it wasn't the best night for the visuals guy

Drove to San Jose, pouring rain.  Dropped off friend, then off to the venue to setup for visuals.  Cruized past it twice and realized how bad downtown San Jose parking can be.  Finally squeezed into a yellow zone pretty close to the bar.  Checked out the venue - low ceiling was no surprise.   I got out all my gear and strated to set and the projector would not come alive.  So I read the manual, tried many ways to get it to come alive and it wouldn't.  No one i knew was at the party although it officially started by now.  I decided it was a lost cause, and i packed up my broken junk and put it back in the car.  I told the owner of the bar about my equipment problems and slipped out.  The rain was annoying since i have no heater in the car so I  was getting pretty cold and wet like a rat.  I sat and shivered in the driver's seat while surfing craigslist south bay to see if anyone is selling any awesome projectors for cheap, no such luck.  I was not in a party mood even though that is all i could do at this point since i cannot do visuals.
I picked up the broken pieces of my soul and put together a decent face and went back in the club.  The energy from the music and people dancing and seing some friends that i knew totally picked up my mood and i had a great time the rest of the night.
