Best of 2010: Uhm...the most...interesting???

This moment just had to be included. But I wouldn't call it a "best" per se. But you definitely need to see this for yourselves!

So, Konstantin, Dow, Deniro, Luddy, and I head down to Orangeburg, SC for the first of a 3-night mini-tour opening for Wale. Tonight's show is at the Orangeburg Civic Center. I remember thinking, Orangeburg HAS a civic center???? Impressive!! Well, uh.....I spoke too soon....

After driving through 3 different trailer parks, we arrive at the Orangeburg Civic Center. Owned by the "Power House of Deliverance" Church. Here's the info if you'd like to rent it! hahahaha...

It's located right across the street (and by street, I mean dirt road) from this lovely farm....

At this address!

And it's got lovely wallpaper in the main lobby.... (Note the discolored nasty ceiling tiles)

Here's just a sampling of all the alcohol the promoters bought that night...

Oh and, upstairs in the VIP area....there are 2, yes 2 stripper poles. That's right, in the building owned by the Power House of Deliverance Church!

Our lovely security guards...

The wonderful couches in the VIP area....

And now we get to the good part! So, apparently the little church man with his photo on the sign above, he didn't want to pay for TWO one-day liquor licenses (since shows go past 12 midnight), so he only bought one for after midnight (because "the police never come before then!) So, of course, at 9pm, the police come, and force everyone to stand outside in the cold....

While they confiscate ALL the alcohol...

And load it into one of their PERSONAL pickup trucks....

So, the night got started so late that Dow and Deniro didn't get to perform. What makes it even better is....on the way back from this lovely adventure...we ran out of gas! So, here we are, no heat, freezing cold, on the side of I-85 waiting for an HOUR for AAA to come and rescue us. And this, folks, was my most interesting moment of 2010!!!
