well tonight was interesting..
so mike arrived at my house around 5 and we left for a show that started in milwaukee around 7. i of course didn't think leaving that early was necessary, since the openers (that were not rx bandits) sucked, and it doesn't take all that long to get up to milwaukee
usually from where i live it takes about an hour and 15 minutes to get up to milwaukee, maybe an hour and a half if traffic on 294 is bad. well let me tell you, it did not take an hour and 15 minutes to get up to milwaukee. it did not take an hour and a half to get up to milwaukee. it did not take 2 hours to get up to milwaukee. it did not take three hours to get up to milwaukee. IT TOOK FOUR DAMN HOURS TO GET TO MILWAUKEE WHICH IS 73 DAMN MILES AWAY
an accident occured on 94 in wisconsin, a few miles north of bong recreation area at around 3.15pm today. according to this article (http://www.themilwaukeechannel.com/traffic/4902833/detail.html), investigators spent hours and hours recreating the accident trying to figure out what happened. i wasn't there at the time of the accident, but i bet you can tell you what happened without trying to recreate the accident. if i were a betting man (i am), i'd bet that the silver sedan was driving along nicely minding its own business, when the SUV (most likely a ford) driven by some moron on a cell phone rolled up and decided to change lanes without using its turn signal or checking its mirrors. of course we didn't know that at the time, and the state department of transportation worker was no help (mark: hey can you tell me what's going on? him: ya -- he didn't say anything else after that), so we made up our own story. it's pretty long and involved, but basically it boils down to a cheese log from benny nelson's cheese house flying thru the windshield of brett favre's ford, coldcocking favre in the jaw and knocking him out, favre taking a right turn into a porn truck that also happened to be full of fireworks, the fireworks all exploding and blowing up other cars, etc. i'm pretty proud of the fact that our made up story includes many WAF stereotypes
what really annoys me about the whole thing is this:
yes it sucks when accidents occur and people get hurt; i can't speak for southern wisconsin highways, but the highways in the chicago area have serious accidents EVERY SINGLE DAY. WE DON'T SPEND 5 DAMN HOURS TRYING TO RECREATE THE SCENE. THIS IS NOT UNSOLVED MYSTERIES. IT'S A 2 CAR ACCIDENT. WOW. ALERT THE MEDIA.
eventually with some help from my bro we took some back roads and went around the mess.. but that does not change the fact that it took entirely too long to get from here to the rave in milwaukee. i have some pretty sweet skills when it comes to getting to a show at the right time, and tonight, despite circumstances that were out of our control, was no exception.. we got there 5 mins before rx bandits played. so they played and it was good, and then we left cause finch sucks extreme amounts of ass. while walking out the door, we remembered that lucky boys were playing in the basement. after deliberating for a couple minutes, we decided to buy tickets to that show and watch the remainder of their set cause let's be honest.. driving 4 hours to see 1 band play for 35 mins is not that satisfying
less than 2 hours (imagine that) after that show ended, i sit here typing to all of you.. truly an interesting evening
ps. the rave, which is like 2 miles from the PBR brewery, does not serve PBR. it's a sad day when a man can't get a pabst in milwaukee.. somewhere, the captain is rolling in his grave
