It’s long been established that I’m a huge fan of 311. HUGE. I go basically anywhere within a days drive to see them when they tour. Yep, they are awesome enough for me to spend an entire day driving to see them.
3-11 day this year fell on a Thursday. It has previously been held in New Orleans, which sadly is NOT within a days drive. This year it was in Vegas. Hallelujah! Oh wait, let’s go back to 3-11 day fell on a Thursday. All of my vacation/PTO days are earmarked for weddings and Itay, so I have 0 left. Like I have calculated down to the hour how much time I will have away and have used every last second speaking my pretend Italian and eating glorous Italian food. This means I can’t even take part of a day off for fun things like 311.
Whatever, they’re doing a mini-tour at the moment and I went. It was seriuosly awesome, as always. But yesterday I talked to a friend who ventured out to 311 day and wouldn’t you know it – this thing was EPIC. So apparently they played for 6 HOURS. SIX! While I have no doubt I would have been exhausted beyond belief after this, I also have no doubt this would have been the single most amazing experience of my lifetime.
SO SAD I MISSED IT!
Here’s the deal kids. 3/11/11 falls on a Friday. I’ll be damned if I don’t go. In fact, I’ll even expand the concert perimiter. Forget 1 day drive, I’ll go anywhere in the United States. Is it too early to put in a request for a day off?? lol
