1. Radio wasn't working in my car on the way to work. It's a 87 Buick Skylark, so I figure it might be time for the radio to die. Wasn't happy about it though.
2. Radio magically begins working again, I think "Oh, that must have been a fluke" and I safely drive to work.
3. Work for 9 hour shift at radio station (from 3PM to Midnight)
4. I REALLY had wanted to go see Dada perform live tonight, but had to work. I forgot about this show until just before I got home, and a Dada song popped up on random play.
5. It dawns on me: Maybe I might be able to catch the tail end of their set.
6. I make the decision to see if I can at least get my acoustic guitar signed.
7. Not only do I get to catch the tail end of the set, but I got to meet the guys in Dada, and they signed my guitar. Super nice people too.
8. Radio stops working on the way home again. Like a doofus I decide to see if turning off the ignition at a stoplight and starting the car again will help.
9. The car doesn't start.
10. It's like 2 in the morning, and my wife is asleep and cannot hear her phone, so I call my cousin Jeff. Thankfully this is only about 15 blocks away from my apartment, and he also lives close-by.
11. Jeff brings jumper cables, and we try to start my vehicle. Vehicle will start, but will not stay charged. It also will not drive home.
So, Jeff drove me home. I thanked him for his assistance, and my vehicle is about 15 blocks away right now. It could have been much worse, and under the circumstances? I am pretty freeking happy at the moment.
I have new cool signatures on my acoustic guitar
I will worry about whether I have alternator, battery, or other car troubles sometime tommorow. I am actually counting my lucky stars that it broke down as close as it did to home, and it wasn' t on the way to work or something.
ROCK!
