it actually all started tuesday, i woke up feeling dead sick but thought “no big deal” i’m headed to chicago today and i love chicago, but chicago was getting some bad-ass snow and flight = canceled, then thought “no big deal” our show isn’t till tomorrow it might actually be good i can go home, sleep off this killer cold, play a tighter show, we got our flight rescheduled for wednesday 1:15pm. woke up got ready to go, checked with the airline, again flight = canceled, “no big deal” we got them to give us seats on the the 4:15, go to the van to drive to the airport, of course it doesn’t start, opened the hood and for some reason huge pile of snow just on the battery, “no big deal”, we called a car service. we made it to the flight just on time after a slow snowy drive and some running through the airport, (knocking over young children and the elderly of-course) and then we sit and wait. about 4 hours, as our gate sign changes from tampa to chicago to burbank (when the chicago crowd started yelling “boooooooo bank!”) (ya’ll a rowdy bunch.) then changes back to chicago. but it’s “no big deal” cause we board around 8. people are super psyched, and if we left at 8 we’d make it to chicago around 10:00, plenty of time. we’re sitting on the plain and of course they keep teasing us saying we’re leaving, we even backed up for a second then drove forward again. after about an hour and a half of sitting there our phone runs out of battery but i found a plug in the bathroom so i’m sitting in there while people are banging on the door for like 15 minutes talking to scott our booking dude who is in chicago about what in the world we should do, he says even if you can make it by 1:30 am do it! but another hour and a half passes and they tell us there is no way the flight can leave for even another 2 hours, so we know we’ve missed this show.
this story even continues… but it’s too long already, but all in all
we’re super sorry and we love chicago and we’ll be back soon.
