Anyways, onto what I need to talk about.

Seattle may not be the best place on the planet to be, because of all the dark alleyways, and people that yell at cars on crosswalks, but with many friends, it makes the stay so enjoyable. I guess what really made it a good time depended on everyone's state of mind. It was a very long bus ride up to Boise, then all the way over to Seattle, but friends, sugar, and movies all made that worthwhile.

There were clinics we were required to attend, and even though it got boring at times because the percussionists just had to sit there and wait for it to be over, the professors gave us really good advice about different things. With the help of this, and how incredibly awesome our band is, we won 1st place in the festival on Saturday.

Another incredibly cool thing was that we got to stay in the Embassy Suites in Seattle, which is a very big, beautiful hotel. Eight floors of fun! But the best thing about the hotel was that by sheer coincidence, I landed a spot in room 222, which is my lucky number, and I stayed there for part of the 22nd. The breakfast they served us was beyond anything I had ever had, meaning I got to choose what I wanted, and not make it myself, and there was a wide variety of food (pancakes, sausage, eggs, bacon, etc.) that was free!

Other things the hotel included to make it way fun were: a pool, hot tub, and sauna where I relaxed for a while, a really comfy floor that I made my bed on Friday night, a fountain to throw coins into from the 8th floor, and of course the others things that we brought to make it fun. There were ninjas, jedis, and people playing lazer tag running all around the 2nd floor.

There were other activities we did while in Seattle, such as shopping at Pike's Peak Market, taking a boat with evil seagulls to Tillicum Villiage where we tried clams and salmon, and other things. We also had a few hours to go to the Space Needle (which I didn't go to because it was $14) and the Experience Music Project museum where we made our own band and sang "I love rock and roll" as the Flaming Potato Wedges.

Then of course there was the whole thing with BTR's... yeah.

Seattle Band Tour was totally awesome and everyone that went will agree. Yay!
