announcement: one spot still left in my ART FOR FIVE post! get it while you can… now back to our regularly scheduled post…
Last night, I went to review a Rascal Flatts / Darius Rucker concert at the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center, about 40 minutes away from where I’m living in Buffalo. I won’t talk too much about the concert itself, because I think I summed that up in my review, but what I will talk about–and what I wish I could have mentioned in my review, but it was too late–was the parking situation after the show.
Long story short, I sat in my car without moving in the parking lot for 2 hours. 
TWO HOURS.
That was starting at 10:40, and even after sitting still for 2 hours, I still moved incredibly slowly for another half hour, so I got home around 2 a.m. To say I was furious was an understatement… I thought I might actually lose my mind waiting in that car for so long. It’s one thing to wait in line with someone else (a la Bonnaroo), but alone..? Torturous! Oh, and my phone ran out of batteries while I was sitting there. 
So yeah, for the search engines: DARIEN LAKE THEME PARK PERFORMING ARTS CENTER BAD HORRIBLE PARKING ENDLESS LINE TWO HOURS
That was mean, but I’m feeling vindictive.
In other news, I finished Battle Royale, and I think it might have been the first 600+ page non-Harry-Potter book that I read in such a short period of time. Unless you have an extreme aversion to violence (lots of it), I highly recommend it to anyone. Go pick it up.
And now I’m off to pick Tom up from the train station–he’s been away for almost two weeks but he’s coming back! 
!
Look, im too drunk to understand your car blog but you’re invited to my blog party. Come now. It’s so fucking awesome. And really elite and stuff.
Oh, something…
FLASH.. AAAAH! Savior of the universe!
Also, I dont drive. But I constantly dream of driving so maybe I can drive…hmmm… I hate cats that mate they’re so dirty and loud.
Ahhh don’t you hate that. After the Radiohead show I was telling my boyfriend and his friend that we should could pretty much put the car in park and no one would be bothered by it.
We sat in traffic for probably two and a half hours to get out of there. And the worst thing about it was they had like seven lines pouring into one to create this horrific bottleneck situation– absolutely a horrible way to end an otherwise wonderful night.
Good for you though, let the people know!
-M.
HAHA I’m sorry
Battle Royale definitely seems like fun summer reading – that and Jaws and Silence of the Lambs – all those violent suspense novels <3
I'm going to cheat and sign up for your Art For Five!!
If you think Battle Royale sounds like fun READ IT!!! It is really good. You’ll finish it within the week, promise.
And glad you signed up!
2 hours? That sucks dude.
And congrats on your finishing of a “non harry potter” 600+ page book. Woo!
I am so amused that you went to a country concert that I can’t even focus on this parking issue. Rascal Flatts’ concerts ARE way-over-the-top but, hey, they’re fun.
I mean homie laugh all you want, I got paid to go.
