Rolling Stones live in Missoula

So the Rolling Stones played a show in Missoula, MT this past week. And me knowing a good party when I hear it, decided to head up to the big city and check out what was going on. I didn't have any tickets or really any real desire to see a group of touring senior citizens play guitar for 100 dollars. But I figured there would be plenty of people like me, just looking for a good time. I met up with the Executive Chef from my work and we went bar-hopping for most of the night. We walked past the stadium where the concert was going on and hung out outside for a while wishing we were inside. That got old pretty quick though, so we went back to the bars. The night was going well. I was plenty drunk. There was one problem though, all the hotels in town were booked up because of the concert. This didn't end up being to much of a problem though, since I ended up blacking out. I woke up in my car which was parked downtown at 6a.m. I had no idea what happened or how I got there, but I wasn't in jail and I still had my wallet, so it must not have been that bad. So I figured, its time to go, and drove the miserable drive back to Darby. I won't say I was exactly sober, but who is in Montana? Drinking and driving is pretty much expected. There are no cops, so its pretty much at your own risk. People have asked me before if it is true that Montana has no speed limit. Well, no. That is not true. The speed limit on all the highways is 75, but there are barely any police. So if you wanted to, yeah, you could drive 100mph or faster. I would not advise it however, due to the poor road quality in Montana.
