New York, NY


Every time I visit New York I like it more and more. The city is vibrant, diverse, and always moving. I don't think I could live there for more than six months, but it is a great city to visit. I got to visit walk around and see a lot of the city on foot. One of the highlight was seeing the new Apple store on 5th Avenue. The entrance is a solid glass cube about twenty feet high with glass stairs leading down into the store below. You can view a Quicktime VR of it here and here.
We had our eleventh and final event on the southeast side of the city, and had a lot of fun. There was the largest crowd yet, and all the finalist we had met at the previous events were there. I had a great time on the tour and got to see a lot of new and exciting places and have some new experiences. I am really glad for the opportunity I was afforded in working on this tour, and look forward to the posibility of doing similar promotional work in the future.

Minneapolis, MN


I got to visit a good friend, and see the largest mall in America with a theme park in it! Mineanapolis was a realy nice city. It feels welcoming and neither too small or too big. The weather was perfect, the city was fun, and the people were friendly.

Des Moines, IA


Des Moines is just as boring of a city as you would think, but the Iowa State Fair is probably the best thing to do see in Des Moines. We had our event at the fair on Friday, and the street was packed with thousands of people by the time we left. If you plan on visiting, I suggest you visit during the state fair if you must visit at all.

Chicago, IL


Chicago is a great city in the summer. We got to visit for four days, and really enjoyed the cities architecture, museums, gardens, fountains, and parks. It is a beautiful city, and the weather was perfect, but I would not want to be there in the winter. While there I went to the Field museum were I got to see a King Tut exhibit and the man-eating lions from Tsavo, that the movie The Ghost and The Darkness is based on, among other things. I also went to the top floor of the Sears Tower and the John Hancock Buildings. I also went to Millennium Park, The Chicago aquarium and the Da Vinci Exhibit in The Museum of Science and Industry.

Columbus, OH


In Ohio I got to go to my first state fair. It was fun, with lots of things to see, do, and all the junk food you could ever want. We got to watch a great fireworks display both nights, once when we set up the stage, and the next night as we took the stage down. Our event was fun as well and we had a good crowd come to watch. I didn't get to see downtown Columbus, but plan to visit it sometime in the future.
