let me tell you about my crazy ass journey to PA with my co-worker alisha this weekend. so alisha is this 25 year old esthetician that i work with at the spa and she's probably the coolest person ever. she invited me to go to PA with her this past weekend to promote Nelly's Pimp Juice, at this concert featuring an underground band called Hazardous Communications (she's friends with the lead singer). So we leave around five o'clock and start driving... we have the BEST conversation ever like wow.. i learned so much from her, but yeah.. um so we're driving and it's been a while.. so we're like wtf and call the band's producer. he tells us we're 80 miles past the exit.. lovely.. so he tells us to take this other exit, so we go.. we reach a toll and ask the toll guy where the bedford exit is.. "you're about 25 miles past it"..so basically we're 105 miles past our desired destination.. the toll guy tells us to take the upcoming 'cranberry' exit.. but we only see a eerie pittsburgh exit so we're like wtf... we take the next exit we see and get COMPLETELY lost. we end up in incestville ghost town and i swear it was like the movie wrong turn or something.. we're freaking out and so we get back on some other highway and see the sign that says "TURNPIKE" so we're like rock on we're back on the PA turnpike right?
WRONG
we reach a sign that says "ohio state line".. yep we're definitly in OHIO .. HOW THE HELL DID WE END UP IN OHIO!?? yeah i have no clue. so we're freaking out driving around, then get to this state police department... they mapquest directions for us and it turns out we're approx. 2 hrs and 45 min away from where we wanna be.... i shit you not
so we're driving and we finally head out in the right direction.. we realize we're running out of gas... we take the next exit to gas up.. try finding our way back to the highway.. doesn't work out so we go back to the gas station and get help from another cop.. we're finally back on track
it starts to snow very hard and the roads are horrible.. we see like random SUV's tipped over on their sides and stuff and yeah.. so we're driving.. after like 3 1/2 hrs we finally get to ALTOONA, PA where we were supposed to be in the first place. we call the band (the concert we've obviously missed) and they tell us they've got rooms 262-266 rented out for everyone at the lodge so just knock etc. we're driving trying to find the hotel... can't find it anywhere.. we see these guys so we ask them where the place is.. one of the guys go "why is there a party over there? you girls trying to party? you know you shouldn't be driving the roads are horrible.. i'm a police officer (he wasn't really) i might have to handcuff you to the bed"... alisha and i stare at each other and we speed off. we reach another gas station and see people there.. i roll my window down and ask this guy where the hotel is... he comes up to my window and u can tell he's fucked up off of god knows what and says " why you trying to go there? you girls tryin to party?" WHATS UP WITH PEOPLE AND PARTYING IN ALTOONA!?
anyway, so we speed of again, the roads are still horrible, and what do you know.. we get pulled over by the cops.. the cop says we weren't driving inside the line.. well what does he fucking expect??? the roads are shitty, i mean honestly.. he thinks alisha's drunk, so he breathalizes her and everything and she tells him about our long ass night and how we just wanna get to the hotel... sure enough she realizes the hotel is right behind us.. so obviously the cop thinks we're totally lying to him... but he lets us go anyway.. we finally reach the hotel... we left at 5:00 in the afternoon... it is now 3:30 in the morning when we arrive..we meet up with the band members, chill for a bit and pass out....
yeah this was a shortened version of our trip.
