PholkTales: Near Catastrophes
Last phall tour, myself, my wife, and two friends went to the Aimes, IA and Minneapolis, MN shows, though this story has to do with the second show in the cities. we find a nice spot in the lot to hang out and were keeping warm with a couple beverages having a good time. its here i should mention that our friend Jason was a new friend and we hadn't ever really gone anywhere with him before. But we were all having a good time and getting to know each other. so it was time for the show and we headed in. 

by this time jason is pretty drunk and isn't a hard core phan as many of us are so he took a breather so to speak during the first set. he made a good coat rack as we all danced our asses off. at the start of the second set jason comes to life and after a little bit says he's going to the bathroom. well that was the last we saw of him. 

when the boys came out for the encore and there was no jason i knew we were in trouble. meanwhile our other friend michelle is getting pretty messed up since she met up with some friends from her hometown. the show ends and we head to the lot. no jason to be seen, and now michelle wants to go to the bar across the street but my wife just wants to crash. 

michelle doesn't listen and off she goes, so now were left in the lot, freezing and our friends are no where to be seen. this wouldn't be too bad, except for the fact that we had just travelled about 500 miles to get to the show, so it wasn't like they could bum a ride home. so i headed our for the bar across the street in search of michelle while my wife waited for jason. well i found her and brought her back and low and behold jason found his way to our bus(vw). 

turns out jason couldn't find our section after he went to the bathroom so he wandered around the show, talked to a guard backstage for a while and eventually met up with 2 girls, left the show, got in a cab and ended up on the other side of minneapolis! when he started to sober up he flagged a cab and hopped a ride back to the venue and found our bus, just in time for us to head out and find a hotel. a fun night and good story and were all still great friends.
