“NUMB did a fantastic job welcoming opening night crowds in the festival grounds before the Penn State Game.
The crowds were excited to have the band with them as a part of the pregame festivities.”

![HABS drawing, east elevation of On Leong - ink architectural rendering of a structure in Chinatown, Chicago with a lot of wild Chinese details that it’d require a novel of an alt text to describe. It’s a three-story with two towers at the north and south corners.
From the HABS description:
“The On Leong Merchants Association features lush facades clad on two sides
by a not of richly colored terra cotta decoration based on Chinese prototypes and symbolism, custom made by the American Terra Cotta Company. The terra cotta itself is similar to a glazed clay material known in China as liu li. The animals, figures, foliage, and patterns were chosen to represent Confucian virtues, and drawing inspiration from] halls built for many trade organizations around Chicago in the early twentieth century.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yohigiqrjmbarq6xhj4gb4nr/bafkreicmohhi3ho5tyyp7pgixu2gljwrxrizdtfv3w27dsy4vsnk3pd2q4)
