The Only Saving Grace

Wednesday was the worst kind of personal Internet disaster as there was no warning and no way to notify Cat.  It happened again yesterday and the only saving grace was that Cat would have known from the day before why I wasn't there.

Just to be really mean and evil, the Internet demons brought it back up again on Wednesday just a few minutes after my scheduled gig was to end.  That's when the little bastards want to tell you, yah, we could have brought it back in time, we just didn't want to do it.

On Thursday night, they wanted to destroy my scheduled gig at Cat's Art MusikCircus or anything else I might have tried to play later as it was down until around midnight.  Evil little demons, they are.

There's no whine in this as it's business.  It's love when it comes to not wanting to let Cat down but arranging gigs overall is business.  Fortunately, Cat has been in that business for years now so she knows how it goes.

How you know this is not whining is when I tell you what came from it.  Armand said he would like a try a night other than Wednesday as possibly he thinks that night is jinxed now!  Of course we can move it so that will be arranged today.  There was also a message from Cat about someone else who wants to talk about scheduling yet another gig.  There are many things one might expect from the Internet crashing but getting more gigs is not among them.  And yet that's what happened.

There is one more saving grace in that I've had more time to work out "Is It Cool Enough for Cat" and, after working with it for some while yesterday, Yevette came back to say, "I hope you recorded that."

I hadn't recorded anything but that was a good sign that maybe it's time to bring the tune to a show.

On Wednesday, the cable guy said the outside work would be completed in 24-48 hours.  That span will be finished just in time for the shows with Joaquin Gustav and Voodoo Shilton later.
