A conversation I had last night after happy hour(s): Friend: Man, I got drunk really fast tonight! I only had a beer and a margarita! Me: Well, do you still have that concussion from last weekend? Friend: Yeah, kinda, I guess. Maybe? I imagine that if I were to google “drinking while concussed” it would [...]

Continuation of Part 1… The next morning, we got up and hopped the bus to the Citrus Bowl. We met Pete, who would be our bus driver for the entire weekend. We picked up a few people from other hotels and were dropped at the venue at 11:30 or so, with a promise from Pete that [...]

Music shows are a unifying thing. People come together to sing, dance, sway, and listen to the beats… which is why I make so many friends at shows that The Spazmatics play – we’re just all so damn happy to be singing along to Summer of ’69. If I haven’t pressured you to see them [...]
