Today, I have a NYE party at a local retirement community Brightview Avondel where I've been performing monthly since the place opened 4 years ago. The job is from 2 till 4 p.m., which suits everyone just fine.

My big job tonight was cancelled about three weeks ago, the organization said they just couldn't sell enough tickets to make it work. Big loss, financially, for me, but I called some friends, invited them over and for the first time in 15 hears I get to stay at home with my wife and a few friends. I'm kinda looking forward to it.

I have a double New Years Day, and the jobs are just an hour apart, but fortunately, the venues are just 15 minutes apart, which give me ample time to tear down and set up at the second location.

Cheers,

Gary
