Well, I was supposed to go to this with Hayden, but seeing as she was feeling a "little under the weather" I decided that I'd let her off the hook and go by myself. Plus, I didn't really feel like cleaning the vomit off my sandals when I got home. I got there in time for Five For Fighting, who were really awesome. The lead singer is also the piano/acoustic guitar player. He's really interesting - acts weird on stage and gets into his music. I like that kind of thing. He's an emotional emotional musician. And has got some great stories to tell.
Anyway, here's why I'm awesome:
1. I didn't pay for parking. I wasn't staying long and the parking fee was 8 dollars. That didn't sound like such a good deal, so I parked behind the Sunoco station across the street. Suckers.
2. I didn't pay admission. When I got there I sort of cased the joint looking for some sort of secret way in. See, I had missed the whole day (minus two acts) and wasn't about to pay the 10 dollar non-member fee to see an hour and half of music. Finally I came across a gate that was wired shut. I peered through and didn't see any official-looking people, so I made my move. I undid the ties and squeeked through and quickly retied the wire before many people noticed. Only the people next to the gate really looked at me, and I gave them the fingers to the lips "we're in this together" look and they gave me the thumbs-up "A-OK".
And here's why I suck:
1. I got ticketed 20 bucks for the illegal park job (much steeper than had I just parked legally).
2. I got lost, like I always do on the way home, and accidentally found myself going over the Ben Franklin Bridge (like I've done many times before - just ask Reb). For those of you who know, it's free to go onto Jersey, but they charge you 3 dollars to get out.
So, what I thought was a scot-free event ended up costing me 23 dollars and my awesomeness.
