I don't like driving in the ice and snow. Although I'm sure it's different if you're just a passenger. I'm just flying there myself.

Blizzard? Yikes! It's snowing here now and it's accumulating a bit. We had a dusting yesterday and earlier today. I've had enough winter already. I'm over exaggerating, but it did snow all day and we got about 4-5 inches. They didn't plow the roads so on my way home from work down 81 I was sliding all over, It was so scary. My 45 min commute took an hour and half.

I don't like being out of control on the road. Even when I was driving home the other day from NC I was petrified because it was so windy that the car was blowing all over the road.
I used to be fine driving in the snow until we had a huge blizzard in 96. I dropped my friend off after word, spent some time doing things I shouldn't have been and then managed to get stranded at a gas station because my car got impounded. Thought I was going to freeze to death. Shortly thereafter I hit a guard rail in the snow. Ever since then I'm not too fond of the snow.

I don't think you want to know! I'm not sure if I should be proud or embarrassed.
I calculate approximately 2,800 miles on the Corolla for the 9 shows that I have seen. I didn't count the drive to Charlotte or Raleigh because Sonya and Greg were nice enough to drive.

I would love for this to go down, but I don't know if it will. They're already advertising the New Years show on the Double Door website and it doesn't mention Blind Melon anywhere.
A Chicago show would be awesome, but if it does go down, I don't think it would be at the Double Door.
I could be wrong though. I hope I am.

Travis said mentioned something about another club wanting to do it too, so hopefully it just means they're going with that one.
Like I said, it's nothing official but I sure hope it happens (and I can make it)

Rogers did say they were cheap. Maybe we could pool our money and get them to play in my backyard.

Seriously, I'd pay good money for that. Me too. Damn, that would be cool. Do we have a location for this possible show? If it does happen - it bettter be all ages, and I better be able to go.
