Please explain

Monday night was the first of NINE Garth brooks concerts at the Sprint Center. NINE, holy crap. My route to both theaters I work at downtown goes past the Sprint Center on 13th St. My routes back vary slightly, due to the one-way-in-the-wrong-way nature of downtown streets. As I left the Lyric Monday night, I intended to go east across 10th St, south on Main, west on Truman (south of the highway) and go south on Oak as it turns into Gilham and eventually Rockhill, taking me home. My plan was foiled by the post- Brooks traffic bullshit, which seems to mainly mean cops blocking off streets in an apparent effort to make traffic smoother, but which actually causes people to have to go around making it all worse. I don't get it.

The police blocked off Main past 12th, so I had to turn east on 12th St, well before my intended destination. That's when I saw them. The limos. It seemed that every limo in a 10 mile radius had been drawn to the Sprint center, and had lined up along the surrounding blocks. I saw literally, at least 25 limos of all shapes and sizes. This is the part I don't get. I'm fairly certain that Garth Brooks already has a ride, and if he didn't that he could only physically ride in one limo at a time. Who are all those limos for? And why must they block the streets so?

Downtown Moment.

I saw a neat Downtown Moment yesterday on my way to the opera. I passed 3 guys in suits who had removed their jackets, and were playing frisbee in a parking lot. This Downtown Moment has been brought to you by the letter F, and the number 3.
