If I would photoshop a picture of myself into the AIO videos in front of the sign, would that count?

Yes! Those are the two places I went on our family's trip to Colorado Springs! We also went to Pikes Peak, and it was freezing up there and nothing to do except go to a gift shop. We also went to Whit's End, but it wasn't all that fun. We got WAD-FAM-CHAC-SODs there, but other than that there wasn't much to do. By the way, there's hardly any shade there. If you go in the summer, you'll definatly need a hat.

The wildfire's took them all away. And that's another thing you have to avoid out there.......

I watched a video on Youtube a while ago, and the guy in the video is a christian and said he was moving to colorado. So I commented asking him if he recognizes Colorado springs Colorado, 80995.
He replied saying that he may or may not be working there, and to check out all the bts podcasts because he "may or may not" be the one to edit them. :)

Yeah...the only time I go to the website is to listen to the daily episode. Don't listen to the OAIOP regularly anymore, not since GITS... :roll:

Oh, and I've never been to the WE in Colorado.

Well... If you mean the company, what on earth is this doing in Sites? But anyhow, like pretty much all AIO fans, never been, dream of going like crazy.
Ah, Mr. Whit's End, my Evil Clone and nemesis. We meet again. Naturally you dislike Get in the Show, you fiend.

I went to Whit's End in CO! It was awesome! I was... 9? So, I don't remember a lot. But I do remember really enjoying Wooton's slide, the underground railroad and my Wod-Fam-Choc-Sod! (that I believe I shared it with Ben. ;)) :D

I thought I had posted here but I guess I didn't. Also, I have a shirt like the one OF was wearing in the first picture.

On Friday, I went to FOTF Headquarters with my cousin and my aunt, and I was so excited, because I had called ahead the week before, and they had one AIO behind the scenes tour left!

However, we got there, only to find out that they had no recollection of a tour, and said there wasn't a 10:00 one on Fridays, because they had less staff.

Needless to say, we were pretty disapointed.

But, we thought, there was still KYDS radio!

Nope. They were so short staffed that KYDS radio wasn't even open either...

So, there's the slide, we thought. Underseasie and I didn't want to go on it, but we thought our cousin might...

Nope. It was closed too.

At least the Soda Shop opened, and we did get food and ice cream...

ETA: Obligatory picture in front of the Whit's End sign. Our cousin is cropped for privacy reasons:

Ohmigosh, Rosy Dozy has a Babs Seed haircut! That is ridiculously awesome! (Hooray for Babs' cutie mark.)

And I'm sorry, that sounds slightly disappointing. My word, they must not be very popular. It seems like they always have stuff shut down and they don't sound terribly organized either.

My family and I made the trip out to FOTF on Wednesday since I was on Fall Break.

Regardless of the Soda Shop being closed on Wednesdays, KYDS Radio being unavailable (again), and the slide closing a few minutes after we arrived due to "warm temperatures", we still had a great time. My siblings and I did the three scavenger hunts they have and made it a competition to see who could finish first. I won two of the three \:D/

We also did some puppet shows and goofed around on the stage. It was probably my favorite day of Fall Break.
