I was stuck on I-5 last night

As you may have heard, I-5 was completely closed for about an hour and a half last night — police had all lanes blocked.

At one point, someone decided to slowly drive up the shoulder to either get to the front or try to leave entirely… honestly, not sure what the plan was.

Then I noticed a guy a few cars ahead assembling a sousaphone tuba (thank you for that correction). He started playing while walking toward the shoulder driver, dancing around to diffuse the tension.

A few minutes later, someone pulled out an accordion.

Then a trumpet appeared.

Soon we had a full-on band with people singing and dancing in the middle of a freeway 😂 soon the police cleared out and we were able to drive home. Not exactly how any of us wanted to spend our evening, but it made things a little more fun. Hope everyone made it back safe last night.
