Death Cab for Cutie

Recently I received free tickets to see Deathcab for Cutie from my friend and co-worker Joe, who is off in Mozambique/South Africa right now (on Uncle Booz’s dime no less!). I never managed to go to this “emo lovefest” because Aaron and I were dumb enough not to look at the actual date of the concert.

I just assumed that there was only one show, and Aaron just assumed that the tickets I got for free were for the same night he was planning on getting them. Well, you know what they say about assumptions.

Here are a few other things that added insult to injury:

1. It was raining.
2. There was traffic all the way to DC because it was raining.
3. It was cold.
4. It was in Constitution Hall, which meant parking was nonexistant. We drove around for ~30 min looking for parking, and finally found a metered spot 8 blocks away. While we were examining the parking rules, a ‘homeless’ man asked Aaron for change. Aaron gave him 75 cents.

Aaron and I didn’t notice the date until after we had walked ALL the way to Constitution Hall (in the rain). I actually managed to show my ticket, get the barcode scanned, and walk inside the lobby before Aaron called me back because he was stopped at the door. Let’s just say I was shocked. Then depressed. Then whiny.

To not make the night a total bust I then decided to go to the grocery store to get some milk so I would at least have something to eat for breakfast today. Well, my Safeway didn’t have the milk I always get (Silk Light Plain!!). It just wasn’t my night. :P
