Long-distance SCers: What do you do while driving to a club?

Drives of 1 or 2 hours I listen to music CDs. I need to get a car stereo with RCA jacks so I can plug in my iPod. I get most new music nowadays as MP3s, and about the only reason I burn audio CDs anymore is for my car player.

On longer road trips, I favor books on CD. Nothing too heavy. Usually non-fiction. For some reason, I find fiction far more enjoyable when I read it myself. I like popular history, war stories, memoirs, that sort of thing. Sometimes, the book might be good but the reader will be so annoying, I have to eject it and try another book.

I remember trips when I was a kid, hearing all the local radio stations along the way. Those days are gone. Local radio is the same everywhere: dull.

None of this really gets me ready for the strip club experience, unless it's by taking my mind off it and recharging my psyche, whatever. The one exception is a good comedy CD, which can start me smiling and maybe even supply a joke I can share with a stripper.
