Snow, Music, Beer, Flight, Wind, Snow, Hockey...

Bloggers keep writing in the third person. I feel third person today...

Wednesday:
A little snow flurry turns into a downpour of late season snow north of Seattle. Your hero is almost trapped at his urban palace.

This is only a problem because he needed to get to The Castle to pick up The Colleague for concert in Seattle.

A 30 minute drive? 1.5 hours. Nice. The A3? Kicks ass in the snow.

Wednesday Night:
Big Head Todd and the Monsters at the Showbox? You betcha. Todd Park Mohr is probably the most under-rated guitar player out there. 2 hours of pure rock and roll, punctuated only by Drunk Wife Beater trying to pick a fight with your hero. By the end of the night, and after being threatened by The Colleague, DWB was babbling about how sorry he was etc. His girlfriend for the night? Bye bye.

Thursday Morning
"Welcome to SeaTac, please sit here for hours while the people in Chicago try to decide how to land planes at the busiest airport in the country. We'll be leaving three hours after your scheduled departure, so you could have slept in...."

1 Hour Later
"Your plane is now leaving. Oh, did we forget to announce that? Better dine and dash on that breakfast and get your ass into seat 1A."

2 Hours Later
"I know you've been sitting on the plane for an hour, but we're still waiting for clearance to take off. Enjoy your luke warm water and please don't take out your iPods or laptops."

6 Hours Later
"We're over Chicago. But we can't land, so we're going to keep circling up here in this massive turbulance."

8 Hours Later
Ahmed the Cabbie: "That will be $50."
GVB: "Of course it will be. Thanks for taking the slowest way into town, by the way. I love touring the projects of Chicago."
AC: "Of course, American Infidel. I spit on you."

Thursday Night

Your hero finally finds DVB. Pizza, beer, and a cab ride to the United Center for a Blackhawks game. Or, make that an Avalanche game, because the Blackhawks suck out loud. The 300 people in the United Center agreed. Colorado scored 4 goals in about 3 minutes in the 3rd period. Brutal.
