This week I, Jennifer, had the awesome opportunity along with four other Vagabonds, Big John-our tour manager, Michael Chandler-a TOMS employee who created our awesome Point of Sale system, and Devika-a wonderful intern that is helping us Vagabonds with finances for our tour–to work the first campus event of the semester at USC, it was great fun! The rest of the Vagabonds are split up into two other events, one at UCLA and one at Vanguard, and I am positive that they will enjoy that experience as much as we enjoyed USC. It was a great event and a huge shout out to John, our contact at USC that helped to make the whole event happen.

Yesterday we had the opportunity to have our first formal meeting with Blake Mycoskie: the one and only Blake! It went really well. He told us a little about his life and how he got to where he is now. He also laughed along with us while Justin Watts, the Australian intern, made jokes. Nothing can phase Justin, if there’s a human, he’s going to joke. It’s pretty entertaining. Overall, yesterday was a good day. Oh, and since it completely slipped our mind to take a photo with Blake to put in our blog so everyone can see our TOMS love for one another, we just took a picture of our own and placed Blake’s head on Justin Danger Cook so that everyone can get a pretty decent image of our happiness and joy and TOMS love. See the photo after the jump…

The rest of the week has also been going well. Continuing to book events has been our focus. Phone calls and e-mails are in constant motion. We manage to make impossible things happen in our gung-ho state of mind to book our tour full of events. It has been pretty good: booking, laughter, Oreos, good friends, hot chocolate, what more could we ask for? Team Northeast hasn’t been this spoiled since we were first fed ice cream.

We hope you all have a great rest of the week and an awesome weekend as well! We’re hitting the road in less than two weeks, so be on the lookout for us! Team Northeast loves ice cream….and you!
