In West Philadelphia Born and Raised

So I went to Philadelphia on a business trip this week. FUN TIMES. My first business trip ever, and my 3rd time ever being on a plane. I wasn't even scared, because I'm not a pussy, I guess.
There were a few things I wanted to accomplish on my trip, and I knew I didn't have a lot of time. 1 was to try a Philly Cheesesteak, which I tried not one, but TWO. The first I had at the Flyers game (my first NHL game...whoop de doo) and since I had nothing to compare it to, it was fantastic. Right after the flyers game, we went to a REAL cheesesteak place called Geno's, and apparently it's open 24/7/365. There were pictures of famous people that have eaten there all over the walls since it's very well known, everyone from Sylvester Stallone to Kermit the Frog (!) have eaten there, and that's cool. This sandwich was even MORE delicious! I thought cheesesteaks were covered in nacho 'cheese' so that's why I've never had one...but I was wrong. It's real cheese....although you can GET that crap on it if you want...they call it 'wiz'. Gross.
The second thing I really REALLY wanted to accomplish was to run up the stairs like Rocky did in...Rocky.
Mission....accomplished :)
Yes, the video quality is poor...but it's proof!! ADDDRRIIAAANNNNNNNNNN!
There you have it...my trip in a nutshell.

  1. UNFORTUNATELY, you didn't come meet me because your stupid schedule was an idiot. So, in short, I call you entire trip a complete failure.

    Please try again!
