Macaroni vs Manchester

So I ate at the Macaroni Grill here in Austin two days ago for lunch.

About 6 hours later, the Macaroni grill fought back... I'm pretty sure it was food poisoning. The pain ranged from "what the hell is that feeling", to "OK I gotta get this out of my body", all the way to "and now everything is going black".

The bad part is that I had bought 2 tickets to see Manchester Orchestra at La Zona Rosa. I talked my friend Carol into going with me, so she was at a bar next door waiting for me to show up while I was trying to de-Macaroni my body. I mustered the strength to drive there, found a parking spot, payed the fucking $7 parking, and meet up with Carol who informs me that Manchester Orchestra has been playing for about 30 minutes. At this point, I'm too delirious to give a shit about details... I'm on a mission from God.

Anyway, I caught 2 songs, which was well worth the agony of standing up and trying not to pass out, because they were two of their best songs: "I can barely breathe" and "Where have you been". Totally worth it.

Oh, and in case you ever eat at Macaroni Grill, don't get the Create Your Own Primo Pasta with shrimp, bowtie pasta, garlic sauce, mushrooms, and sauteed tomatoes... that combination is deadly!
