Sadly, though I have only seen GL in concert once, I have a story of complete panic as far as possibly being unable to make it....I left my home as soon as I finished work on a Thurs. morning and was making pretty god time for getting to my parent's house, particularly on a Thurs., which makes for absolutely hideous traffic (in case no one is aware the Seattle area traffic was recently ranked the worst in the country) and I was even early enough to get into second gear tryong to get over....the Narrow's Bridge...ok, this will not strike terror in the fear of people who aren't from my hometown are, but suffice it to say, you usually get over that bridge in about an hour (attempting to go about 15 miles total) and I am almost home when, dead stop. A car about 4 cars in front of my got into a head on collision. This means I sit on the bridge for 45 min. and then they finally let us off and lcose the bridge down. So getting to my parents house was no big deal. The problem...the only way to get out of Gig Harbor without going the REALLY REALLY long way is to go over the bridge. Needless to say I was terrified I would end up missing the concert, an accident on the bridge means the whole thing is tied up for hours. An accident on the bridge during rush hour means even longer. But, they must have known I had matters of great importance to take care of in Tacoma because they cleaned up the mess in what for them must be record time. and i was quite happy to have made it to the concert with plenty of time to spare (almost not making it raelly makes one appreciate the concert though....).
