Its Show-time.... The First Football Game....

After an initial disappointment on Sunday, I finally made it to the Football Game… We were expected to volunteer for AID (Association for India’s development) a stall which had been set up at the Beaver Stadium for the first football game yesterday… The money earned from the stall is forwarded to India for rural development.. A novel cause…. I heard we made almost $5000 :-) ....

We entered the Beaver stadium and it was juz overflowing with ppl… Almost everyone was wearing blue.. it was the deep blue sea which was juz limitless… Everyone was screaming and the atmosphere was juz too good… Never seen anything like that before… Gr8 music was being played by the band and all those lovely cheer-girls ;) The start was simply fabulous… The noise level was so so high that I felt we could be heard from India… J…

We were given blue aprons and we set on our hawking adventure. We took Aquafina bottles and sold them for a whopping $2.50 (i.e. Rs.120) and surprisingly we sold them in the first row itself. We went back to our stall and then hell broke loose…

It was the first break and everyone made a bee-line to our stall.. I managed the drinks.. don’t worry I wasn’t a bar-tender.. I managed making the cold drinks… ppl here drink more cold-drink than water. It superb fun to cater to everyone’s needs of Pepsi, coke, Fruit Punch, Mist .. juz to name a few… I was working with another girl from Hyderabad – ranjana and we formed a great team…

After the break, we went on another hawking expedition and weren’t as lucky. But we did enjoy the game a bit. We even took a full-length video-shoot from Azam’s handy-cam… I’ll mail the pics soon.

And yeah totally forgot about the game.. Penn State beat Akron 48 – 3… I mean full kachara kar diya unka.. All in all, a great thunderous experience…. Looking forward to the next game....
