Ridiculous Happenings

So, I haven't been without a car since I was 16, and sometimes, I guess i have forgotten how difficult that must be for some people. at home, and at school, if i needed to go somewhere, hope in the car and go, no problems, no waiting. even at school, i lived mayyybe a 6 minute walk from campus, and sometimes it would be a beautiful clear day.. what did i do? i would drive, because that's how it was. now, karma has came back at me, and it lovesss it. In boston, i can't really see how it makes sense to have a car. streets are windy, crowded, old, confusing, and public transportation is really easy and really convenient... that is, within the city of boston. Karla had bought me tickets to see my favorite band of all time (blink 182) maybe two months ago when they went on sale. so we bought the tickets and everything was sweet. When we got here, we realized.... "how do we get there??" see, it was an ampitheater outside of the city and the closest the commuter rail could take us was three miles away. So, we were going to walk, and we would deal with it. but no, the last commuter rail leaves at 10:00 p.m. :( which means we would have to leave before blink even came on. so now we're sad. really sad.

Craig's list is an amazing tool. It got me my apartment, and it got me a ride last night. we searched craigs list for a ride, and i found "5 seats available on party bus to Blink 182 $30.00" and we were desperate, so i got in contact and confirmed. This was nothing like i ever would have imagined.
It was "...no tea party" just ridiculousness. Karla and i were drinking on a bus with 25-30 people we had never met before, all singing blink, strobe lights, black lights, stripper pole in the middle, just lovingggg it. so we get to the show, and our seats weren't the best, but for the maybe 3,000-4,000 people in front of us, there were 15,000 behind... it was incredible. the show was amazing, it blew me away, and it was everything i had ever wished for from a blink show. mark was great, tom was annoying and not really that funny, and travis was simply the most talented drummer i have ever seen play... ever.
