What was your longest drive to a weird Al concert?

See topic for my question.



My longest drive was from my house in Ludlow, MA (south-western Massachusettes) to Warwick, Rhode Island. About 2.27 hour drive.

Well, I didn't drive, but I flew over 2800 miles from Albany, NY to Orange County, CA to see Al. It was worth every mile.



The shortest distance I traveled -- 2 blocks.

Geez, you could have invited the guys over for twinkie weiner sandwiches after the show...

My longest drive would be from Northern New Jersey to Ontario, Canada. I went there to see Al concerts in Toronto, Hamilton, and Kitchener. Plus I saw some Arrogant Worms concerts and did some sightseeing. I guess it took about 8 hours to get there, though I did have to stop to pick up someone at the Buffalo airport.



After I finally got home, I had added 1680.6 miles to my car.



The furthest I probably travelled to see an Al concert would be to Green Bay, Wisconsin for the very first show on the TWS tour. However I went by plane for that one.



The shortest distance I had to drive for a concert was probably about 25 miles or so to Morristown, NJ.



The shortest I had to travel for a concert would be for the first time I saw Al in New York City. It's only about 10 miles away. I didn't drive however. I walked to the bus stop, got on the bus, and then walked a few blocks once I got into the city.

Can you drive across the Pacific Ocean?

Well, I suppose you could TRY. But I'm not recommending it. And don't drink and drive.

It would be considerably less life-threatening to find a concert promoter willing to pay Al & the guys to come to Australia. I think. I don't know how dangerous Australian concert promoters are.

I am trying to figure out if you had that story and were just waiting for a place to post it. Or if you went out and found it just for your post.

I went searching for "amphibious car" (I knew they existed) and, well, how could I pass up a story like that? :biggrin:

[scottidog]

Whew! I feel so much better now.

[stupidsurgeon27]

Hmmmmm. 15 minutes for my very first concert.



But I flew for when I went to Orange County.



8 hours for AlCon even though that's not a concert.



Then again, I can't drive. :lookround:
