I took a little time off between the 89x show and this one. It's tough when you're stuck in the suburbs and are too young to drive.
As far as I can remember it was my brother, Dan Harris, Megan and I who went to this and the Goo Goo Dolls were the opening band.
Dan drove his van and we got to Ann Arbor really early so we went to a pizza place down the street from Hill Auditorium for some food before the show. Dave Pirner was sitting at a table across the aisle from us drinking heavily. Some random girl came up to him and asked if he was the singer of Soul Asylum and he said no then laughed as she sulked away. The whole time they played I kept thinking about how wasted he was at dinner.
On the way home we hit a patch of ice or something that caused us to slide off the freeway onramp, run over a couple of small trees and become completely stuck. Megan and I were in the backseat and both landed on the floor. These were the days before cell phones so we had to rely on random drivers to get us help. I wonder if one of us went with someone to a pay phone because I'm not sure how we were able to call anyone. We were stuck there for quite some time before a tow truck was able to get us back on the road. I think my brother lied and said it was his car so we could use my parent's AAA card.

I love that you're doing this. I think its a great idea and definitely has me looking for all my stubs.
ReplyDeleteI saw that but I can't remember how I got there.
