Rusty Rockets

     As many of you may already know I am a devout fan of the brilliant and comedic genius Russell Brand. I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely gentleman himself this past Wednesday. My roommate Abbi Sauro and I went to his book signing at the Union Square Barnes and Noble. Abbi and I were lucky enough to be sitting in the front row, within touching distance of Russell.

    Obviously once he arrived hilarity ensued, but at one point during his routine he opened for a few questions and he called on me for one! I asked him what his favorite location in the UK was... in Russell Brand fashion he proceeded to answer "Well that is easy I would have to say my groin, lovely place to visit but one would never want to live there." He is obviously hilarious and most definitely did not disappoint.

   After the routine he invited fans to come up onto the stage to get "My Booky Wook" and/or "Booky Wook 2" signed. I had to get 4 books signed by him so we had a bit of a conversation while we were up on stage, it was very nice and he is an extremely pleasant person. We finished off our little interaction with a hug and kiss on the cheek and I was off. A great ending to a long day.

Stay posted for his stand-up video coming soon!

If anyone else has any tips for me please feel free to let me know.. comment down below or contact me via another method listed under my follow me section! Thanks!

Applefest!!!

This past weekend was Ithaca's infamous Apple Harvest festival. It is a street fair that takes place on the commons and has tons of tents and stands selling apple goods, wine, jewelry, art and other cool trinkets. There are also rides and games. It is really fun for all. This year I convinced my parents to come up for the festival and they stayed at this lovely bed and breakfast up in Lansing, which is 20 minutes north of Ithaca. It was a really nice place with awesome views of Cayuga lake.

Unfortunately it rained all day on Thursday but Friday turned out to be gorgeous! We spent the day on the commons at Applefest. My parents went crazy for the food at the festival especially the apple strudel and Amish baked goods!
