And a Gig Burns Down

For the second week in a row, the gig at the Dirty Dancing Warehouse caved at the last minute.  Two hours before the show the Internet went down.  At first there's some hope, just as when it happens to you, that maybe it comes back soon.  But after a while it was clear that it wasn't coming back and the cable company was called into it.

I don't know if Armand would ever invite me back after that but I'll definitely talk to him to tell him what happened and at least apologize.  Missing a gig is not an 'oh well' kind of thing with me and I doubt I've missed a dozen gigs since I started in Second Life ... and now two in two weeks.  Arrgghhh.

So that sucked pretty hard as I was looking forward to playing and I have a tune that might be ready to try in front of Cat.

The Internet link is not entirely fixed and may be erratic for the next 24-48 hours.  Cat and I decided to go ahead with the show tomorrow night regardless and it will be a cool thing as Sonya Jevette is playing the first set.  Looks like Thursday is Texas Night at the Circus.


The entire day was not fraught with suckage, however.  I went out to VA earlier for an eye appointment.  I was expecting to hear I need cataract surgery as one eye was done years ago.  It turned out I only need a new prescription.  Finding I don't need surgery was outstandingly cool but there was more as I got two prescriptions for glasses filled for thirty bucks total!

Please, please don't tell those monkeys at Fox News about the VA.  If this damn socialism gets out of hand, people might ... get healthy.  They will want that stopped.
