the following ramble is somewhat delayed. but a couple of weeks ago, we went to the bookstore and purchased a couple of books to help us prepare for the trip.
okay, we didn't purchase all of them. only a couple. but we thumbed thru all of these. i think our favorite one was the one that listed good places to eat in major cities around the country *eyebrow waggle*. we didn't buy that one tho. we decided to stay a bit more practical, and got an atlas instead.
yeah, those are the ones we purchased. this photo is TOTALLY CANDID, NOT POSED AT ALL ahaha.
yesterday julie and i went shopping, i got a few nice new clothes for the trip, and a really cute mini backpack to carry around with me while walking random places.
something that i think might come in handy for later is a timezone map, so, yeah... here:
arizona will be the same timezone as nevada, because it's a rebel and doesn't participate in dst. so we will be driving thru 3 timezones, and will have flown in from/back to the fourth.
something else i wanted to post about is the hanson day weekend schedule of events. we will not be participating in the bowling, or any of the members dinners.
friday: will be driving in from amarillo. the driving distance is 366 miles, which, according to google, will take us about 5 1/2 hours. we will want to leave early this day, because we wanted to stop at pops along the way if there's time (their website says they start serving lunch at 10:30 am). so if we leave around 7 am, we will get to pops around 11 am. then take an hour for lunch, and get to tulsa around 1:30. check-in for hanson day in tulsa goes from 10 am - 5 pm. but we'll probably check in to the hotel first. the photos are the first event, going from 1 pm - 4 pm, at cain's ballroom. after that is the lectures, also at cain's, from 5 pm - 8:15 pm. next is the movie screening, at the circle cinema, at 10:30 pm.
saturday: not much happening this day. can spend the morning exploring tulsa a little. state of the band is from 4 pm - 6 pm at cain's. after that is the concert, at cain's, from 8 pm - 10 pm (doors open at 7). then after the show it's the *after party* (and after the party it's the *hotel lobby*), which goes from 11 pm - 1 am (doors at 10:30) at cain's.
sunday: hop jam!!! located in the brady arts district, the doors open at 3 pm, and the concerts start at 5 pm. bring an id!! other than that, nothing going on, so we can spend the morning exploring tulsa again.
as a side note, here is the post from last year's hanson day, which recommends some good stores and restaurants in tulsa. i haven't yet seen a similar list for this year, so last year's will certainly do. there is also this site, which also has some great info on tulsa.
that's all i've got for now!! --ashley
