Wow, youre even deeper into the Turtle community then I thought..lol.. what was your job during this trip and how did you get the gig? Im shocked you didnt buy the bus first..lol
@devilstoysuk2 I volunteered, so I wasn't a paying gig... I went to the first stop and saw what they were doing. Realized I could help out with information and that it'd be a fun trip. So we decided to go to each stop, and I'd sit on the bus and ask if anyone has any questions about anything on the bus and I'd try to answer. It was a lot of fun. :) Wish I could of bought the bus, but Nickelodeon got it.
@JAKE83781 Sorry they skipped Utah, I was not a part of planning out this trip. I was more just a fan following along and offering to help out where they'd let me. Otherwise I know I would of picked some places different than they did. Like Michigan's stop would of not been down town Detroit, but more like Royal Oak where people would go to. Many other states were skipped over as well.
@tripdefect87 Heh yeah, I've known Tokka for about 10 years now. He's a great guy, he's in another blog already posted, and he'll be back for more blogs to come.
@xXAubreyXSparksXx Heh yeah, Tokka and I have been friends for years I first met him in person back in 2000. Though he lives far away so we don't get to meet up to often. The tour did cut through Oregon on some last minute stops, for some baseball games. They went up to Seattle, WA as their last West Coast stop. Those were not originally on the list of stops, I was happy they were added since I was staying in Vancouver, WA at the time and was able to go.
@xXAubreyXSparksXx That is a cardboard stand up really. It was one of those things that came out back in the 1990's, that was found at comic book stores and such. This one was used for display in my comic book store for awhile till they were willing to sell it.
Anyways, wonderful showing of the bus and the tour! I'm so glad they made another stop after San Diego close to me. I got to show my daughter Kira Mikey and her face lit up so much! She ran and gave him a hug! So cute!
@superjushin My Turtle costume is a home made costume... my dad made it. So I don't think there's any way to really get one like mine. Others have made their own costumes that look cool as well. :)
@cucollins12 Excuse me while I laugh for a bit here... you really are bored with your life. Any how, if you didn't know... Splinter is a made up character that was created by Eastman and Laird.
I know other Karate teachers out there, black belts who are bigger than I... and guess what they can still kick butt if need be. Get a life and stop trying to judge books by their covers. You'll never know where you may wind up.
@charliethered Heh thanks, I feel the Turtle deserve it as they've been there not just for me though for millions of others through the years.
Heh About the Turtles, to each their own. I'd rather a relaxed artistic party dude than a hot temper strong Turtle. Though Raph has his moments ;) I am a fan of all four Turtles.
@brollicon Orlando would of been a GREAT stop for the tour. Really I was shocked they didn't plan that into their stops. It would of been much better than Detroit... which was a very slow and quiet stop. If I had any part in the tour I would of recommended a FL stop.
I didint even know there was a bus like this hangin near New York City else i might go check it out. Saw a lot of familiar faces there though... ...Good job.
What they gonna do with the bus now just parked there forever? It's interior obviously got customized to the point that other than a tmnt mini museum it cant be used as a regular bus anymore. I hope they can open it up for public visiting.
I wish we knew, as of now I just heard that Nick got the bus, so hopefully if they threw that into the deal means they want to use it for something. I'd love to see it in use again. Maybe it'll go around in 2012 to promote the new movie and show, that'd be so awesome!
AMAZING Video. You have no idea how absolutely LUCKY you are. As a Massive Ninja turtle fan since i was 4 (20 now) You have no idea how devastatied i was to not be able to see the buss ONCE. While watching this video i was about to cry. I just cant believe it passed and i missed it...
I hope so, we got a lot more photos still need to go through and post more on the forums and facebook. Though figured this would be a nice way to share some stuff from across the trip. :)
Wish you could of made the stop in Michigan Mily, it would of been the closes stop to you and I would of let ya stay at my place and it was my Bday weekend. Hopefully this won't be the last we see of it.
I wish I could have made it to at least one stop. You have no idea how bummed I am about missing it all. I should have quit my job and went to see it. lol Great vid, Michele. Keep 'em coming.
Hehe na, you shouldn't quiet your job. Though if you could of taken a few days off that would of worked for ya. But deff not something to quit your job over.
I hope my reviews and photos will help people get an idea of how the tour was.
I remember wanting to see the bus when it came to Philadelphia, but I never knew when it was coming so I missed out. Oh well, I'm glad you had a good time.
@Sykorax No problem, glad we were able to get it fixed.
I really wish a lot of people could of the online fans could of made it to these stops. Some stops were really busy, while others were slower. It was always good to see real fans showing up. But I think if they got the schedule up earlier, more people could of came.
wish they could have gone to Seattle
