On July 26th 2009, A friend and I were on the way to the concert, and traveling down the Taconic State Parkway. We hit gridlocked traffic at one point, and were stuck nearly for an hour, as people were getting out of their cars and setting up camp. This was the day that Diane Schuler drove the wrong way down the Taconic and killed 8 people. I don’t feel the need to comment on the situation itself, I’m just reminded of it every time I drive by, and feel some strange connection to the event, because of being there that day.
