This is where (and why) planning works, when it does. The band had a "gig" - sort of. It was really just an invite to a party hosted by another band.

In order to do it, I had to take time off from work, which requires notice, thus, planning.

It turned out to be a magnificent day, and the setting was the Finger Lakes Wine Country in Central New York. Of course, it could have been a dud - and in that case, it still would have been a good time, because we were performing in a barn, whose open back door overlooked Lake Keuka (bluest of the Finger Lakes - although, not the deepest. I don't know how that works).

What a day it was, capped by a good performance, and all kinds of people heaping compliments on me and the band.

Some aspects I didn't plan: I didn't plan for a passenger, but did go down with my friend Al. I didn't plan on leaving so late, and I drove home tired (if I'd felt too tired, Al is a more-than-competent driver; and probably a better driver than me). I didn't plan on the wonderful spread of food, and the temptations I would succumb to, although I knew I wouldn't be in a mood to resist temptation. 

I didn't plan on there being no signal for the phone there, and forgetting to charge on the way down. That's why there are no pics, but here's one taken from the back of the barn by a stranger and put up in the band's Shindig at the Lake album:
