I awkwardly stood staring at the machine and asked the person beside me if they had a dime.
Dude totally faked me out with "Dang I only have 8 cents!"

They probably smelled. I don't know.
So instead of watching that hot mess, we stayed on the first floor and got some food.
Then we made it down a few floors to the actually performance area.
So we got our wristbands on and we're about to walk in when this random ass lady emerges from the corner of the shadows
I flip shit and cower in fear at this sudden batmanesque figure.

She goes, "DID YOU GUYS KNOW...You can buy her CD and get it signed after the show?!"
Five minutes later we walk into the room with CD's in hand waiting for the opening act to finish.
This place is boss, btw.
There was a bar and a line of tables in the back.
In the front was the stage and in between was a biiiig floor area full of people.
It was awesome.
And around 9:15, my girl Ellie rolls out looking fly as hell singing her face off.
It was amazing.
Like, you need to be introduced soon.

Okay, except.
We had to situate our standing area a few times because Beth is vertically challenged and there were tall people all up in our business.
And I ended up behind this guy whose dance moves primarily consisted of what I can only describe as rapid hip thrusts.

It ended around 10:20 and the line for the CD signing appeared heading into a door to the side of the stage.
We hung back and sat at one of the tables to rest our weary feet.
Our logic was that if we were the last ones, we would get to talk to her more.
But...
That didn't happen.
She looked really exhausted.
So I was like, "Hi!"
And she was like, "YOU ARE THE MOST GORGEOUS MAN I'VE EVER SEEN."
And I threw her on the table and now we're engaged.

Anyway, we made it out of WCL and we were walking back to 30th street to get back to my apt.
And we get down to the subway and we're waiting.
And we're waiting.
Beth is being entertained by the rats running around on the tracks.

But fear not, fair maiden.
It arrived.
Took FOREVER.
But it did.
And we rode the MFL down to City Hall so we could take the BSL to Girard.
Haha.
That didn't happen.
No it surely did not.
What had happen was this.
1) We got off at City Hall and walked a few feet to the stairs going down to the Northbound Broad Street train.

So it's frickin' 12:30 at night and there are three kids sitting waiting for the train at City Hall.
Something's not right here.
So I go upstairs to ask the person in the booth what was go-
WHAT?!
NO PERSON IN THE BOOTH?
What?
Why are the doors locked?
Is there a chain around that gate?
WHAT?!
WHAT IS-
Guys, I don't think the train is coming.

No, Sara, it's okay.
I'll just call the police if we're locked in.

I scurry to find where we are and I whistle down a taxi.
We get in and I'm like, "15th and Master, please."
Dude has the toll starting at $2.70.
I let it slide because I just didn't care anymore.
Dude is on his bluetooth the whole time.
Dude keeps driving past Master.
Dude eventually turns around and asks if we're here yet.
NO, DUDE.
WE'RE NOT.
I tell him, "Just drop us off here."
So he pulls over to the next lane and SURPRISE.
There's a car there, dumbass.
So we all almost die.

So then she went back to her place and I set up everything and they slept over.
