I missed this gig!
The oldest(but MOST annoying) excuse in the book:
I ACTUALLY RAN OUT OF GAS!!!!
I ran my damn car dry while hunting all day in the San Mateo citywide garage sale & never even friggin noticed!
On 280 near woodside rd, no less....SEVERAL MILES from a phone!

Even after hiking miles down the hill to find a payphone, I realized I didnt have any $ on me for a phone call. I tried to call my buddy collect but he had a block on collect calls!
(what the hell? he must have a relative in jail?)
I had to "bum" some change from a reluctant/dubious bystander to make a call.
By the time I got a hold of my friend & he turned up with a gas can AND took me to my car to fill it up....AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!

It was well after midnite by the time I got home to find a note on my door, from Mig, telling me to "get your ass over to Martin's you punkass!".
I was really tired & annoyed at this point, but that note actually made me laugh my ass off, shedding a little humor on an otherwise shitty evening!
(I love ya mig! You're a good egg!)
Anyway, sorry I missed the fun.
end of pathetic story
