Had to drive up to Alexandria, just outside the nation's capitol, on a consult.

Me and the missus were sittin' in the rental car waiting for the light to change, on our way to find a good dinner after the day's meetings -- and a kid wearing a tux crossed by in front of us on a bicycle hitched to one of those little bicycle trailers.

Strapped to his trailer with bungees was a guitar gig bag, a jazz sized amplifier with maybe a single 12, and a black music stand.

He pumped on by, standing on the pedals and I looked at the wife and said, "OMG, he's on his way to a GIG!"

Hope it don't rain, kid.
