I don’t understand why so many people are practically acting like road laws don’t exist. Anyone from Missouri would know that OP is fucking obviously referring to highways, where people constantly go 15-25 over and sit in the left lane until they’re within 7 feet of their exit.

I hate how many people act like legal speed limits are just guidelines. If the sign says 70MPH, you are not legally allowed to drive faster than 70MPH. Shut the fuck up about “the flow of traffic” and stop being a part of the problem. If everyone else is going 10 over, and I’m in the far right lane going the legal limit, then I’m the one abiding by the law, while everyone else is breaking it, not the other way around.

Stop fucking driving as fast as you can. You’re saving a few minutes at the very best, and endangering those around you. The maniacal driving I see every day makes me want to vacate the country. Speed limits are LIMITS, not fucking guidelines.

We probably could have just asked Rail Haven he stayed there I know this because that sign has been flashing it for like the last 15 years while I'm on my way to work pissed off because why is this light at St. Louis so long...

First Springfield concert was Randy Houser and Jamey Johnson at I believe the shrine. It’s been about 13 years ago so I’m not 100% of the location. They each did about a 30 minute set and then spent about an hour and a half playing together just having a good time. Really fun time. Went with my brother, parents, and my/my brothers bosses (we worked at a radio station). My boss got really hammered and rushed the stage and got kicked out then ran away and hid in someone’s semi for some reason. Took them forever to find him.

I didn't see that one but I definitely do remember a ridiculous amount of teen angst and testosterone flying around clubs during that time period so honestly the mosh pit doesn't surprise me.

The Regency was such a cool Club with the balcony and a really eclectic group of people you never knew what the crowd was going to look like in a given night.

They also had a cup night one night a week I think like $5 all you can drink maybe it was just for girls but you just took a girl and she would fill up the cup over and over I seem to remember those nights getting out of hand a couple times but it was entertaining
