travel a for 4 or 5 hours to Alcabisco at tiny club called Clinic.
it would have been nice to have a day off, but we have agreed to play this small gig.  lots of problems as soon as we arrive.  firstly, and most notably, the power converter does not have the correct plugs for me to be able to attach my equipment…this is a biggy…there are also sound wiring problems…the PA is phasing..so the first 3 hours or so of soundcheck was spent by the soundguy trying to figure out these problems and potential disaster.  we break for dinner, and come back still issues. not looking like the show will happen. we are wiped out…very tired.
finally everything is resolved.  we eventually play at 1:30am
to 35 people. — fun gig.  some really great moments…Rant is our best version yet…can you believe it? but, we are exhausted.  travel is 2 hours back.  mostly sleep.

dinner (steak,rice, potatoes,soup,red wine)
