Baltimore -
This was the first time in Baltimore for Believe, and the first event of the Tour. It had it's challenges of a new venue and new location, but overall it was a great event.
- A few of the staff and myself were able to go to a Baltimore Orioles-Tampa Bay Rays game the night before. See the picture and few people there were. Yes, the game had started and was in the second inning.
- This was our longest set-up of the year, as we had an extra day for rehearsals.
- One "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" location, Chaps Pit BBQ, was visited. I had "The Bulldog." The actual location of the restaurant was located in a very interesting area of town. I will leave it at that.
- Some of the girls were able to visit D.C. during some of the rehearsals.
- One of the youth ministers was mugged outside of the convention center on Friday night. He had to navigate explaining to his students the difference between showing compassion to a homeless man and a man stealing your money.
- On the same note, one of our production staff was also scammed and lost almost $100 the day before the event.
- After this event and one incident, Isaac Schade will never talk to venue personnel again.
- First event with the basketball goal, and the students loved it.
- After Friday night session, a large group of staff went to Cheesecake Factory and got back to the hotel way late that night. I think that was the last time our staff went out eat after Friday night session.
- It rained like crazy on Saturday and during the last two sessions water was coming in from underneath the doors of the exhibit hall.
- Truck pack was horrible.
- The trip home was by far the longest one-day drive we will have all tour. Something like 19 hours. It's all downhill from here.
