Okay so, I saw them with the dude I just left lol. Middle of January, and we had just had this absolutely EPIC ice storm hit the city. Everyone thought the show would be canceled, but it wasn't. Didn't think we were gonna be able to go, but a friend had found some tickets for sale on FB, and told us he'd score us some if we wanted. We just had to figure out how to get there. Okay, no problem. My older brother decided he'd drive us all there, and he'd try and score himself a ticket off a scalper or something. Well, my now ex showed his ass the entire time. He bitched and moaned about EVERYTHING and was just determined to make everyone completely miserable. Everyone was absolutely sick of his shit, including my brother. So he drops us off, and said he was just tired and didn't feel like going to the show, but he'd still come pick us up when it was done, just call him. OK whatever. My ex continues to be the biggest douche in the universe. Just non stop bitching and whining and just complaining about everything. We had incredible seats, and I was just so happy to be there, but sitting next to him just bitching non stop was seriously killing me. I tried to ignore him, but everyone sitting around us was staring at us and staring at me like why are you putting up with this asshole???
Well once the music started, he completely changed. Primus opened, and as soon as the very first note started, his attitude immediately changed and he started to enjoy himself. I thought finally, we can have a good time. We'll Primus finished and he went right back to being a miserable jerk. Tool did their set and he was fine again. It was incredible. One of the best shows I've ever been to. I just kept thinking how lucky I was to be there in that awesome seat, even if he was determined to ruin it.
So the show ends, and I start calling my brother to come get us. He isn't answering. He was living with my mom at the time, so I called her, she didn't answer. No one in the house was answering. I could not get in touch with anyone to come get us. Uber/Lyft were still kinda new, and absolutely not running due to the ice storm. It being like, midnight on a Tuesday and the city covered in ice made getting home seem impossible. Our friend managed to get his wife to come get him, but they lived in completely the opposite direction as us, and she didn't want to be driving in such awful conditions. My car was still at my ex's parents house, but was blocked in. Luckily, I had left my car keys there, so his dad was able to get my car out and come get us, but my ex told him to meet us at this spot like, two freaking miles away. Uphill. So we had to walk, still fighting and arguing, uphill on ice to the spot. It was an experience. I was so mad at him, so mad at the situation and being trapped and not able to get home, but it was still one of the most amazing live shows I'd ever seen, so all that misery seemed kinda worth it, you know? So. One of the best and worst nights of my life lol
