My Family and I just got back from proll'y the biggest nightmare I've had in some time. I left last night and drove (1 1/2 hrs on a good day - took 3 hrs last night due to weather and stupid drivers), stayed in a motel, and got up this morning to get tickets to a custom motorcycle show - where the main atraction was the Teutuls, of American Chopper fame - and couldn't get tickets at the door as advertised because everyone and their family, it seemed, wanted to see them too. To top it all off, it was snowing(at least 6" in 24hrs) and everybody was spinning out, cutting people off, geting out of their cars, what a cluster f^(!.
I am glad that I didn't pre-pay with a credit card to the tune of $50 for the weekend, or $35 for the day, because the people that I talked to who HAD gotten in said it was so crowded that you could hardly even see the bikes and forget even getting close enough to shmooze with Paul, Paul Jr., & the boys. I will be E-mailing the promoters of the event as well as O.C.C. and let them know what I as well as many others had to deal with.
They should have known that with having a guest like that, that there would have been a big turnout and held the event somewhere like the Silverdome, or other stadium, not some oversized warehouse. Also, it seemed that the local law enforcement was ill prepaired for traffic concerns as well and had no officers arround until things were well out of hand.
In spite of such a bad day, I'm thankful to be home with my family - in one piece - and out of that place..... Beter luck next time I guess?
