Hot Carl, Sleepless NightsIt felt so good to sleep on a mattress at Miss Janet's. Breakfast wasn't until 9am so we could sleep in a little. We had breakfast buritos complete with beans, beef, eggs, cheese, sour cream, and salsa. I spent most of the morning uploading photos onto my journal and messing around on the internet. Miss Janet drove worm and I to Johnson City to go to the outfitter around 1. I had worn a hole in a sock so I neeed a new pair. After the outfitter we went to schlotskys deli and I hade a reuben. Miss J was super nice to us and we had a lot of fun driving around. While in town I found out about a jam band named Hot Carl playing at a bar called halo for the 2nd annual 420 throwdown. I was determined to get back for the show.Back in erwin I spent the rest of the afternoon bumming around then I got dinner at erwin burrito again with Hangman. Hangman was working at Miss Janet's for a week giving massages and helping around the house. I convinced him to go to the show with me and he got Miss J to drive us back to JC. She told us we were on our own for getting home. How hard could that be? The show started at 11 and I knew when they opened with Dark Star that I was in for a good night. Halo was a smallish bar with room for maybe 100 people and it was pretty crowded. ETSU is nearby so the bar was mainly filled with college age kids. There were $2 draught blue moon pints on special too! Hot Carl totally rocked and had me dancing all night. Hangman was pretending to have a british accent the entire night and pulled it off so well a girl visiting from Scotland bought it. Time flew and the band stopped playing around 230 but we still had no ride home. The lights were on at the bar and people were leaving. I knew we could get a taxi, but I kept saying to hangman "watch, one more min and something cool will happen" sure enough we ran into saudi and sarah who we were dancing with earlier in the night. They invited us out with them so we hopped in their car and drove around for a bit and found ourselves at a waffle house at like 4am. Believe it or not we actually had to wait for a table like 5 min. After we ate someone suggested we go watch the sunrise. Next thing I know we're driving around trying to find the trail and eventually end up at iron mtn road. The four of us watched the first days light then they drove us back to Miss Janet's. We got inside and the dog started barking, I thought we were picked, but no one was up yet. Then i see the two girls get out of the car and walk up to the house. They wanted to pet the dog who was now barking at them. For what felt like an eternity they said hi to the dog then left as we jumped onto the couches under blankets. Miss J came down like 10 min later! We thought for sure she would be awake by 7, but she wasn't. She didn't know we got back that late.. er early. She prob wouldn't have cared, but who knows.What an anti zero day...I lost an entire nights sleep. I had a lot of fun though and got to see some awesome music.Today's StatsStarting Point:Miss Janet'sEnding Point:Miss Janet'sMileage:0Elevation Gain:0ftElevation Loss:0ftHiking Time:0Weather:Sunny high 60'sPain Factor:1
