Don't pee on the freeway

Getting pulled over is never a good experience. I finally experienced this for the first time on one of our Magical Journeys to see Circa Survive...

It all began with us running late, as usual. Cisco and I were getting ready to go and decided to go to Chipotle to eat, Adriana was going to meet us there with Johnny. Amber was still at work when we got there but arrived to see us stuffing our faces with Jaime. The people that were actually going to see Circa were Amber, Adriana, Cisco, Jaime and myself, unfortunately the tickets were bought BJ. So we were supposed to leave at 5:30, by the time Amber got there it was already like 5:15, at least. Amber and Jaime leave Chipotle to pre-game as the number one rule states and Cisco and I follow a few minutes later. Of course we don't leave on time, do we ever? We started drinking and finished getting ready... when Cisco decides to foreshadow that nights events and say that he gets really nervous whenver we drink outside the apartment. We laughed it off and finally left around 6:30 or so in my G-ride.

We finally get on the freeway and there's some traffic. We're getting worried because we didn't want to miss the show... the alcohol kicks in. Amber really needs to pee.... we pull over and she goes pee. I've had to pee for a while too and go pee as well.... boom, the cops pull up behind us. What the hell? We pulled ourselves over?! So I see them and tell Adriana to hide the alcohol... because of course we were drinking in the car. At first they laughed it off... but then she saw them in the rearview mirror. We quickly get back in the car and the officer comes upto us. Asks if we've been drinking... all that bullshit. Finally he asks for the registration. Uuum, where is it? It's my mom's car and I don't know where she keeps it. He then asked why Adriana was driving if it was my car. Adriana had a true poker face and explained that I was really tired because I had a long day and had offered to drive. He accepted it... I finally found the registration and insurance after calling my mom. Oh, and since it's possible to get arrested for peeing in public Adriana and Jaime totally got my mom's cell phone number so that if I did she could come get me. Funniest part of the night.

The cops finally just decided to give Adriana a ticket for pulling over on the freeway when it wasn't an emergency. I felt incredibly bad, Amber and I will pay for this ticket. So the traffic is still bad we're all in a bad mood and point out that Francisco was right in being nervous when we drink outside the apartment. What the hell, Francisco? Why are you always right? We finally get off the freeway and what the hell do you think happens? We got lost. Fuck. Amber really has to pee again and gets off the G-ride to go into a restaurant and pee. Cisco goes with her... we pull into a parking lot and get stuck. The G-ride is a fucking huge. Oh, and p.s. Cisco named her Heifer. So we stopped at a gas station, get gas, get directions and finally head in the right direction. We get there and literally run to the venue, the Mayan Theater, and get to the door and ask if Circa Survive had gone already. Apparantly they weren't going on until 10:05, Amber. Doors opened at 6:30, we all laughed about it. So we got there around 8:30 so we decided to chill. Amber and I decided to go back to the car for the cigarettes. We get inside, we're all still in a somewhat bad mood and we wait for Circa Survive to go on. The band before them really sucked, really. We all wanted to jump off a bridge when they were done. As soon as Circa Survive came on, we all forgot about the nights events so far and enjoyed the show, which was an amazing show. We quickly got seperated from eachother, but we didn't care. We were all moshing and Amber and Adriana crowd surfed. It was an incredible experience. After the show we found eachother really quickly and just talked about how great the show was. We get to the car and head back, without getting lost. Jaime and Francisco both spent the night.

Adriana and Amber woke up late the next morning. I woke up and Jaime did too, we laid in bed talking and listening to rap music. It was funny. Amber called and needed me to bring her something to work, so that's how my day began. I dropped off Jaime at school, took Amber her thing, and so began the magical journey of getting Francisco's Gala ticket.

I will explain how Gala went on another post. Another good night.
