phineasjonesthe drive to philly took about 6 hours and was fairly easy. there was traffic outside new york city but that was no surprise. we arrived at the hotel around 7... philly was familiar from our one visit years ago. i auditioned at temple in 2000. and actually i really wanted to go there but i was waitlisted and ended up at bu instead. i think i would have liked temple better... but what can you do?
when we checked in, they gave us a little bag that M (the groom)'s parents had put together for wedding party folks. it was bizarre - a little baggy of treats that come from pennsylvania... which is a nice thought but these were all things you could get at the rite aid across the street. like hershey's minis and bags of pretzels and chips and 'tasty kakes.' it was nice of them... just odd.
rach had looked up a vegan restaurant before we went so we decided to check it out for dinner. omg! yeah, the squee about this place could go on for pages and pages. their cheeze was soooooooo good. the sad part is that we just weren't as ravenous as we would have been if we hadn't been sitting in the car for 6 hours. but we ate 'cheese fries' and some of our cheesesteaks. and saved the rest for lunch the next day - along with a peanut butter cheesecake brownie (!!!). and we got soft serve (!!!again) on our way out that was... soft serve. like, seriously, coulda fooled me. no oats creme was this, oh no. yum.
yeah, so then, crazy party animals that we are, we went back to the hotel and watched tv until we fell asleep.
