Hey guys! I'm posting this from a Starbucks in New York City! (yay, free wi-fi!) Been here since yesterday, got to see a lot of the city today, havin a ton of fun.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you guys to look for me tomorrow in the parade! I'm traveling with the Purdue All-American Marching band, and we are the first band in the parade. As a lot of you know, I play Purdue's World's Largest Drum. So, it should be very easy to spot. :)

If you want to look for me, I'll be in two different places on the drum at two different times. For the actual parade that starts at 9 AM, I will be hitting the World's Largest Drum on the left side.

Then, we do a little performance in front of the Macy's store on top of that big star in the street. We switch positions right before that, and I will be on the front left of it, turning and pushing the drum. I can almost guarantee that if you're watching, you'll see me. :) I believe that show portion will happen around 10 AM.

Here are some photos so you know how to look for me:


This is me beating on the left side of the drum.

And this is what the new drum heads we put on look like:

If it were a communist country, I'd probably be paid closer to what I'm worth... :P

We celebrate it a month early. :lol

I guess we're socialist, not communist, or whatever. And yeah you get paid more, but the government gets more, and so do unions. :P

Thanksgiving is kind of a Puritan Settler thing though, isn't it? Communists probably would celebrate something like it if they colonized a new land...


But anyway, Mastermario's marching band is very impressive. I checked out the youtube video. I think you're being too modest man, cuz your part in that parade, kind of a really big deal. Also, have a blast in New York dude!
