Road trip Fun :)

I am exhausted today but for great reason. Friday after work I drove with my friends Lauren and Tiffany from McLean up to Allentown, PA to see my brothers band "The Goddamn Gallows" play at The Sterling Hotel. I know the name is a little much but they are GREAT! We started out at about 4pm, right as the storms started to hit in the Northern VA area. It took us until 7pm just to get to Laurel, MD. After passing Baltimore however the traffic ceased. It was great fun singing and laughing with my friends. I drove the whole way down which was surprising since I had been running on three hours of sleep the night before. The scenery was gorgeous after the rain stopped. Chris was scheduled to go on at 8pm but fortunately he didn't go on until 11ish. After a 3 6 hour trip (was suppose to be 3 and a half) we finally arrived at the destination at 10pm. YAY!

I practically clobbered my brother. I was really excited to see him. Tiffany and Lauren hadn't heard the band yet so I was excited to see what they thought. We hung out with the band members and Chris before going on. He gave me a cd and shirt so Lauren and I changed right before they got on so that we would be sporting the merchandise. It was amazing to see the change when they went on, compared to the other bands. When Chris and his band went on everyones attention was turned to them, unlike the other bands where most everyone was at the bar. Lauren and Tiff and I stood from row and center and took a ton of pictures. Of course they loved it. Tiffany couldn't stop screaming in my ear how awesome my brother was. Lauren and Tiffany and I danced and screamed and "completely rocked out". I almost cried at one point(i know sad) because my brother played the drums for one song and it made me so happy! 

They really put on an awesome show! After they're set we stayed as long as we could before I started falling asleep and left to get food. I decided I was awake enough to get us to food and then switch drivers, however during a 5 min period of driving everyone passed out and I was lost in Allentown by myself. Finally got on the right track and started home. Stopped at a gas station at 4am (about an hour after we left) and switched with Tiffany. We got home about 7:30 am this morning. It was long and crazy trip but so worth it. I love my brother dearly and am so grateful were closer then we use to be and that he is doing so well. Here are a few samples of our trip the rest have yet to be uploaded.
