November 10th 2011,
had to be one of the best days of my life.
I met the one and only rapper/actor Aubrey Drake Graham
I have been a fan of Drake since he was an actor on the Canadian TV show series
Degrassi: The Next Generation
I still can not believe that I actually met the guy that I watched on TV for so many years
and the guy that I played his mixtapes nonstop in my room and car....
Drake kicked off the anticipated
Club Paradise Tour at Penn State during a time when the school
was going through a lot of controversy surrounding the issue of
firing Joe Paterno and Graham Spanier because of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal
Penn State students engaged in a riot
when it was found that Joe Paterno was fired as the head football coach at Penn State.
The riot happened a day before the concert and many people thought it would be cancelled
The rumors were not true and the concert was still scheduled to go on (WOOT WOOT)!
The concert went well
and wearing a Penn State hoodie and leopard-print jeans
Mr. Y.O.L.O left the stage saying:
"“I want to truly thank you for being able to come together and have a great evening. Like I said, despite everything that’s going on around you, this is one of the greatest schools in the motherfu**in’ world. I love you,” he said to cheers from 15,000 concertgoers. “I’d love to come back some time, maybe with some of my family like Nicki Minaj. So while I work on making that happen, you work on being the beautiful people that you are. And until next time I see you, take care.”
