the best laid plans of mice and 14/48

We knew there was a parade tonight. We also knew that the Nine Inch Nails were playing at Key Arena tonight. We knew; no problem. But how could we plan for the fact that the parade would start atrociously late and close off acres and acres of the usual routes to get here way past the time our audience (and NIN's audience, for that matter) would be attempting to get here. Like poor little salmon swimming upstream to spawn and die; except where "spawn & die" is taken to mean "see 14/48."

Have we ever started 20 minutes late? CrAzY mAn!
