So picture this. It's a stormy Tuesday morning about 1130 am and your favorite musician is playing just 4 hours away from you. So you rent a room and book a rental car and head off to Houston. You drive through some crazy freak storm and just hope to get to the other side. Four hours with you daughter who thinks the sun sets and rises with this musician.
Fast forward to about 430pm and you are now in your hotel room. Time to shower and be ready to leave for 8pm show. In the shower, out the shower. As you are doing your hair, which is only half done your cell phone rings. A ringtone that can only be one person alerts you that this is an important call.
"Hey Matt"
"Hey Shirlise"
"What's up"
"I have some bad news"
"What"
"the concert has been cancelled"
"Are you serious"
"Yup"
"What is it about us and Houston"
"I have no idea"
---fil in some chit chat---
"we are leaving here at 6 if you want to come and hang out for a bit"
"6"
"yeah i'm not even sure what time it is now"
"5:11"
"How far away are you"
"About 20 minutes"
---at this time you think, how fast can I get dress and damn hair is only half done---
"is it even worth you travling down here"
"no problem, let me get my daughter and i will call you when i get to the venue"
---fast forward less than 10 minutes and your kid thinking you are nuts---
into the car where you turn on your GPS, cause there is no way in Hell you will even get through Housont on your own.
---fast forwrd to 550---
"hey shirlise"
"hey matt we are by the trucks we can't find the busses"
"I'll come meet you"
---standing outside the venue angry works bitch about the cancelled show---
Just when you are about to call your favorite musician back your daughter says "there he is"
---you think, how the hell did she spot him---
As he makes his way toward you all you two can do is laugh and say, what is it about us and Houston?
An amazing 20 minuted later the whole trip was made worth wild by the look of sheer pleasure on your daughter's face. that and the fact that she never shuts up, but around Matt she is speechless. Along with some great inside info you find out that the long awaited for Matt beck cd is in the making and almost half way done. Not bad for a four hour trip.
Hotel Room $85.00
Rental Car $94.00
Starbucks $8.00
Games to play instead of going to concert $50.00
Food $??? (way to much)
Spending time with Matt Beck while your daughter stands there awe struck for 20 minutes "PRICELESS"
When you want to see Matt Beck take along your Mastercard and stay the hell out of HOUSTON!!!
