We left after Paul because 3 days of very little sleep and 100+ temperatures left Stephanie and I exhausted. Since she had to drive us home, we felt it best to leave at 9:30, rather than wait until after midnight. It happens. We missed Air and Rage Against The Machine. I've heard that Rage doesn't give the best concerts... I know that sounds like sour grapes, and I kick myself a little for missing out on Rage. All in all, it was the right decision, though. About a half hour into the 4 hour ride home, Steph couldn't drive anymore, and I took over the driving.
It was a crazy weekend though. All that describes the event, I can't even speak to where we were staying. Ai yi yi. The debauchery drama house. Heh. Suffice to say that renting a vacation house in Palm Springs for the weekend was one of the kewlest/ smartest decisions we've ever made. That was just too much fun. Much love to the housemates!
