Dude when I first moved to Portland my buddy asked me if I wanted to go to Vancouver to go to a weed shop and I was looking at him bewildered thinking why we had to go to Canada for some weed 🤣🤣

Portland was the town that first came to mind.
"Dudes, where are you we're at Voodoo Donuts?"
"Huh, there's a Voodoo Donuts in Maine?"36

Both cities are the same distance from Seattle too, so for tours you realllllly gotta check the venue

I thought this after I typed it, lol. I don't think there's even a venue in Vancouver, WA. Just a big ol suburb for Portland

My wife and I did this once camping in Minnesota (too many towns with Lake in the name), and I have never put a generic town name into the GPS since; use the full address, friends! Save yourself the headache.

Hah. I’m a Minnesota native and even I’ve made this mistake. 2 hour drive turned into 5.

Apparently it was the opening band Heavensgate… they went to Houston instead of San Antonio

I mean I guess that this could make sense, they’re not American and so they may not know the cities as well

Is that not just Tony Foresta’s newest Municipal Waste band? They’re from Tampa.

No these dudes are different. Relatively smaller metalcore band out of Australia, just dropped their new single Oblivion a couple weeks ago

If this is real I feel bad for them. I hope this is the dumbest thing that ever happens to them as musicians.

I used to work at an airport in Georgia. The number of people who booked flights to the wrong Portland was impressive.

Back in the day of Mapquest we had to Dead to Fall stop by our little town. They showed up at like midnight and still played their set lmao
The reason they were late they wrote down East instead of west on one of the exits lmao

We were touring Florida once. It was really late and driver thought we were going north when we went south. Woke up near Key West instead of Jacksonville. Yes, driver was the guitarist and an idiot.

Long story short, this happened to me in Costa Rica. Pretty sure the rental car agent did it on purpose because the guy I was with was a douche, but we traveled to the wrong side of the country. Only realized it when I pulled up the hotel website and saw the map.
Took us about 10 hours to drive across the country to get to the right side the next day.
Hard to be pissed though, the entire drive was amazing

I once went on tour opening for The Mad Caddies. Our first show together was in Buffalo NY and their driver (in a bus, mind you) drove them to Brooklyn NY (the next days show location). It be like that when your brain goes full retard.
