Lake Tahoe Gig Cancelled!

We got up this morning and all assembled at the bus for the drive from Reno to Lake Tahoe, everyone's in good spirits and apart from Pete we are mostly in good health now. We drove for about 2 hours across the mountains, the scenery was simply breath taking, beautiful valleys and snow topped mountains, you gotta see it to understand what a fantastic part of the world this is!
arrived at the hotelo MontBleu and all got settled in our rooms before meeting for lunch in the restuarant. After lunck we chilled and at 17:45 headed off to the venue in the bus.
On arrival at the venue it was immeidiately apparent that it wasn't a suitable place to stage an Adicts gig, we asked them to go and get some wood and stuff and modify the stage a little but they coyuldn't so the promoter had no choice but pull out of the gig on the grounds that the stage was dangerous, it was a shame the band were gutted but there was no choice.
I was glad that decision was made, it was gonna be a security nightmare.
so we reloaded the van and headed back to the hotel.
We all met in Hoggy's room and attacked the rider before going downstairs into the casino, for a good 3 hours the Adicts crew had it's own roullette table.
It was great fun and some of us actually won money includiung me!

We all felt really sorry for Beth the promoter who up till this point had doing a great job.
Beth, it will all work out in the end mate and thanks for looking after us!
