I just wanted to share with everyone a couple things I learned while going to and on my 4th of July trip.

1.) New Jersey Transit is lousy. They post your track on reader boards ten minutes or less before the train leaves and when someone walking through the station yells the wrong track and you find out half way down the escalator to that track and you have to turn around and run backwards up said escalator it is hard work. I also understand its hilarious if you are watching me run backwards up the escalator from the top. I only had a huge softball sized duffel bag, a back pack and a purse to hold while I was running as well. Then, when you have two trains leaving within two minutes of each other on tracks across from each other and you cant get down to the tracks for about 5-7 minutes and your train is still sitting there but they wont let you on it, its really, really shitty. I let out my wrath on NJ Transit customer service. Wouldnt you think a service people use on a daily basis like that would be more proficient?
2.) Drinking with Irish boys is a bad idea when all you want to do is talk to there good looking friend who keeps disappearing. Also, doing shots is always a bad idea. You know you've had enough to drink when taking shots sounds like fun. Its not.
3.) Taking Excedrin extra strength makes me feel like this. I should have figured that out Saturday after our drunken 4th of July escapades, but, I didnt. I still felt sick and continued to take it Sunday as well. Taking pills never helped anyone. I need to just stick to water. I think its best.
4.) Connecticut is owned by McDonald. Its full of two lane freeways with all day delays and the only food you can turn off to get is McDonalds. They have double sided pull offs at the same place with McDonalds on both sides. Its disgusting. Just remember, if you have to drive all day through the states of MA, RI, CT, NJ and NY, and you get hungry in CT, exit 18 is your only hope. There is an Arbys there.

If I feel like making an ass out of myself, I will post some pictures of the trip to my flickr. Till then, keep it real.

Oh, hey! I forgot! Im going to Fleet Foxes tonight and might try to hit up The Avett Brothers free show as well, but, I dont really know how possible that is. Ive got to charge my camera. 1 comments
