In college, I went to Lallapalozah with roughly 15,000 people when Ministry started up "Jesus Built My Hotrod". I thought I was going to die due to the movement of the crowd. Can you imagine a 1,000,000 person moshpit?
Another time, I was at a Wild Game with roughly 15,000 people in downtown St. Paul and it took me 30 minutes to get out of the parking ramp. I thought I was going to have to kill somebody. In fact, I got out of the car and started directing traffic in order to speed things up. Can you imagine going to a rally with 1,000,000 people? How long would it take you to get out of the local parking ramp? 1,000,000/15,000*30 minutes is one freakin' long time. I would kill somebody and I don't even end my celebrations with AK-47 shots! How could this ever end peacefully? I have a newfound respect for the Lebanese if it did. Of course, I am American and I tire easily of war. 4 years? Enough! The people in the middle east are fighting a war that has lasted 500 times that long. Can you even imagine???

I feel sorry for the poor bastard who got their last. Parking was a bitch and there was no way he got a good seat. And I thought going to the Holidazzle was a nightmare (actually I've never been).
I had a much different experience on Sunday morning. We didn't have any coffee filters, so I hit the streets. First to SA. Nope. Then Walgreens. They freeking sell coffee makers and coffee but didn't have any filters. I ended up at Rainbow to get my drug paraphernalia. Looking back, I should have just gone Macgyver with a paper towel to make my brew.
Let's hope Hezbollah has plenty of coffee filters on hand. A lack of filters can be the spark that lights up that tinder box.
