"I'll get you Mark. ~Ryan"

[exsequar]

Well!

That was definitely the stupidest thing I have ever done for a band, but hey, I have to return the failbots' fail in kind sometimes. :P

The weather channel said "snow flurries" for Toledo, 1 inch accumulation. AHAHAHAHAHA. It was snowing hard, with strong winds, most of the drive down there AND during the show AND on the way home. Flurries my ASS. On the way down I got stuck in a inching traffic jam for fully an hour - a semi had gone completely off the road, turned 180 degrees, smashed up its front entirely and split open the trailer part. It was pretty dramatic and terrifying. The roads were just - terrible. Nothing was being done except a little sand.

The way back was both worse and better - the roads were in much worse condition (probably 3 inches of snow built up), but there was almost no one on the road so I could just concentrate and drive straight. So that was fine if exhausting and slow.

HOWEVER, all of my efforts were nearly dashed by two (probably drunk) assholes, two minutes from my house, who did a SKIDDING 360 TURN RIGHT BEHIND ME AT A RED LIGHT. These guys missed me by maybe three feet. WHAT THE FUCK. Then they peeled out, tires squealing, and pulled up next to me at the light. They were cracking up. OH MY GOD YOU SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO EXIST. HATE STABBITY HATE. >>>>:(

Ahem.

Now I am EXHAUSTED, but happy because Empires is always, always worth it. <3333 Especially when you manage to start a war between Ryan Luciani and Mark Rose becuase you're going to the latter's show instead of the former's. OOOOOH. Ryan even wrote a THREATENING NOTE for me to pass on to Mark, ahahaha. What are these boys?! <333

More complete report tomorrow. Suffice to say they were amazing, I love RyanJ's face, and I am so relieved to be home safe.

And yes, I am listening to very old school Backstreet Boys.

*FLOPS*

I am so glad you're home safe! Glad the Empires were worth the risk, lol. <3

D: I'm glad you made it home safe. That sounds really terrifying.

Yeah... it's a Level Two snow emergency here, which means no driving. And about an hour south of here, my roomie's family's house is Level Three, which means no driving really they mean it. I think we may have gotten like a foot last night. I have to hoof it to the other end of campus in a few hours... do not want.

ACK, I'm so glad you made it home safely, bb! And that you had a great time at the show, of course. <3

Oh my god, I hate driving in snow. I feel your pain.

But it's cool that you got to go, yay!

I'm willing to do a lot for a band I love, and empires falls under that umbrella, but driving in inclement weather is not one of those things. Congratulations, you've bested me. :P I'm really glad you got home safe, and that it was worth it! ♥

Yikes, glad you're safe!

Our predicted minisnowmageddon failed signally to materialize.
