The most import thing to happen in the history of today.... or not

There I was minding my own business.

Driving home after a long (medium) day of work and a long (short) run at the park.

Listening to the NPR All Songs Considered podcast and vowing to remember the name of the band they were featuring (forgot).

I looked in my rearview mirror and saw this:

 

Startled, I slowed down. In every window of the tour bus were appliqués of cats appearing to peak out the windows... like passengers.

That's when I saw another car up ahead. All purple with "ACRO-CATS!" and "CIRCUSCATS.COM" covering the rear of the car. On top of this mid-size vehicle was a giant cat statue. I sped up to pass and saw this amazing woman driving the car wearing tiny little cat ears.

That's when I realized that no matter how much success I think I have, I do not have:

1. A cat tour bus

2. A job where I can wear cat ears like a boss.

 

The Acro Cats and their band are in Denver until August 10th (by way of Chicago). If you love me, you will take me as my beau is having none of it.

Reenactment of the call I made after passing this on the highway:

Me: OMG ARE YOU HOME??
WC: Ummm. what? Yeah. Is everything okay?
Me: OMG I WAS DRIVING AND THIS CAR IS PURPLE AND HAS A GIANT CAT ON IT AND THEN THERE'S A TOUR BUS AND GOOGLE CIRCUSCATS.COM AND TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE?!!!
WC: Who is this.....
Me: DON'T FUCK WITH ME. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO HAPPEN IN THE HISTORY OF TODAY....

It's all downhill from here.
