A couple weeks ago I caught a glimpse of a commercial promoting a monster truck rally called Monster Jam. I was amazed and asked if I could go. Dad kind of laughed it off, but later that week Casey got word that our friend Nick and my friends George and Angus were going, so we looked into it and next thing you know, we are sitting in a suite at Allstate Arena watching huge trucks jumping through the air and crushing mid-'80s era sedans.
Speaking of the '80s, one of the intermission distractions was a battle between two super slow moving "transformers" (seen above) that utilized fire and "rockets" to try and destroy each other. The fight was accompanied by some great zynth-pop instrumentals. Dad was cracking up.
Thanks to Nick and Mike for letting us join in on the fun and to Casey for persuading my elitest Dad to soak-up some rural culture right here in the big city.
