Still reeling but shed a few years today from reality setting in. I had the adventure of a lifetime and the greatest show I've ever seen. Couldn't have been more awesome!
It's going to take at least a week for my body to recover from this weekend, but so worth it....it was amazing. It's going to take some time to reflect on everything that happened...wow.
I paid $20 for one of those Groupon like deals...$100 off windshield replacement AND get a $25 restaurant.com gift card.
Guy came by to install the windshield, and said, "you can take the tape off after an hour and a half, don't drive the car for 2 hours or slam the doors. If you roll down the windows, it will help equalize the pressure in the car"
I left the car right where it was (I even was nice enough to back into the driveway so he didn't have to carry the glass that far from his truck) for 3 hours.
I just went out to take the tape off...and the fucking windshield is cracked! :x
Called the company back..."oh that sometimes happens when there is too much pressure in the car..."
I said, "yeah, the tech said I should roll down the windows because of the pressure, so I rolled down the driver's side and rear passenger windows"
rep" oh.....you did?"
me "yes"
rep "that's weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdddddddddddddd"
me "uh yeah"
rep "we have to let the glue set for a week, so we can't come back out until <wait for it.....> Next Tuesday"
me "okay"
:evil:
and I didn't get my gift card either :twisted:
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
Afro, I'm so with you, we slept almost the whole day yesterday and today again :shock: Getting too old for this shit :P But it was worth every minute of it! I have never seen as many transvestites as on our way to the train station after the show

Happy happy birthday to my best friend turned jammer (I proudly take all credit )!!! She lurks on here occasionally, maybe she'll see this. Oh well, already bombarded her phone and FB wall
It's good to have good friends :thumbup:

that shit usually happens after the show in my world..
???
Dumbest accident I have ever seen. Backing into a pole isn't as dumb.
This all sounds so homo-erotic!! which is usually my bread and butter but, Lisa and I were so bummed when we heard you wouldn't be making it..
*sidenote*
My brother and I hit the back of this chicks car leaving a phish concert back in the day.. it happened in the parking lot, everyone saw.. and because we were on private property, no police could be called and no violation could be issued..
I advised my brother to re-park and get his head together.. we sat for a bit, giggling and happy that we weren't in trouble..
lets leave the lot man, pull back out..
on the I-75 entrance ramp he managed to rear end another car.. THE SAME CAR!! chick gets out in disbelief.. once she realizes its us, I think her life was forever changed..
we sat for the cops and talked.. I think by the time the ticket was issued, she regretted even calling the cops..
god bless mushrooms and youth..

Taking kitty to the vet soon. At 17 years old, though he seems to be perfectly happy and healthy, always a little nerve wracking!
