road trip playlist

in may of 2006 i took a road trip to new orleans with 4 other friends. we went to see gomez at tipitina's on cinco de mayo. there was a lot of partying crammed into the 1.5 days that we were there. the drive home was a little miserable, to say the least. we were listening to my ipod through one of those little radio transmitter thingies and i came up with a fun idea. i created an "on the go" playlist and handed the ipod off to let everyone pick 3 songs. then we listened to it. it was really interesting to see what songs everyone picked. it was pretty random! of course, when we got home, i burned the playlist onto cds for everyone and made custom "album" covers too. the mix was called the t&c mix after our rental car which was a chrysler town and country mini van. the album covers will make no sense to anyone else but that's okay.
