<p>Look for other places accepting bitcoin using <a href="http://coinmap.org/" rel="nofollow">http://coinmap.org/</a></p>

<p>Or as already suggested, use an exchange like bitstamp or btc-e.</p>

<p>There's a nice video here that shows how to pull the BTC from the paper wallet to a Mycelium Android wallet.</p>

<p>I would recommend you only pull out what you need to spend at the appropriate time, or follow the instructions in Mycelium to backup the wallet, just in case you lose your phone you don't want to lose 1 BTC with it.</p>
