The Gig That Wasn't

I was supposed to have a gig at Starbucks tonight, filling in with "15th Street Jazz"...but when we got there, we found they had double-booked the evening, and another band was already there and set up (evidently, if we'd gotten set up first, we would've played and they would've been left doing what we did...chilling on the patio, drinking the free coffee we got as a consolation prize). Everybody took it in stride, but I really, really wanted to play...just another part of the ongoing learning process, I guess.
