i know the feeling

i woke up this morning and Opie (of Opie and Anthony) was lamenting his experience yesterday at the Jets game (played Miami). he admitted that he naively believed that getting there a little over an hour before kickoff would be a good idea. he hadn't expected it to take over an hour after paying his $15 to actually park (lot Y) and then get shuttled back to the stadium. then when leaving, it was even worse and what should have taken 15 minutes to get back to NYC, took over 2 hours. all i could think about when listening to this was when TK and i saw Tool on 9/29.

we got there a little before 8pm (figuring we'd be able to see some of the opening act, Isis) only to take more than 30 mins to park in a mud filled parking lot in bumblefuck. (we still wonder if we were parking in the next town over)

then LEAVING, took us more time than it took to enjoy the entire concert, so it was nearly 130am (show ended at 11pm) when we FINALLY got out of that parking lot. and what did we learn? paying $35 for VIP parking isn't such a bad idea.

a comment that was echoed to Opie a few times before they went to break.

and yes Opie, i (and TK) know your pain.
