Today I met with my web dude, Sean so we could head over to Carey Sound to discuss them doing sound for our joint music event coming up October 19 for Converge South. I was getting into my car and got covered by a spider web. I hate that feeling! I said, “I know there’s a spider on me. Do you see one in my hair?”

He said, “You’re fine.” And laughed at me.

I was driving up Market Street and I looked over and there is a HUGE wolf spider RUNNING up his sleeve so I screamed and pointed. (I am hysterically laughing as I write this because it was so funny!)

“IT’S ON YOU!”

At which point, (and Sean threatened me not to say this), he SCREAMED, “WHERE?”

I was barely keeping in my lane, trying to pull over, cars were honking, while he frantically swiped around trying to figure out where the spider was.

‘WHERE IS IT?!?!”

ON YOUR SLEEVE!

At which point he flicks it AT ME. I duck and somehow manage to pull over to the side of the road without slamming into any of the cars around me. Now we are both screaming. Cars are still honking at us - it’s CHAOS.

Where is it?

Over there!

Where?

In the cup holder!

Get it out of here! Don’t kill it!

So Sean picks up a small piece of paper and says, “I’m going to litter now. So I don’t have to kill the spider!”

So if you saw a renegade SUV weaving like a maniac and dropping a small piece of paper in the road around lunchtime on Market St. today, I am so sorry.

I HATE SPIDERS.
