Yesterday was possibly the best day EVER!!! Corey was able to pull some strings and Vocal Point left the Forbes home bright and early (7:45!!!) for Universal City! Thanks to Corey's friends over at Hasboro Toys, we were granted VIP passes and were going to get a personal tour of Universal Studios! But more on that later.
After a long drive through LA traffic and one rousing rendition of our entire CD Vocal Point arrived in Universal City. Since we were too early, we headed to a coffee shop to kill time. We were greeted by some of the friendliest coffee shop employees who wanted to sing for us if we sang for them. After a great performance inside the shop, and another one outside in the sun, we headed back to Universal to meet up with the Executive Creative Team of the Hasboro Film division! We were treated like MOVIE STARS! We had a wonderful breakfast in the Hasboro bungalow and met Ben and Dan, two of the coolest people with the coolest jobs! We broke into groups of 3 for our own personal golf cart tours of the backlot! We saw the set of Psycho and War of the World. We drove down Wisteria Lane. We got to see where Bruce Almighty was filmed and so much more! Then when we thought things couldn't get better, we sang for the Creative Team and they gave us INCREDIBLE presents. We went home with some of the newest Nerf Guns and board games. CatchPhrase and ScrabbleFlash will now be the new official games of Vocal Point!
We then headed over to Hollywood Blvd and spent a wonderful two hours in the sun, shopping and sightseeing! We saw the Hollywood sign, posed with Mary Poppins, ate more FroYo and enjoyed each other’s company while being complete tourists :)
Then we headed back home for some R and R, got ready for the evening and shared a beautiful dinner with the newest additions to Vocal Point: Grandma and Grandpa Forbes! We warmed up for our performance with the Gaslight Chorus and headed to the venue.
The Gaslight Chorus is Brea's incredible Barbershop Choir! We were invited to sing, along with the Midnight Ramblers, at their open mic night. We had the honor of learning music with them, listening to their beautiful performances, and sharing our music with them in return. This was such a fun experience, and it was really great to see Mr. Forbes in his element! The group is really so talented!
We then came back to the Forbes home, with the Ramblers in tow! We used our new board games from Hasboro to know each other better in a late night hangout session that was way over due. A crazy game of capture the flag also helped to bond the two groups!
It was one very long and fun filled day and we can’t wait for what is to come. Tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful, so we are heading back to Venice beach in the hopes of drawing a larger crowd on the Boardwalk!
We hope you all are enjoying our blog! Stay posted for more updates J
Love as always,
