I got pretty lucky tonight. I went to Slammers with Ben to see Ambedexrus - they were okay tonight. The drummer was a bit off tonight. At the show, I found out that our old drummer was in another band , and they were playing at the Sports Bar, behind the Trophy Club. So I decided to check them out real quick before going home.
Sometimes the best made plans don't go quite like we want them to, because I apparently was doing 55MPH in a 40 zone, and I was pulled in the parking lot of the bar. I couldn't find my registration (not good), and the Sheriffs Office called in the Highway Partol for a field sobriety test. Follow the pen, read the alphabet, then the heel-to-toe walk while counting out. I was honest with the guy, and I wasn't drunk, so naturally I passed.
Actually, I was very lucky, because I didn't even get a ticket - just a warning. The most embarassing part was being stopped at The Trophy Club by 4 cops with their lights blazing, because I am not allowed there for the time being, as per a promise I made. But everything worked out OK. So, I would like to thank the florence County Sheriff's Dept. and the SC Highway Patrol for doing their jobs, for being considerate, and for not arresting me!

It wasn't too big a deal - I just told them, "I'm Mike Reino, I'm kinda important." Just another case of me talkin my way out of ,or into anything. ;)
Miss ya, Princess.
hey...it's DUI in SC. get your story straight dammit!
Cruising the parking lot are you
Nope, they turned on the blues when I pulled in. If I wasn't there, I likely would not have been stopped. I've been good.
Oddly Mike, from the profiling I know about, speeding tends to contradict the DUI... SCHP probably wasn't amused by the call, though its impact on the traffic at The Trophy Club, with a convenient excuse is another matter.
I'm sure by my stopping there, the deputy thought he had an easy one. One thing I have to point out - this was outside the club, and nothing happens outside the Trophy Club. They're open til 400 on Friday night, or so I've heard.
I was off???
