Disappreesh!

I do NOT want to drive four and a half hours. Also, even if I did want to, I'd have to skip school. This sucks.

I'm also sad, coming from the same perspective of a student in Minnesota.

Boooo megan.

I'm sad, coming from the perspective of someone who lives in a country that does not get as much tmg love as it deserves. And I'm sure people like in the UK and the like are even sadder. Skip school, driving four and half hours? I'd kill to have those as my only obsticles.

Well, they might as well not be coming here cos there's no way I'll be able to see them; it amounts to the same thing. And I think it's wrong to argue in factions like this. We need to stand strong in our collective sadness at not being able to see the Mountain Goats.

yeah, a 20 hour flight is a bit of an obstacle.

a flight across the US is a big obstacle, but that doesn't stand in caliclimbers way.

The closest mountain goats are coming to me are four hours away, it's not standing in my way.

Sadness should be replaced by the irrational desire of setting everything other god damn obstacle aside and going to a mountain goats show this fall.

Well, I wish it were that simple but I don't drive so I'd have to get someone to drive me, which would not be my parents cos they would not approve. The only person I'm really friends with who drives/has a working car is my friend's girlfriend, and he like tMG, but she doesn't know them at all, and I doubt she'd be willing to skip school and drive to Iowa to satisfy our whims.

Hitchkiking? Getting a lift with another goater? Walking? Biking?

It'd be nice to say that I'd walk 250 miles to see the Mountain Goats. I probably would if I knew I'd never get another chance, but as it stands, I'm fairly certain I'll get another chance. I'm just pissed that I have to wait for some unspecified date. And I am kicking myself for not, when they came around the last time, inquiring as to whether or not the venue would let a minor be at an 18+ show with a parent.

I guess I shouldn't complain too much as others have it much worse.

Whatever, I just want to see tMG.

In an update no one will care about, a friend and I made plans with another friend to Greyhound down there. It'll be a long complicated process, but with any luck we will be there!

Greyhounds are fun.

Nobody else believes me when I say I like travelling on them.

Amtrak, however, can go fuck themselves. I hate amtrak.

I traveled to Raleigh, NC from Little Rock, Arkansas and back on a Greyhound this summer. It was loads of fun. See America Right, right?

Top of my list of things to do when I get to America is 'head for the Greyhound'. It'll probably be shit, but it's a cultural reference that I just HAVE to experience myself.

I caught a greyhound from L.A to san diego once. Sure, it was just a bus. But i'll never forget it.

"Let the ticker tape come cascading down
Above the greyhound station"

"I was getting out of jail
heading to the greyhound
you said you'd hop on one yourself
and meet me on the way down"

I'm sure there are more, but I can't think.

FUCK YES!

I just found out about this like five minutes ago. I need to check the main page more.

Fuck.

I'm shaking with excitement. Iowa would be fun, but troublesome.

This fucking rules.

Another update no one will care about:
Again, DISAPREESH! 400 Bar says you have to be 18, no exceptions, even with a parent. FUCK!

This is not fucking cool.
