When it rains it...Austin Celtic Fest, Day 2

[lillian13]

The day started off cool and very foggy. Business was very, very slow, but it was for the first couple of hours on Saturday. However, at just about the time folks started buying on Saturday, it started to rain. And then my tent started to leak.

It never let up, and about 5, the show coordinator came over and let everyone know that they could close and pack up, but we couldn't move out until the last band finished--and since the other stage where they normally did the last two shows on Sunday had no roof, they moved the last two shows to "our" stage--so we couldn't load out until 8.

However, the Nephew showed up with the on-again, off-again girlfriend, and by the time I could bring in the car, we had everything just about ready to go and we were out of there in 30 minutes.

I came home to find that some douchebag had parked in my reserved parking space. I left a rather large, emphatic note to that effect on the windshield.  :-(

Tomorrow:

Wash and dry ALL table covers.
Do other laundry.
Set tent out (if it's sunny) to dry.
Get my mammogram (yay).
Take my deposit to the bank (YAY).
Put show stuff in the storage unit.
Clean the damn apartment (riiight).

I'm so embarrassed about parroting the forecast to you Saturday night. Clearly "showers in the late afternoon" meant IT WILL POUR DOWN ON YOU STARTING AT NOON!

The GF is back? eww. Thought he was done with her?

Have a fun mammogram! Okay, how about good on you for getting it today?

Hee! Not much anyone could have done. I just kept a good attitude and got through it. The tent is as dry as it's gonna get, and all the covers are clean. I'm going to apply some waterproofing (yes, barn door, horse), since there is a slight chance of rain this weekend for the Brentwood show.
