I have very recently had the honor of attending the Alternative Press awards at
The Rock N Rock hall of fame in Cleveland, Ohio
So AGAIN!!!!!!
Short summary of the events are as follows.
We arrived Sunday.... July 20th around 4:30pm ..placed are stuff into the Doubletree by Hilton, which would be our home for the next 4 nights.
We were not even there for a full hour when the phone began to ring. On the other end was Jen's daughter & friend, both flippen out barely breathing because they just seen Vic Fuentes from Pierce the Veil. Telling us we must get there ASAP.
Jennifer and I decided we were going to run through the city on the small amount of directions giving.... which was face the Key building and go towards 6th st. Awesome after running a good 20 mins we finally come to 6th street. Called trying to find out where the girls are...meanwhile this couple behind us ask are you looking for 6th East street because this is 6th West... UGH!!! 6th E. was 10 city blocks in the other direction.
What do we decided to do? OH WAIT.... WHAT IS THAT across the street. WOOT! We have transportation via a beautiful white horse pulling a black carriage lined with green crushed velvet. Needless to say we made it to where the girls were located in style.
Anywho upon arrival we decided to head into the restaurant within the Westin to grab a bite since we just navigated half the city.
We are seated and look directly next to us and OMG how lucky did we end up. Sitting my right is Mr.& Mrs. Chris and Amy Biersack, Andy Biersack (Black Veil Brides), Juliet Simms, & the entire band The Misfits. We got photo's of course and had a pretty decent conversation to go along with it. Also while there.. Kellin Quinn for Sleeping with Sirens showed up as well. Talk about a amazing first night.

Nautica Queen dinner Cruise are Cleveland on Lake Eerie.
Meet this terrific couple/family who was seated next to us. Spending a good portion on the evening with our new friends. Seen the city from the water front at night which was absolutely breathtaking. We even cause a lot of commotion on the cruise via Fall Out Boy "light'em up" and a dance floor. Especially Jen, because at first we hung back and just laughed at what was occurring.
Day 4
Hard Rock Cafe for Lunch... Actually sat in the same table as Slash & Marilyn Mansion once sat in. The food their was rockin.
Followed by going to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame for the remainder of the day. Not enough wonderful things can be said about the overall trip. LOVED IT and I can say this!!!!
