In December Matt had seen an advertisement for a "Myth Tour." He was like, "what?" and checked out the details--which included a stage, Adam and Jamie (the main hosts of Mythbusters), and audience participation. He was like, "way cool, that'd be waaay awesome to go to!"
We looked at the tour dates, saw that the Salt Lake one was the day we were leaving to go to Las Vegas, and were a bit disappointed. Well I decided to look some more, and saw an ARIZONA date on the day of Tough Mudder... in Tucson! 2 hours away from Mesa (where Tough Mudder was taking place).
We knew we'd be cutting it close, but I though, "what the hay, we only do this type of thing... once in 7 years?!" I bought the tickets. They came in the mail. We filed them away, and hoped and prayed we'd be able to arrive in Tucson in one piece to see this MythTour.
.................
Our 12:40 start time for Tough Mudder threw us through a loop. And with the back up at some of the obstacles, we didn't finish till 4:15.
Our dear, dear friends lined up a place for us to shower at one of their friend's home. We got there maybe round 5pm, showered quickly, got most of the dirt off, put on some new clothes, and jumped in our rental car and speed our way down to Tucson.
Of course we needed something to eat, so we did a quick run into a Panda Express, loaded down on some "Chinese food," and continued on our way. We each took turns driving so that each of us could eat, and talked lots about what we did and how crazy Tough Mudder was... and wondered, "Will we EVER do that again?!" Matt thought no, I thought maybe.
We got into Tucson with 2 minutes to spare, and arrived on the University of Arizona campus, then took our seats at 7:35pm. Just 5 minutes late! WOW! We thought we did awesome, considering all the crazy.
Shoot, let me just paint a picture of myself. Cute dress and shoes, hair dirty and matted up in a weird bun, scrapes all over my arms, and face paint still very noticeable. Matt was practically the same (just no dress). OH! While I we were in Panda Express an 8-year-old-ish girl tugged on her dad's arm and whispered, "She's a softball player!"
Okay, took our seats, then enjoyed the fun! Lots of audience participation, secrets of the show, and question/answer time.
It was a 2 hour show. I give it a solid B+, but since Matt basically lives and breathes for Mythbusters I think he loved every part of it! Which it was really fun, don't it me wrong.
And no, we didn't see Adam and Jamie up close and in person after the show. We were ready to go back to Trevor and Michelle's home and SLEEP. Got back on the road around 10pm, and started the 2+ hour drive to their home.
We did well. Wasn't too hard to drive till we got past Phoenix, and all the business lights dropped off... and we started getting tired. But it was only 20 minute drive mores, so we made it. And we slept. And that sleep was awesome!
