Taxi!
Saturday night my friend Kaiser and I were walking out of Power Plant Live around 1:15 a.m. looking for a taxi.
We saw about a dozen cabs lined up waiting, and I was about to get into the first one when Kaiser said:
"Take the second cab! Take the second cab!"
I'm not sure why he wanted to take the second cab. Maybe it was just to see what the first cab driver would do.
So we got into the second cab. And oh man, that first cabbie was mad. He jumped out of the car, waved his hand at us and hollered something I couldn't make out.
It was hilarious. Dude was hopping mad. Our cabbie, meanwhile, had dub reggae tunes turned up to ear piercing levels. So we sunk down in our seats as we passed the first cab in line and soaked in the music until we were out of sight.
