tool

a not so brief, but amusing run down of the tool concert:

* i'm picked up at my house at noon, and by 12:30 i had heard the phrase "we're going to a tool concert" roughly 20 times.

*megan does countless u-turns because she's actually listening to adam when he keeps naming off different places to grab some lunch. i finally tell him to shut up we go to wendy's.

*we get there at three, parking doesn't open until 5:30.

*we eat at a&w and then debate heading to the corporate bastard of america just to get out of the heat. we decide "f*** wal-mart, let's go get a motel room."

*after deciding to grab a motel room for the night, we try the royal motel with no luck. adam steals a melon...

*we find the red court inn and are about to leave when we're told it's $70 for two beds. when the guy hears us talking about super motel 8, he lowers the price to $55.

*we chillax in the room until about 5:30, when we head down to the amphitheatre.

*parking is open, but the gates don't open until 6:30, so we sit for Otto 45 minutes, wishing the guys in front of us weren't so weird.

*gates open at 6:30, and seating doesn't open until 7:30, so we spend an hour walking around. adam buys a beer, that loser, for $7.50. i but a water for $2.50.

*i call alex because my buddy's supposed to get my schedule for me and tell me when i work on monday. when i finally get a hold of him, he tells me that he forgot to look it up. when i finally get off the phone with him, i'm separated from the group. and of course everyone's wearing black, so looking for megan is impossible. luckily adam's 6'5" and is wearing a neon green shirt, so i find them in about 30 seconds.

*megan sees her ex-boyfriend and i see a guy i have photography class with.

*the gates open and we make it to the lawn part of the amphitheatre where our seats are.

*isis opens for tool, and they kick ass.

*tool comes on and the people next to me start smoking weed.

*we stand for about three hours while my eardrums and inner ear bones commit suicide because i happen to be sitting about six feet behind and ten feet below the speakers.

*after the concert, we go to the car and wait only about 5 minutes before we can get out alright.

*we get lost on the way back to the motel, but not for long. We forgo food for the night and crash on the beds.

*when we're watching tv, adam decides to jump onto the bed, but he doesn't see my head on the pillow, and he hits my nose.

*i bitch him out for a few minutes

*the girls take one bed, guys in the other and i sleep from about 12-5am.

*me and adam, being the only ones up, go to jack in the box (conviently located across the street) and grab some grub.

*we come back and wake everyone up, pissing off a few people.

*we head out by around 8:30, and i realize adam's left my aunt's blankets at the motel by 9:30, but megan doesn't want to turn around.

*by the time i get home, it's about 11:30. i stay up and recount my tales before going to sleep for 5 hours.
