Nazis, Crashing Cars, TVs on Radios, and Some Kids from the Cold War

So, this was a pretty eventful day on my trip to Columbia, MO.

11:00 - Lunch at this cool mongolian grill called HuHot. It's pretty sweet.

12:15 - Go to watch a Nazi march.


12:45 - First Nazi sighting. It's pretty scary.

1:00 - Riot almost ensues, so it's now really scary. It's okay, Riot Police got it under control.

2:00 - Finally sit down to watch a recording of the Hog game...hallelujah, we're going to the championship.

5:00 - Go check out this cool bar/coffeeshop--Columbia's version of The Common Grounds.

6:00 - Dinner at this great cajun restaurant called Jazz, complete with seating in the VIP room and a jazz band.

8:30 - Car wreck. I was in Ubben's car, and George rear-ended us. It was a little bit crazy. Everything will be okay once we figure out exactly how we'll get home tomorrow (the suburban has been decommissioned).

9:30 - Finally get the Suburban towed. We're finally off to the show (an hour and a half behind schedule).

10:30 - TV on the Radio takes the stage and rocks the house.

12:00 - We high-tail it over to a different club to see if we can catch Cold War Kids.

12:05 - We get to see the last few songs of Cold War Kids from outside the door. It was cool (and free).

Well, that was eventful. I ate at two great restaurants, was involved in a car accident, saw a jazz band, sort of saw Cold War Kids, and watched TV on the Radio play a killer show. To top it all off, we witnessed a freakin' crazy Nazi protest (complete with people protesting the Nazis). Unbelievable. I'm spent.

**EDIT: So, we figured out how to get home. We're renting a mini-van from Enterprise.
