Check… mates on the road
By Eric | January 22, 2005 3:56 pm
The “road trip” to Binghamton went quite smoothly…
Enough snacks to feed an army… Check.
Mix CD… Check.
Speeder caught on I-90… Check.
Tractor-trailer _sideways_ off the road on I-90, with TWO tow-trucks trying to extracate it… Check.
Dude getting ARRESTED by two troopers on I-81… Check.
75mph the whole way… Check.
It was nothing if not entertaining!
We got there in plenty of time, so we ate at the wholly underwhelming Oakdale Mall, and then strolled into the venue. And what a nice venue. The Magic City Music Hall is a great place to see a show. There’s tables surrounding a spacious floor, and the stage is one of the widest I’ve ever seen! And it was clean! The people working the place were cool, no barrier, no crap. Oh yeah, and the band was good too! Sister Hazel put on a rockin show, the girls had a great time, and I enjoyed myself as well. I’ll have the review up shortly. The drive back was alright, we even made a pit stop in Cortland for gas and some Denny’s. So full. So so full. Ended up rolling back in town about 3:30am, and what time was I up this morning? Yeah, that’s right, 9am. Couldn’t sleep any more than that.
Not that it really matters! We went out earlier to grab some lunch and minor things before hunkering down for the “blizzard” that’s en route. It’s fluffy, it’s drifting, and its freakin C-O-L-D out. The apartment is toasty!

My fingers and toes freeze the instant I walk outside. It sucks right now, but I remember a time when I would have been bundled up like an eskimo and rolling around in it all day.

sounds like a great trip excluding the partakement of the noise known as ‘sister hazel’.
how many hours did tiff prepare these said ‘snacks’, and were they good?
for the record: holy crap was it cold this weekend… nothing like replacing a car battery in the AutoZone parking lot in a gale force wind.
