So Lindsey and I went to Ohio for Summerfest last weekend to socialize with some other @ers. It was very fun, I must say, considering we got to hang out with REAL LIVE @ TRAINEES from other countries :). So for all of you out there who were doubting @--you should've been at Summerfest, with the second coolest LC out there--@MI. They're an awesome crowd, so if you ever get the chance to hang out w/ Michigan @ers, go for it! (you're welcome for the free plug April--we expect the same ;)).

But seriously now, it really was a great experience. Meeting trainees always is, because you are actually seeing the result of what we are all working so hard towards. There were trainees from Germany, Japan, Korea, Mexico, and Denmark, at least. It truly was an international crowd.

Btw, let me give some explanation to what this Summerfest actually is. This year was the first annual Summerfest hosted by @MI. It pretty much consisted of two nights of camping in the Ohio "wildnerness" (the cabins had airconditioning--not a bad thing, but we definitely were not roughing it). During the day on Saturday we went to Cedar Point, a huge amusement park with pretty awesome rides (ok ok I'll admit it, it is just as good as Great Adventure...). We all got in some pretty awkward dispositions that nature did not intend (accompanied by my terrified screams of "OH MY GOD!").

And that's that. All in all a very awesome weekend. Too bad more people couldn't have joined us from @CN (cough cough). Just to sum it all up, I do want to express how amazing it is to do activities with @ers from other LCs and countries. Not only do you get to find out how other LCs work and learn from them, but you really do get to form great friendships. Try it some time! OK--sappy part of blog is over.

Now I bid you all adieu so that I can go back to watching The Incredibles (yes, I am aware of how lame that may seem on a Friday night--I blame Lindsey). Hope everyone is having a great summer so far!
