San Diego, Day #1

Hello everyone out there in the blogosphere, this is Matt the San Diego stop coordinator on the tour team. After leaving LA this morning, we headed down to Soldana Beach, just north of San Diego, for clubbers to kick their legs back and relax for a little bit. From frisbee to face, a good time was had by all. Then we drove down to our venue, the Torrey Pines Christian Church in La Jolla, and rehearsed for the concert later that evening. Between rehearsal and the concert, the Glee Club was invited to a pizza dinner sponsored by the awesome alumni club here in San Diego.

Since this was our second-to-last concert of the tour, the customary tour pranks were played. During one of our pieces, Little Potato, my roommate for our stay, Ethan Eagle, bought tiny redskin potatoes for everyone to pull out of their tuxes in the middle of the piece. But the madness didn't stop there. During our stay in Denver, a guy at Dave and Buster's taught us a song called "Heaven is a Wonderful Place," which club thought it would be a funny idea if we set the lyrics of the Merchandise Song to this little ditty. In retaliation, Doc pulled a bandana out of his tux to continue on a prank played on Anthony "Bambi" Ambroselli earlier in the tour.

We had an awesome, attentive, knowledgeable crowd tonight here in San Diego complete with a decent-sized audience. To cap off the day, Ethan Eagle, my cousin Brad (who we're staying with) and I went to a place on Coronado Island called the Night and Day Cafe and had an awesome late-night breakfast. Tomorrow, we are headed to the World Famous San Diego Zoo, as well as the campus of San Diego State University to cheer on our women's water polo team in the NCAA Tournament. So for now:

In T, C, & ME
