I'm part way through my Rock the Desert report. My plans to write as I went quickly fell by the wayside due to weariness and other priorities, and even now I'm having trouble finding time to complete the post. However, I promise to have it up within the next day or so.

In the meantime, I'll leave you with this question to ponder, by way of a teaser: if you had already paid your headline act its guaranteed $250K, how hard would it be for you to make the decision to cancel the show for a reason that might or might not materialize?

To their credit it was an easy decision for them.

Just an unfortunate one to have to make.

$250,000 for Luis Palao?!? ;-)

Seriously, that's ridiculous money for anyone.

Nat, if there's one thing you can say about oilmen, they know how to mitigate risk. Their insurance provider was probably doing the heavy sweating.

Bryan, I couldn't agree more. It gets better...
