so, if a tree falls

in the forest, and there’s no one there to hear it, it’ll be kinda like the show i just played.

it was the strangest thing. Relay for Life is an overnight walkathon that raises money for cancer care. the wife used to be co-chair for the local one. granted, that was before the economy took the taildive. but, there used to be tents all over. packs of kids who had found an excuse to stay out all night in the spring running around like banshees. vendors filled the outside of the walking track. it was just abuzz with people.

not tonight. i think there were less than 12 walkers when we played. the field that used to be filled with cars and tents had maybe six tents in it. it was like, i dunno, going to a florida marlins game.

so we set up and played. to an empty stadium. lol. and we played fine. its just that no one was there. and at least in this instance, i’m sure it wasn’t because of us! no one comes to, or takes a pass on a walkathon because of the bands.

anyway, i’m off to down a couple of cold ones and get some sleep. tomorrow is another day.

Oh Duh – just settled in to check scores and saw the Phils took the series opener from the Dead Sox. Yay.
