It was really quite simple. Muh wife and I wanted to sneak off to the neighboring town of Burlington, Vermont one night so that we could find a tasty and quality dinner.
We drove the super duper blue Buick into a town that we had a little bit of experience with earlier that morning. With that earlier trip, we made an educated decision to park at the municipal garage in the center of town. Upon arriving at the garage, we were quickly disappointed as we discovered that the garage was completely full!
Full!
The horror!
The outrage!
How the hell could a municipal parking lot in a pretty sleepy college town be FULL on a Wednesday night at 6:45 in the evening?
HOW?!?!?
The answer?
At this point... we had no idea.. but we couldn't believe it... We still didn't realize what was THE problem as we drove around town until we happened upon a relatively tight street spot.
I managed to squeeze the Buick nicely into a tight spot without once hitting the curb or either of the other bumpers. (I had at least one major success that night!) We then made our way to the local brew pub in town as we were in the mood for some red meat. Our clothing wasn't right and we were glad to be in a warm room once we arrived.
The brew pub had a wait as well...a 30 minute wait to be exact. Now... we never mind that kind of a wait in Jersey as it is to be expected in a state that is more densely populated than India... (no joke....it is..officially...) but a 30 minute wait on a wednesday night? Oh well...
That's when we went to the bar to enjoy one of the local fares before being seated for dinner. Eavesdropping is a fun exercise and sitting at the bar provided us with the opportunity. We quickly found out that a good majority of the people in the place were there for a pre-show dinner...
Who would have the ability to sell out an entire town's parking structure... when there was no arena in sight?
Who would have the ability to completley incapacitate a local eatery.... in the middle of Vermont?
Who? Who I tell you?
Yes... Bonnie Raitt... Bonnie Frigging Raitt.
Behold ...people... Behold the Power of Bonnie Raitt!!!!
