FSU

I went to FSU Card Center and exchanged my old Faculty/Staff Parking Decal for a new one. Today was the second day they were doing the exchange but today’s location was closest to my work.
The process was quick and I spent probably few minutes. I took the old one off of my car and gave it to them. They gave a new one which I quickly put it on my car’s driver side lower left front glass.

Dock Campbell Stadium

After VtS and I finishing our Hindi class, we headed over to FSU. VtS had some important course work to do so he went to the science library. I parked my car in the parking lot in front of IMB and walked to the Dock Campbell Stadium where the FSU 2013 BCS Championship Celebrations were underway.
I walked in with my camera (it was open and free admission to everyone). The day was perfect with very little clouds and in the temperature was in the 60s. Soon after I arrived the football team entered the stadium and sat on one side of the podium. The announcer than invited the President of the University, the Athletic Director, the quarter back, and couple of other football players to speak about their experience. During the gaps there were highlights from the season and the final Rosebowl game projected on the big screens. The Head Coach also spoke.
I left around 1 PM with a free poster.

Godby High School Auditorium
The India Association of Tallahassee (IATLH | www.iatlh.org) celebrated the 67th Indian Independence Day and Utsav 2013 at the Jeff Bradford Auditorium at the Godby High School Auditorium in Tallahassee, FL, USA. The program began with unfurling of the Indian national flag followed by singing of Indian national anthem and American national anthem.
It was followed by speech contest where nine members spoke on pre-selected topics for three minutes. Following the speech contest, Utsav 2013, non-filmy cultural program began and featured group dances, group songs, and musical instrumental pieces.

Immediately following intermission, we staged our Hindi comedy drama. The cast members were members of Learn Hindi group and mostly non-native Hindi speakers. I had obtained a copy of a Hindi skit from the Internet and modified it and the Hindi teacher added more lines and parts for people. The skit called Rangeen School was staged and all performed well and the audience liked it. Then there were few more programs, speech contest winner announcement and the quiz.

Lincoln Leon Football Game
Friday, October 12th, 2012Lincoln Leon Football Game
Gene Cox Stadium
441 Paul Russell Road, Tallahassee, FL 32301
In the evening after Bhanu came from work, we all three headed to Gene Cox Stadium at the North Florida Fairgrounds to attend the Lincoln and Leon high schools season football game. Our friends at the Tally TKD had informed us about the football game lastnight after VTS’s black belt award ceremony and we arrived at the stadium little past 7 PM. We paid the ticket amount of $6/person. We met our friends and took our seats on the Lincoln side of the stadium around 35 yard line.
Due to some power problems the stadium lights didn’t come on until around 7:30 PM (after the Lincoln Band started to play) and the game went well. The quarters were 12 minutes long and by the end of the second quarter the Lincoln Trojans had scored impressive five touchdowns and extra points to a score of 35 to the Leon score of 3.
We then watched the Leon high school band play. They have been invited to play in London 2013. With full lights on the Leon band perfromed many nice routines. The Leon football game came from the half and scored a touchdown and made Lincoln fumble the ball once.
Since Bhanu had work early and VTS and I had to attend Saturday morning physics we all left with score of 35-10 in the middle of thrid quarter. In all it was a fun.
