After a long night of debauchery, we climbed in the the big B van at 6am and started the trek back to Bloomington. Although the drive took us almost 17 hours, it was actually fairly eventful. We made our first stop in Waxahachie and had a delicious breakfast at Waffle House. Upon telling our waitress that it was John’s first time at a Waffle House, she burst into “little know facts” about Waffle House’s rise to fame. We did learn some very interesting things though. Did you know that when the first Waffle House was opened, waffles weren’t even on the menu! CRAZY!
After Waffle House, the trip went straight downhill. We hit sleet and snow in Dallas, which lasted until we got out of Texas. For the first time in our lives we actually experienced ice on the bridges….and we mean serious ice. I think we counted well over 5 cars off the road, and two semi’s turned over. After we got out of the snow, it rained…and it rained…and it rained. We drove into Bloomington around 2:30am, and after a few hours of sleep, we all rose early for work/school.
Even though SXSW is over, we’ll be uploading some more pics and videos asap. Thanks ya’ll
