Oh man... So I was supposed to pick my sister up at the airport at 8:00, take my buddy out for his 21st b-day, sleep, get up at 5:00AM and drive to LA for the show. My sister didn't get in till 2:30AM (looong story), I feel asleep and left her waiting for 45 minutes (I'm an ass) and didn't get home from all that till 4:00AM or so... Needless to say, we didn't leave on time since I was driving. We left at noon and arrived in OC at about 7:00PM. Then we realized the show wasn't in Santa Ana like it said on the website, but actually in North Hills. Back in the car. Show starts at 10:00 - we are killing our sleeping time and I am totally beat! So - we drive back north to North Hills (40 or so miles of glorious traffic ) and get there at 8:30 or so. Get a hotel room, and my buddies go to the show - they will call me when the ones I came to see come on. They call - I should be there by 5:00AM but they are going to stay for the other DJs. I wake up at 5:00 pretty well rested and ready to go. Buddies pile into the room - Police shut the show down about 15 seconds into the first track because they didn't have a permit... So I go ahead and sleep till checkout time, have some food and bust ass back home with a carload of snoring partygoers. Oh well - at least I brought some CDs... Max turned 110K on the way home. Bought it 1.5 yrs ago with 75K. Bummer...

I will say that my Maxima totally impressed me on the way home. 85-95mph UP the Grapevine with 4 people and luggage in nasty heat. I am thinking maybe this heat soak problem could be a clogged catalytic converter? Acts like it sometimes... If this car had the power it does in the morning all the time - it would be a lot more fun.

Yay. Sorry I missed everyone. The August trip will be better planned, but I may not drive this time.
