The weekend got off to a bad start Friday evening: I helped colgaffneyis set up for a show in Hudson, Wisconsin (just over the St. Croix River from Minnesota). Only 4 members showed up. All of us were over 50. Apparently most of the members think you have to be eligible for AARP to do the hard physical labor of setting up camp.

This knocked me out. I could not face getting up early for the show the next day. So I skipped the opportunity of walking around in funny clothes for the public. I came out at the end of the day to help tear down the camp.

The good news is that colgaffneyis show this coming weeked was cancelled. It would have been the same four of us stuck with setup. The difference is that we would have been 300 miles from home rather than 30.

I have done my last camp setup for this season. I am thinking I should skip the first couple 2010 shows to see if younger members are seriously committed to the organization. I have plenty of other things to do with my life.
