head games.

so i was supposed to hang out with evan and do something today, but that didnt happen. i say today, like im actually wriiting this on that day...im not. but that'll be our secret. so anyway...the previous plans fell through so i went with the backup. seeing foreigner.

the show was pretty all right. im really only familiar with their greatest hits album, so i wasnt expecting to know all the songs, but thats pretty much what they played. so it worked out pretty well. they played a brand new song and one of their first ones. both of which were new to me. but yeah...the show was awesome. i wasnt expecting to stay for the whole thing, but i ended up being there singing my heart out for the duration of the set. minus those two other songs...and that drum solo. cant really sing to that.

after the show, i followed the crowd to the exit. or so i thought. as i turns out, i took the longest possible route to the exit. so i get to the exit, after 30 minutes of manspeed walking (jogging pace for a non-man), and they funneled everyone out through two small doors. eventually they opened all the doors. why not do that in the first place? this was at busch gardens williamsburg, by the way. so i get out of the park and head to the train/shuttle thing to get a ride to my car. i used every trick in the book to cut ahead of many a person and get to the front of the line. it was nothing short of amazing. it was at this point i realized i was in the stroller only lane. so i switched to another lane. and at this point i realized i wasnt even in the right section. there was a whole other shuttle i needed to take. terrible. i went over there and i didnt see a solid opening to cut again so i figured id man up and walk to my car. as my luck went, i was in the farthest parking lot...at the back. i thought i had parked strategically. i had not.

so several minutes later i get to my car. and of course by this time the park was closed and everybody was leaving at once. so what does that mean? a severely crowded parking lot. slowly but surely im making my way out. emphasis on slowly. i let a car or two in along the way as is the way traffic works. well, this one woman wanted to get in. so she starts inching out in front of me. well, i wasnt really trying to have that so i made it clear. now, normally i keep a comfortable distance even in these traffic conditions. but this time? no. i sat up and made sure i got as close as possible to the car in front of me. the woman yells at me from her window and says "youre not gonna let me in?"...i say "i let them in, the people behind me will let you in...its like taking turns." makes sense right? to most, anyway... she yells back "well you can let me in right now"...i say "no...i cant do that" and turned back to face traffic. she yelled more and i couldve rolled up my window to ignore her, but i wanted her to know i heard her. so i left it down. and after i successfully denied her access. i let in the car parked next to her. just to anger her. yeah...im that awesome.

so, 30 minutes of man-walking. 30 minutes trying to get out of a parking lot. not that great. foreigner and putting that woman in her place. damn two turn tables and a microphone...thats where its at.
