...PENN STATE!! Lee, Walter and I left work early on Friday and headed for Penn State, picking up Mike on the way. We arrived in Happy Valley, and made a pit stop at the Rathskeller to begin our weekend with a celebratory round of drinks. We soon met up with many of the fellow alumni with whom we'd be sharing the weekend. The rest of Friday night was spent at another watering hole.
Saturday morning began bright, and early. With a 12:00 o'clock game the tailgating needed to start even earlier. The fog was still hanging around Mt. Nittany when we arrived in the parking fields. Lee and I headed into the game and got to our seats just as the team was entering the field. After a disturbing touchdown by Purdue on the opening kick off the game slowly got better. We had great seats, but I think it would have been a little more fun from the student section. As it was I got a few good shots of the student section and the 'S' from where we were. Penn State finally put a check in the W column with a final score of 26-19. We spent a few more hours enjoying the beautiful sunny day at the tailgate scene. then headed back to get ready for another night on the town. We caught the bands Sunset West and Mr. Hand at the Rathskeller, both with a great show. Sunday morning we caught a great breakfast, including a fresh bagel for the trip home. Just before leaving town, we made a much needed stop at the creamery for some of the best ice cream I've ever had.
Just wish I'd taken a bike with me, it was a weekend full of walking. I've got a few pictures here.
Fight on State!

A little clarification on your favorite section of the band-conductor, sousaphones or Majorette?
Well certainly not the conductor. I'll let you decide between the other two.
That was no bagel you had. There was clearly no hole present.
