It’s 354 miles to Cleveland, I’ve got a full tank of gas, no packs of cigarettes because I don’t smoke, it’s dark out, and I’m wearing my regular eyeglasses because I cant see in the dark…
Well that certainly isn’t as exciting as the quote in the movie, but we’ll make it work :). As I’ve been blasting on all of my other social media accounts, I brought The Chicago Bluesmobile to the Huntington Convention Center this past weekend (March 2-4) for Wizard World Cleveland.
I left Chicago in the middle of the night, so I would have plenty of time to get Cleveland for load in times, but also so I could stop and take pictures and document my trip to The Rock & Roll Capital of the World.
Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate at all! It rained all the way from Illinois to Ohio, some areas it felt like I was in a monsoon!
A nice shot right before sun break at a rest plaza in Indiana.
After what felt like an eternity, I finally arrive in Cleveland!
And that’s where I stop for the day, I got up at 3:00 AM, drove straight through to Cleveland and waited in line to get to my staging area. After setting up my drapes and banners it was almost 3:00 PM. That was a long ass day! I was beat so I made it over to the hotel to rest up.
Hoping that the rain would have let off by the time I was done napping, when I awoke this is what I could see out the window.
Looks like I’m going to the hotel bar for dinner!!!
I go down stair to peruse the menu.
I settle on home made pretzel sticks and a Great Lakes Brewing Turntable Pils to start off my night.
These were incredible!!!
After 2 or 10 Turntable Pils (I was in the hotel), I forgot all about dinner. But I can tell you I slept like a baby!
12:00 AM, story ends! Look for Part 2 in the next day or so for my continued adventures in Cleveland at Wizard World 2018!!!
