Road Trippin'

I’m out of town for a few days – drove over to the Gulf side of Florida to visit Tampa Bay’s beaches. Why go to Miami’s beaches when you live there, right? Leave those to the tourists.

Thanks to Pete at IckMusic, I had three-plus hours of the Boss for my ride. I need you to go there as soon as you’re finished here. He’s got some live Bruce Springsteen from a 1978 show at the Roxy in Los Angeles. HE broke the show into three posts, so make sure you check them all.

So no sooner do I show up in Tampa then my rental car conks out. Completely dead. Fortunately I’m at my hotel and not one of the sleazy places where I stopped to buy beef jerky. But now, the car has been towed away and I’m sitting here, on the Internet, watching Comedy Central, and ordering out for food. I could have done this at home for a fraction of the cost.

I may or may not get another car tonight. Regardless, it’s already 8:30, so tonight seems to be pretty much shot.

I just wanted to bitch about things today. I’ll be back tomorrow with some music. If I can’t track down any local stuff, there is plenty on my laptop.
