perfect timing

i'm listening to a dirty three album right now. its a band that does mostly instrumental songs with lots of violin, drums and guitar (among other instruments). we're going to see them play in a few weeks. we saw them last year about this time and it was amazing. it was at an outdoor weekend long festival in the country. we arrived at the property early friday afternoon to find hot dry fields of people, tents, cars and vans. during one of the first bands of the day the predicted rain storms started. it didn't take long for all the fields (and especially infront of the stage area) to become mud-- i gave up on wearing shoes at this point and just walked around barefoot in the mud the rest of the weekend. saturday, the rain eased up during the day but storms started up again in the evening. (cars were bogged everywhere by this point cuz people were still arriving late friday nite and saturday morning). dirty three were playing saturday nite. the lightning storms hadn't eased up but zac said it would be worth it to go down to the stage area (we'd been listening to a few bands thru the radio from our dry car). it was definately worth it. everyone was dirty and soaked but the band was good-- the best part came near the end of their set when they hit an epic note at the climax of the song and just as they hit that note a HUGE flash of lightning filled the sky all behind the stage and the thunder boomed (i'm sure the lightning probably hit a tree right on the property we were on). it was amazing! don't think it'll be quite that epic this time we see the band (considering it's in a small pub and even if there's a storm and lighting strikes in perfect timing with the song there's no windows for us to see).
