Entertainment is found in unexpected places

Went out to the dreaded Philly (technically only alongside it rather than actually in it) to see a Flogging Molly / Dropkick Murphy's show. Great show, lots of fun; I really should go to more concerts like that, even if I am now an old man all growns up with work and shit like that to think about. I had a lot of fun, but that is not my purpose in writing here. No, I must share the experience of the "wait, what?" moment we shared with one of the security guys.

So we found the venue and the handy parking place right next to it and after a tiny bit of confusion we parked and generally loitered by our car. A nice security guy came up and told us that we needed to be out of the parking lot by 7. It was 6:55. We looked at him like he had three heads and when he noticed he assumed a rather confused look. We informed him we'd just shown up to go see the concert next door and that leaving by 7 sorta defeated the purpose of parking here, which confused him further until he said, "Oh shit, wait, lemme rephrase that." See we were supposed to walk out of the parking lot and into the venue by 7, not drive off the lot. Minor confusion there, but we all shared a good laugh after figuring out just how badly we were misunderstanding each other.

It was worth it just to see the realization spread across everyone's faces as we all grinned at how dumb we felt.
