On our way up to Circle Bar-B it was blowing thru the canyons. When we got there the power was out. No worries. Dinner by candle light and a generator for the band. Back in the day they did not have electricity and we found we really did not need it.
Nice to hear that some people can cope with a minor irritation! Way to make lemonade out of lemons!
Love it! Prepared, unbowed and carrying on–in more ways than one. 🙂
Generators-that’s the way to cope…dinner by candlelight? That’s a lot of candlelight lighting up the band…how many watts of candlelight is that? Definitely prepared to limit the “minor irritation”.
From the staff to the caterers to the guests, everyone coped with the lack of power and had a wonderful night. No one complained or suffered. It was a great party – Happy Birthday Shirley!
@8:10. Enough watts of candlelight to start a forest fire for sure.
They WERE NOT without power. End of story. A generator supplies power, no matter what they used it for. There was power.
Everyone will remember this fondly, guaranteed.
I was acting in a play up there years ago when the power went out; we took an intermission while the audience went to cars to grab flashlights or lanterns, we put a fire in the fireplace and carried on. To this day, it remains a memorable event partly because the audience became part of the production.
Ms Gutshall, if you didn’t really need power, why did you have a generator?
