So, I was excited to see the Pet Shop Boys for the first time in Boston on 10/13, and was lucky enough to have a ticket in the pit section so, Friday afternoon, I excitedly left work for the two-hour drive to Boston.
Of course, what happened is that a major accident on I93 closed two lanes of the highway, making a quick trip a four-hour ordeal, so I go there in time to see the second half of the show (which was almost worth anything that had gone before - of course, now I'm itching to see them again!).
Anyway, if you saw an irritable-looking guy at the beginning of the second half of the show, I apologize. I also hope that nobody was seriously injured in that accident (you do have to put these things in perspective - if I had left earlier, it might have been me).
And that's my Friday the 13th story. Thanks for reading (or just bearing with me.)
You had very bad luck this time. Did you meet the boys ?
I tried taking the whole day off from work because i just 'knew' it would be bad driving downtown at 6pm, but I couldn't get out of it. but trust me, never ever again. thankfully tho, I have seen them 3 times before, but it's been a few years, and I was really really bummed I missed 'Minimal' and 'S.h.o.p.p.i.n.g'. grrrrrr so where do you live if you're 2 hrs away? Just curious.
