Calling Tonight In Baltimore

It was a pretty good club night although it didn't start in a promising fashion: I couldn't get any music out of my laptop for the opening tip!

After some quick checks, I quickly transferred the cable to my Crackberry so I could use its MP3 player for the patter but even that was balking. WTF?!

During the break, I did some further testing and found I had a bad cable connecting the audio-out port to the music-in port of the amp. It has faithfully worked for years but its time has apparently come. Fortunately, we carry a spare.

With the failed cable swapped out, all went well for the rest of the evening. We had a larger percentage than usual of A2 dancers so I spent more time calling in that program than the others. I definitely have some additional ideas for the A2 workshop series [livejournal.com profile] kent4str and I are hosting Wednesdays beginning tomorrow. :-)
