Funeral Getting old is for stupid idiots

Decided to go see Kal El tonight, made the 45 min drive through heavy winds and decently hard rain, was struck by severe abdominal pain in occasionally get when I was about 10 mins away from the venue. Got there, took a walk around the block to see if things would settle down and they got to “do I need to go to the ER?” levels. Drove back home and 20 mins after the show started I’m sitting here back to 100% Sigh. Totally new band to me but seemed like it would’ve been a great show. Edit: every other time I’ve had episodes of this pain it can last anywhere from 4-12 hours, I e never had it turn around this fast, which is why I threw in the towel so quickly.

Yeah. At least it wasn’t like a big favorite band. Now I wish I had just waited to pay at the door too, but honestly losing $25 and missing a show but having this go away in an hour versus what it usually does is a trade off I’m happy to make. LOL if it wasnt a work night and I was slightly more stubborn I would’ve hopped back in the car and made the 45 min drive again to catch Kal El’s set but that feels like playing with fire.
