This was the day from hell, like literally when you consider the air temp and humidity. It doesn't address this in the bible, but I'm sure that hell is also quite humid. There were two spectacular crashes, one on the way to the gig, and one on the way back. The crash site to the gig slowed me down by 25 minutes, and when I passed the scene I could see why. It was a double roll over, a big pickup and what I think was a sedan. Hard to tell, it was so bad. Nobody could have lived through that. When I pulled into the gig's parking lot, I wanted to park as close as possible to the door. So I pull into a spot, but then I see a closer one, so I back up and start to head that way. Just then a dude pulls out of his spot hard and smacks right into me. I look at him like wtf? He makes a sorry gesture and I pull back into the spot to get out and talk. He then takes off hard, and by the time a figure out what was happening he was gone. I pulled out to follow, but I didn't see which way he went. Fucking asshole, there is a HUGE dent between the trunk and the wheel well. I feared it would interfere with driving, but luckily it doesn't. I was pressed for time, so I had to go and set up. I asked the management if there were any cameras in the lot, nope. I went to the cop station afterward, they were closed, so I'll go through the futile exercise of seeing what they can do later today. The gig was SO uncomforable, but I survived. On the way home, more traffic because of another nasty accident where a Jeep drove into a ditch at high speed. Not to mention another nasty crash scene in front of my fav Mexican place yesterday night, I doubt everyone lived through that one, either. I hadn't seen accidents this bad in many years. Five gigs down this weekend and I'm exhausted. It's in the 90s all week, and rain almost every day. No ripping, no nothing outside. The heat makes people crazy, and I've had enough of that lately. TLDR - hope everyone had a less eventful weekend than I did...
