Well, that darn Subaru. How dare it break down after only 188000 miles? *sheesh*

Did you find rides for on the epoples and equipment?

Yes, managed to procure rides to both practice last night and the event today.

We did three sets on the hour starting at 1PM. Occasional gusts of wind tended to skew my leadsheets into uninterpretable positions even with clips on them and forcing me to play one handed using the other hand to hold the music in place. A gust even launched the second set’s sheets to various parts of the property before I got them clipped down, and in the process of grabbing at them as they passed by I somehow managed to hit an unknown combination of keys, buttons, and sliders that caused my keyboard to go into a Hillary like freezeup that required a reboot (but no secret service dudes to hoist it into a van..)

Had hotdogs and beans, coffee, cider, doughnuts (and a bottle of water.. ;-) Fairly decent turnout, but now I must sit a spell..

And the Subaru still awaits its struts. Ebay says they are shipped. UPS says they don’t have them, but a label was created yesterday for whatever that is worth.
