What a night...

after driving 5 hours, we missed 3/4 of a show due to a time zone change, AND I shattered the screen on my phone.

Who were you going to see and what did you listen to on the way home?

Aw man. That's lame! How'd it happen?

How did you manage to shatter the iphone's screen?

Dang! That really sucks man what you just didn't realize there was a time change difference ?

Yeah I guess but how do you go some where and not realize about the time zone difference especially driving 5 hours way .....

When i posted, we were stopped at a burger king still on our way back, so i couldn't go into much detail.

Anyway, we went to Louisville to see Nicole Atkins (again).* We went through Illinois without much trouble… then we had to stop for gas. Now, i have a Proclip mount that my iphone sits in perfectly, and i usually just leave it there for short stops. Except this time, since it had been a few hours since i had a chance to check twitter, email, etc… so i figured i'd grab it and check while the car was filling up. On my way out of the car, i had my keys and phone all in my right hand, and was in the process of putting them in my right jacket pocket while i got the pump hooked up… keys made it… iphone… not so much. It first hit the edge of the car, and then fell face-flat on the concrete. It's pretty F'd.

Then about halfway through indiana, my friend asked me, "Hey, why does your iPhone say it's 7:30, but your head unit says it's 6:30?"

[insert various expletives here]

believe it or not, that made me more upset than my cracked iphone. So, the show started at 8, we got there at about 8:30, watched three tunes, talked with Nicole for a minute, then took off again.

on the way back we listened to a roadtrip playlist i keep adding to. It really helps pass the time.

most roadtrips i do are either north or south... Like Chicago or Dallas. This time it was due east, but Louisville KY just doesn't seem "east" enough to me... so it just didn't cross our minds.
