If you received an out of office reply from any of our staffers yesterday this will help explain things a bit - BLASTmedia was out of the office Wednesday for a “retreat” to the Cincinnati-area, and the city is still probably recovering from our visit! BLAST took a field trip to Kings Island to experience all the roller coasters, drops, hangs and swings we could handle in one day. We did K.I. like we do just about everything - fast and furious, hitting all the major thrill rides like the Beast and The Vortex. While we each had our favorites, the Beast came out on top as unanimous favorite while Drop Zone and White Water Canyon were given the dubious “lifetime ban” a-la Mike Harmon.

The day wrapped up at the Sherman House in lovely Batesville, Indiana, where we filled ourselves with German fare (think schnitzel, knockwurst, kraut balls, etc) and relived the hilarities of the day. It was a perfect ending to an awesome day, although the other (slightly older and more reserved) patrons at the restaurant would probably say otherwise! As you can see, “Jimmy’s Kidz” had a great time and it was just what we needed to decompress for the day. We look forward to the next time Kelly lets us all out of the office to mingle with the public…
