OK. I know this is a weird post, but let me just clarify….IT WAS A WIERD FUCKING EXPERIENCE. So Olie, my friend Mailah, and I all thought it would be a GREAT idea to wait in line at 6:40 in the morning to get tickets to the famous Shakespeare in the Park show later that evening. Because I know you guys are just as crazy as us, I am giving you tips on what to bring and do while you wait in line because we were NOT prepared AT ALL (metaphor for our life?).

This is how our morning went: Went to bed at 12:30 after watching an Australian horror film. Woke up at 4:40. Left apartment at 5:22. Packed a Z bar and a water bottle. Should be enough for a six hour wait, right? Put on sunscreen, tank top, shorts, and a hat because the weather app promised hot, humid weather. Walked to the subway. It was delayed. Bought some subway sandwiches just in case we got hungry later. Got on subway. Got off subway. Went to Starbucks, got oatmeal and coffee. Got to the line at 6:40. Already super long, filled with people who were 10,000 times more prepared than we were with laptops, chairs, blankets, picnics, dogs, etc. 

Because we brought nothing to do and nothing to sit in, we bitched for 6 hours straight while sitting on our starbucks bags in the middle of the grass while tiny red spiders crawled all over us, and the wind and shade (thanks weather app) made us so cold that we dreamed of being in little marshmallow floats in a mug of hot chocolate or fantasizing about living in the center of a warm cinnamon bun or curling up in a piece of mac and cheese. The best comment of the day was when Olie saw a horse walk bye and said, “I wish that horse was a costume, so I could wear the costume and be warm.” BRING blankets, pillows, a picnic, a book, and a laptop with a movie on it. I’m warning you. Also a boyfriend and a puppy wouldn’t hurt…

Also, this place delivers to the line and they had a really good looking avocado, sprout, hummus, sun dried tomato sandwich that looked good and a ton of salads and shit.

So there you go. Bitched and hallucinated for a straight six hours straight. I think I am forever scarred for life. Did I mention, we ate our sandwiches for breakfast? Anyways, after probably the worst (And most hilarious) six hours of my life, we finally got tickets. Also, our mom came to the rescue at the last 30 mins with hot Starbucks! And one of the guys in line thought she was cutting and flipped a shit (these people were SO butt hurt that they had to wait in line #LIKECHILL #bye)

Anyways, saw the play later that day and left at intermission because we were so tired from waking up early and couldn’t keep our eyes open so…. #Success? #YES #ItsAllAboutTheJourney #NotTheDestination #InspirationFrom #BitchingFor6HoursStraight #WouldIGoAgain? #NOPE #ButTheExperienceWasWorthIt #Kinda
