so three weeks ago, an ensemble i was commissioned to write a piece for changed the date of the performance. SO, now i've got a premiere of a brand-new piece on friday night, 22 april, up here in SF. now, i've never been known to bow to social pressures, but professional and social decorum in such circles would suggest that it is considered highly disrespectful to the performers to miss your own premiere.

now, i could always make it down to WCC by saturday evening, but i feel like i would have missed out on a lot.

so, i have to ask myself: WWBD? (what would Brad do?)

Please, guide me towards to light... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)

if you really have to ask yourself that question you're better off hanging with the black suits in SF and zipp on your champagne ...

The Stanford DPS would want you to miss the WCC (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Sleep all day friday, get up, go to the premiere, then drive down. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Traffic down 101 is nonexistent late at night.. you could probably make the drive in 3 hours.

Nathan, you've given me a lot of good advice on here in the last couple of years, and I was looking forward to meeting you at the WCC. I'm driving 1700 frickin miles for this! You can make the 3 hour trip! I'll buy you a beer or two if you show up. Go to your artsy thing, then haul ass to the WCC! Do it! Come on, do it!

It's not exactly 3 hour drive from SF. Its' about 360 miles South.

In the dead of night, with no traffic it could be 5 hours. Hauling ass, a little shorter, but still do-able (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

1700 miles (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) You rock Mike!

You might be able to find somebody to come along as a guest and share the driving duties that otherwise wouldn't be able to make it.
