It’s like boom (boom)
I put it in the hoop like slam (slam)
I heard the crowd screaming out jam (jam)
I swear that I’m telling you the facts
Cuz that’s how I beat Shaq

Thank you, Aaron Carter, for those wise words…

I didn’t exactly BEAT Shaq today… but I met him!

My new fitness plan and my New Balance running shoes really came in handy…! Because at about 1:30pm today, Boston Celtics player Shaq tweeted that he was heading to Harvard Square to be a statue! So, naturally, being the sports fan that I am, I threw on my running shoes and ran there to find him!

Watch my vlog to find out where he was, and what it was like meeting him!

Cassidy Quinn Brettler graduated from Emerson College in May. She's from Seattle, WA. As a major in Broadcast Journalism and Acting, Cassidy has done all kinds of things, including interning at NBC News in Los Angeles, anchoring and producing campus news shows, and even covering the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games! She was also the Merchandising Chair and PR/Social Media Chair of Alpha Epsilon Phi Beta Alpha Chapter, and is a huge fan of all sports. She's also a social media nerd, so if you can't find her outside jumping in puddles (like a true Seattle girl!), you can find her Tweeting from all over Boston. Since graduation, Cassidy's been searching for jobs, involving reporting, video blogging, and Tweeting - maybe even all at the same time...!
