It's 10:00pm Saturday night, and I'm just about to drive out of the BMI Event Center parking lot in Versailles, Ohio. ApologetiX had finished their outstanding performance at Immortal Fest II only 45 minutes prior. Within that short window I was able to speak to most of the band members and get signatures on my copy of the setlist. Instead of heading to a nearby hotel, I'm heading home to Columbia, Maryland over 500 miles away. This year I'm not just avoiding a lodging expense, I've got to get back in time for my 3-month old granddaughter's baptism, scheduled for 10:00am the next day. The iPhone GPS app says it will take 7.5 hours, and I've got 12 exactly. Plenty of time, right?
