Sure, I guess in the grand scheme of things, driving another 30 minutes around town and then having to move my car isn't that big of a deal, but my theory is this: I saw Henry Rollins do a spoken word performance in Morristown about 3 years ago and he came up with a brilliant idea. Anyone who wastes his time (and in this case, my time was definitely wasted) owes him that time. For instance, the guy ahead of him at the airport who takes way too long owes him a few minutes and so on. While the idea is perhaps impractical, that's the thought that always pops into my head when I encounter a situation like that which can be avoidable IF THEY WOULD JUST HAVE IT AT A DIFFERENT TIME! Oh what I could do with all of those wasted hours... Sorry for shouting, but while it may be good for the community, ultimately it does more harm than good if people are inconvenienced by it in such a manner. Call me a selfish bastard if you like, but you still can't convince me.

P.S. Where was it advertised? I didn't see it advertised anywhere.
