Traffic in LA sucks? Who knew?

And you didn't leave enough time to get through the L.A. traffic because...? BTW, do not dis Denny's; they've got pretty decent food.

you've never been to Club Denny's? oh I've partied there many a time. Rave moons over my hammy = a night to remember

You didn't have to go to Denny's. You could have gone to In-n-Out instead. That would have been worth the 6 hour drive.

to perdix. Austin is the greatest party town in Texas. In my opinion. I have always had the best time at Austin parties. btw, I think this is partly a ydi, shouldnt you know how long it takes to get around LA?

You should have called your relatives to see if you could spend the night with them or something. Then the next day go somewhere out to eat. If they wouldn't let you do that then I wouldn't come to their birthday party anyway.

your fault for not planning better

The estimated times you get off Mapquest or Google Maps are invalid for driving in a major city. Depending on the time of day, there's usually quite a bit of traffic and a shortage of parking. Just curious, but was your uncle's party really only two hours long, or were you planning to show up late?

eww

The whole thing is just weird. 1) Couldn't you call someone? 2) You were going to drive 8 hours, party 2 hours, then... drive 8 hours back??? When you drive that far, you plan on staying a little bit longer... just saying...
