sheesh. late last week, I got an email from a board member of the FCB. "we need to have our stuff out of the music library at the Hawk by the end of the month (for Reasons). We have storage space for the music, but not for the copier. Can you help?" yeah, I can find a temporary space for the copier somewhere in the house. Just don't ask me to haul it to rehearsals more than once.
So we made a plan to meet at the Hawk at noon on Friday (zie has keys to the music library, I do not). Zie called the Hawk three times to make sure it would be OK that we access the music library at noon on Friday. We get there "oh, it's still camp week. We really don't want you disrupting camp", but they let us sneak in anyway. I loaded the copier and the huge shipping crate we'd put it into when it was being stored near HS kids into my car, and headed home. Ye ghods and little fishies! it took almost two freaking hours to get home! Detour after traffic jam after detour. gaah. (and if I'd turned left at the first corner, I'd have been home in less than an hour. but by the time I figured that out, I was committed to the "long" way.) Fortunately, the Camry is a hybrid, and the engine doesn't run when the car is standing still or moving slowly, so I still got 50mpg on the trip.
(Reasons being the Hawk is being unreasonable. "You can't rent the music library space unless you rehearse and perform here." which is OK. This part "But you can't rehearse on Monday nights, and we won't let you charge less than $XX per ticket for performances." is not. That's just not gonna work.)
(edit for grammar. foo.)
