Now fully rested from my crazy journey to Chicago, Friday Russ and I packed his car and head towards Iowa City. I started the drive off by screaming in a very girlish voice, "Iowa City here we come!!" If anyone has seen us two together, you can tell right off the bat that we act like dorks and make a lot of jokes. So both of us being in a car for 3 hours you can only imagine what was going on. Most the time it was us making, "That's what she said" jokes, or "your mom" jokes or it we were talking to each other in stupid voices. Probably for a good hour we talked non stop in British voices. I can only imagine what other drivers were thinking as we passed them acting stupidly in our car, probably thought "Must be Iowa fans."
Well after our 3 hour dork fest, we finally made it to Iowa City and I promptly screamed in my girlish voice, "Iowa City here we are!!" When I left Ohio State, I made sure to pack a lot of business cards because lets be honest, everyone wants my card. When we got into Carver Arena, we had one of those chills going back to our marketing office, mainly because we saw that the marketing staff was in full gear getting ready for a football game, the basketball blowout, and a volleyball game all occurring Saturday. As we walked back into our old offices, we saw some familiar faces and met some new ones, all who got my business card. Just like old times, right when I get there, I have to go up to the Message Center to fix some problems with the matrix boards (how are they surviving without me?). After working for an hour and fixing the Message Center (don't worry I am sending them an invoice) I went around different offices seeing old coworkers and handing out my business cards like they were going out of style (don't worry there still in style). Even if people were not in their office I just slide some business cards under peoples doors (that's just called good networking).
After hitting Carver we decided to go out to a place I did not know existed in Iowa City until I turned 21, a bar (that should fool my parents from thinking I drank before I was 21). After having a few drinks and a few laughs, we went off to dinner with our former boss and his wife. Had a few more drinks and a few more laughs and then it was time to get ready for the game tomorrow. We decided to crash at our bosses house instead of going out, so we could get up early for gameday Saturday (for not going out we missed out on a gang fight stabbing near our friends house, maybe next time)
Well tomorrow the exciting conclusion with a running diary of our Hawkeye Saturday Sports Extravaganza.
