A great pair of bolt cutters.

I made it to a hostel in Cleveland that I picked out that morning. I was hangry by that point since earlier I refused to pay $8 for a convenience store sandwich. I just ate more goldfish. So once I got settled at the hostel I locked up my purse and went to shower. Upon getting out of the shower I went to grab my purse to go out only to remember I put it in a locker… and inside my purse was the key to the locker… fml.

Well luckily this is not my first rodeo. I went to the front desk and asked to borrow the bolt cutters, figuring I certainly wasn’t the first to do this. Although I was informed it had been over a year since it last happened. Either way, they had a great pair of bolt cutters! Super easy and done in one push. Meanwhile I had a roommate who was trying to sleep this whole time… oops.

Checked out this bar and was surprised they had the Bruins game on. Until I remembered I was in Ohio and the people of Ohio would probably care how their Columbus Blue Jackets are doing.

I ate some delicious tacos while the bar filled up. The bar tender bought me a beer and then I headed back to the hostel. My roommate decided to make a bunch of noise in the middle of the night, so I’m pretty sure it evened out.

I wasn’t jazzed about it feeling like 33 degrees in Cleveland Sunday morning. But I found a cheap delicious diner and afterwards went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!

I had a blast!! I cannot say enough good things. It’s right on Lake Erie and awesome. They had Ani DiFranco’s guitar, Tom Perry’s jackets, Janis Joplin’s necklaces, Sheryl Crow’s lyrics. It was amazing!! SO much fun history and beautiful memorabilia!

They had some interactive stuff as well, with a special pinball edition. Note: you are not a musical success until you have your own pinball machine! You could play for free with tokens if you scanned your entrance band.

They also had a whole floor dedicated to this year’s nominees. As well tributes to legends who past recently.

Tom Petty’s jacket from the Live Aid benefit.

They also had a video of all of the inductee ceremonies compiled together, which was cool. Along with music video history.

Just go! I think it’s amazing!!
