saw the band Daikaiju over the weekend. they were not playing anywhere near me but they were playing in the same city where the girl lives.
she works nights. usually 4 PM to midnite.
thinking about it. is it worth a five hour drive, ten hours round trip for an overnight to see a gig that the girl won't even be able to go to? is it worth it to get there, say goodbye for a works shift like two hours later, and drive right back the next day?
of course it was. time with her is always better than time not with her.
band played. they were great. she was going to meet me at the bar if she was out in time. they were finished playing at 1:15 AM or so. she was not out in time. i drove there and waited for her. her staff left, she didn't emerge until nearly 3 AM.
one of the hardest nights of work she's had there this year. easily the hardest one she's had since we got together. and i was able to pick her up and bring her home, make her dinner, rub her back and feet and make her feel better. all because i was there on a whim.
sometimes life puts you where you're supposed to be.
