Clemson University – Clemson, SC
Filed Under Erin Weed's Blog
Last night I spoke to about 800 sorority women at Clemson. It was so great to be back on campus since my last visit during my book tour in Fall 2006. Nothing had changed in regards to their energy, as I busted out the Spring Break program. I actually did something in the seminar that I’ve never done before. I broke out my video camera, and shot everyone in the audience doing the Palm-Knee-Knee. It was awesome. (Video coming soon – still learning iMovie!) After driving back to my hotel, I decided I was hungry and went to the Macaroni Grill nearby. Tasty carbs! This is probably my fave chain restaurant when I’m on the road, besides Chili’s and Subway. Literally I have Subway every day for lunch. You can call me Jarod, thank you very much. But anywho, I had this waitress who was apparently an opera singer. You wouldn’t know this just by looking at her, as she was this teeny tiny blond girl. Some people at another table asked her to sing for them. She belted out a wicked rendition of some Ave Maria kind of tune, and she totally wailed. Who knew that Macaroni Grill had such a star-studded cast?

Hey Erin,
I just wanted to let you know that I listened to your speech at Clemson and it really had an impact on me. Although it sounds negative, since I’ve heard your speech I’ve really been thinking about what I want to do with my life. What you do for a living (travel around the U.S. teaching self defense and safety) will truly impact more than one person’s life, and if I could do that, I’d be satisfied with my life. What you do is awesome and I just wanted to let you know to keep up the good work! I’m sure you’ve impacted more than just me.
