I was shafted yesterday.
Was going to see radiohead at the nissan pavilion. My buddy picks me up later than I would have liked but we should still make it in time for the opening act.
On the way there we get rear ended by a korean girl and her family (we were completely stopped when hit). The grandpa in the backseat of their car somehow got his head gashed and had gotten blood everywhere in their car. Their front end was messed up really bad while the car we were in which was actually my buddies roomate's received basically no damage.
The accident took place right next to some cops who were already taking care of another accident so it took forever to have them reconcile the situation. We had to wait for an ambulance and then wait for the cops to give us the paper work and get everything filled out. That takes about an hour.
As we prepare to leave the car won't start.....apparently leaving the emergency light on has sapped the battery so now we have to get a jump start from the cops.
So now we're finally on our way to see radiohead but there is a huge backup. Apparently one of the roads to the venue has been flooded as well as some of the venue parking lots. Some of my friends that were also going to see the show had been within 2 miles of the venue while we were getting rear ended and they hadn't moved at all in traffic.
We take a different exit than our friends but the traffic is horrendously backed up. It takes us forever to get there and park. The parking lot is a muddy flooded mess and is completely
flooded and shitty. We run to the concert and get absolutely dirty and soaked.
We get there just in time to catch the first of 2 encores.......we maybe catch 7 songs.
Not to mention I missed them perform my favorite song Paranoid Android.
My friends that had been within 2 miles of the venue since we were rear ended, had been rerouted and denied entry once they finally got to the nissan pavilion, they never even got to see the show.
Oh I forgot to mention that when I first tried to see radiohead about 5-6 years ago they got rained out and I had waited this long just to be shafted again.
I WAS SHAFTED.
