Sooo yes this has been a very exciting weekend, what with the whole road-trip-gone-askew fiasco on Friday, then Saturday thinking of having to play for mass when in all actuality I don't, and then today (later on after the sun actually comes up) i'll have peeps over to play Gene Shalit and review my rough cut of the band documentary, which is now looking like pure hell. ( the doc, not the peeps comin' over thing. )
Peeps are nasty. Especially when they've been sitting in your easter basket for, well, since Easter. OOH CRAP I was talking abotu the trip. Right-o.
Ok anyway our trip started out leaving Central after a show choir practice and heading out on the highway after picking up Tyler. My sister was in teh front driving and tyler and I in the back chit-chatting and whatnot.. This sets the general mood of the trip. An account of some of the more hilarious things follow this colon. :
- Always wanting to find somewhere to eat (BURGER KING!!!) and never actually getting to a burger king, but passing like tens of thousands of subways, wendys and mcdonaldses and not stopping.
- Coming to the realization that we'll never eat (tyler and I ) and pretend we're driving... UPon seeing a corn field, we pretend we swerve whilst yelling "CORN!!"
- Seeing a lone smokestack some miles away and being reminded of home. (sad, if you think about it)
- Again coming to another realization... we were lost. My sister said this like four times before it sunk into our heads that "durr, she needs help finding her way back to kansas and whatnot"
- after driving 60 miles out of our way after NOT turning where we were supposed to, ending up in COSHOCTON ( out in God's country.... jeez oy that place was STRANGE ) and stopping in King/Uncle Charley's Tavern and Pub.. walked in, sis says "no maps, let's go" and not even getting to smell the food. :(
- after the Charley's tavern thing, get back in the van, drive to Tim Horton's because we're all freakin' starving and upon seeing no burger kings or anytyhing of the sort, sis asks for directions and we order food. w00t. food has been gotten. Anyway, these girls that work at the Tim Hortons had a southern accent. upon hearing this accent, fear was struck into my heart that we were in like, kentucky or something.... quite strange.
- Anyway, we get directions that no one remembers, so we go across the street to a BP and tyler and I sit in the van eating while sis gets directions from a "retarded lady" (her words, not mine). OFF WE GO IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION (we think)
- Sis got map from BP that commissions tyler as Official Co-Pilot and Only Sane Person In Vehicle That Can Read A Map
- Tyler found a route from Coshocton, going West ( i think ) that ends up in Mount Vernon (in like Knox country or something) .... finding really REALLY funny city names (aka Bangs, Fredericksville [haha], etc. [EUREKA'S "CASTLE" hahahaha])
- "is that 13???" -sis "IT'S 3! KEEP DRIVING!!" -tyler and I
- rediculously trying to read a map and distribute food (donut sex!) and find the right routes and turning lanes and such. quite fun.
ANYWAY we finally make our way into ashland and when we do, we see like 10 MILLION burger kings (!!!) which really tick me and tyelr off because we wnat to eat them all up even though i'm not very hungry i still agree. soo anyway we almost puke cuz sis is driving like 50 mph in a parking lot trying to be smart, yet is still rediculously hilarious simultaneously. (whoever said she has a 8 year old boy inside of her or something was completely correct)
So yeah we make it to the concert after missing like 8 other songs, but we catch 2.5, 3-ish songs. they were all very cool and the AU Jazz band deserves much props and song and dance because they are t3h aw3s0m3!! Anything Goes is by far my favorite.
I also got to meet Jack. Jack has a bass trombone. I played it. I was happy. I bid Jack adieu cuz the surrounding air around Yours Truly got very geeky cuz i got to play a bass trombone. It's really not that hard, but you can go verrrry low.
Yeah anyway on our way back home we found the correct route back and it took like half the time it took to go up to ashland.... go figure. Music on the way = Rent and tyler snoring.
In conclusion, ROUTE 250 IS YOUR FRIEND! MAKE THE TURN! or a certain teacher will MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A BLOODY ACCIDENT!! (friendly nicknames ha)
Quite fun. Makes for a good blog entry!
In conclusion, please see full prescribing information, inclding the boxed warning regarding Lactic Acidosis.
