OAR w/Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers

Last night I drove to Champaign to go see OAR in concert. For those of you who don't know the area, that's about a two hour drive. Not bad, but slightly crazy just for a concert. OAR usually puts on a great show, however last night their lead singer Marc was sick, which made the show a little under par. But even under par their still fabulous, amazing, wonderful etc. :) Sorry I don't have a better pic, but seeing as I was sitting way way back (as back as you can get, actually) and my Casio doesn't do a great job with indoor shots, this was the best I could get.

When I finally got home, my front gate (which is never amazing about allowing me to unlock it) decided that it really didn't want me to go home. So it wouldn't let me in. I tried in the freezing cold for over 5 minutes, bent my key in the process, and forced with the choice of just giving up and just spending the night in Jewel (24 hour grocery store across the street from my building) or climbing the fence, I chose the fence. Now this isn't really a climbable fence, so really it basically meant scaling the brick wall and slightly using the fence for balance slash trying to avoid being stabbed by the spikes on top of the fence. And keep in mind this is all taking place in the cold at 1 am after driving for 2 hours. Man... But it was an adventure, right?
