Emily Kraus and her boyfriend were on their way to Hershey, Pennsylvania, to see Dave Matthews perform, and were running late as it was.
That's why they almost didn't stop for a hitchhiker by the side of the road... who turned out to be Dave Matthews himself.
The singer had gone for a bike ride and suffered a flat tire, stranding him in the middle of nowhere.
"I did not have a cell phone on the bicycle. So I thought, 'Shit'," Matthews would later tell the audience at Hersheypark Stadium.
Happily for Kraus, she had just added a bike rack to her car, and so was able to accommodate the eco-friendly musician.
This happened back in mid-July, but it's a good story no matter how much time has passed. I saw it here.
