Another thing that happened during the show the other night is I rode to the station to go in, then I saw a nice splatter vinyl of the new album on the merch table. I wanted it but i didn't have my pannier bags on the bike at the station.

I eventually figured out I could use the shirt I got as a tote bag. Stick the vinyl in and tie up the bottom so I could put my arm through the sleeves to ride.

whilst this was a great bit of ingenuity, the real lesson is to always have a pannier bag on your bike, even when you think you don't need them
