Well. I was all set to go but my wife definitely had misgivings re: COVID variants and I myself had some worry. I bought my ticket online Saturday late and checked the player schedule. I was dismayed to see that Intuitive Compass had dropped their Sunday gig and would only be playing on Saturday. Still my teacher planned to be there with some of his senior students to play at the Sunday morning showcase of students so I still figured I would go. Unfortunately a new medication I'm on has had an unpleasant side effect and trying to spot a bathroom every few miles during a 2 hour journey seemed risky and probably not much fun. I headed out to risk it, but less than a few miles into the journey turned back. My plan next year is to take a few days off from work, head up the day before the festival starts, book a hotel room, and have a place to retreat to as needed. I'll find out this Friday when I have my accordion lesson what my teacher thought of the event this year.
