the best-laid plans…
well, it figures. just as soon as i pack for my bike trip, i need to pack up for an entirely different voyage.
as it turns out, the band i’m in, the dirty marmaduke flute squad, has been invited by the producers of ‘the search for the next great american band’ to audition for the show. i’ll be on an all-expenses-paid trip to los angeles, california, early next week.
i couldn’t back out of the audition, really; the band can really benefit from this, and apart from that, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. so basically the bike odyssey is postponed. the good news? my going-away dinner will still take place at the same scheduled time and location (it’s just for a completely different reason…). i will most likely execute the bike odyssey later in the year, perhaps in november. it’ll be cooler and a lot less crowded, at least.
to those of you who donated cash and equipment to the cause: i assure you i will undertake bike odyssey in the near future. if you’re upset because it appears like i’m backing down after collecting all this equipment and money, i understand. i will return what you’ve donated. just let me know.
this is completely weird.
