Almost certain doom with NIN

Oh. Em. Gee. It’s almost over. I don’ think that I can take it…nooooooo!! Ok…quick recap. Saturday, May 30th, 2009: We awoke from our scary hotel in Chicago and drove to an uber nice hotel in Indianapolis. Somehow we inexplicably lost an hour between Chicago and Indianapolis. Apparently at the state line you also change time zones…we were oh so not aware of this. We seem to be completely losing hours and days. We left our very scary hotel and got into a very very nice one in Indianapolis. We were just a tad late getting to the line because of that whole time zone thing. That’s ok though, we still had fun in line.

We weren’t right on the rail, but we were just as close, 2nd ones in. And as usual, AWSOME show. I still really want to steal Boots Riley’s dance moves…take a look at them:

On another note, it was also Tom Morelo’s birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM!!!! Hope all your wishes come true. Being on this trip has made one of mine come true.

NIN was AWSOME, again. Trent was rockin’ some spiffy cut offs. Personally I think they should have been shorter, you know, Daisy Duke short. Out of all the shows that we have been in, they appeared to have been REALLY into this one.

Apparently while we were in heaven during the show, we were close to certain doom. There was a tornado that came within 10 min of us. Since Jo and I were under a canopy and were in front of the speakers we had no idea. After the show we decided to do a bit of tailgating. We made quick friends with our slightly drunk neighbors. I think they made up for some of the not so cool fans that we have been in line with on some of these shows.

We eventually made it back to the hotel room after quite a bit of laughing. We eventually made up our minds to head back to South Dakota for some eggs cut up in squares. During the drive back I learned that my driving limit is 13 hours at once. After that I am of no use. We drove thru Indiana, Illinois and most of Iowa. Right outside of Nebraska we decided to have a picnic. It was at that perfect time before it gets dark. The weather was great and we had some sammiches and watched a storm start to brew. I think at this moment all I had was love. We drove into South Dakota and stopped outside of Sioux Falls in Canista (or Can of Soda if your Jo). And then, some more driving until we eventually reached Rapid City. While there Jo took me on a tour.

Tomorrow it’s back to Denver to drop Jo off :(. I don’t want this to end.
